Super Rugby R4 Reds v Blues

[waiopehu oldboy]

Loss Bleus' biggest weakness is at 9 & 10 (& 12 if Faiane isn't there). Disrupt them there & it really doesn't matter who's out wide or coming off the bench, they're basically rudderless.

 

[drewprint]

Rugby players should have real names like Choat, Heem or Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens.

Zarn. Totally unfair that the Blues are allowed to select players from Andromeda 9. Typical NZ poaching.

And there seems to be only one hyphenated name!! Where the double bangers for christ sake!!!

Blues biggest weakness at 9 is actually Ruru. Christie and Nock are fine.

 

[KiwiM]

From what I saw in Super Ao, if the Blues forwards don't provide a dominant platform the Blues can struggle a bit.

Agreed - although Blues backline is better balanced now than what they rolled out in SRA with no Ruru at 9, Faiane at 12 and Zarn at 15.

BPA and Sorovi front and centre to promote, probably a good chance Sorovi plays then.

I find it to be the least impressive design yet for an Indigenous jersey.

I have always thought the Reds do it better than any other team including any other code.

Henry to be given the goal kicking duties. JOC (James O'Connor) did miss one last week.

This could easily be applied to every single rugby team that ever took the field for a rugby match ffs

Reds:


Uru, Mcreight and Thomas out for Blyth, Wallis and Sorovi.

What's the word on Wallis? Losing a lot of quality off the bench with Uru & McReight gone. Are they injured?

No detail in the reds article. Wallis is promising from what I've seen, looks like they've really gone for size with those changes, which is not the worst choice, though I probably would've retained Uru over Wallis.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Others will be able to comment on his form but he's been on the bench for QLD a couple of times earlier in the year from memory and either got no minutes or next to no minutes. With Blythe on the bench we have no cover for our backrow at all unlike with Uru. Based on how exhausted Wright and Wilson looked ast weekend I can see Wallis being used a lot earlier.
