Jeez. I'm wishing I'd have placed that bet on the sunwolves at 21-1..
A lot will depend on whether the Sunwolves have their Test squad players back. Maybe I am wrong, but I reckon that the second-stringers are actually a more potent combination. Hungry, and committed.
Just turned it on to see the Blues concede a tight head scrum 5 out from the Argentine line and promptly lose the game. Is there anymore of a Blues like finish?
another disappointing year coming.
f*** me if Akira doesn't try and get ready to pick and drive, and Blues get blown off ball!!
Akira was ok, I only pointed it out as the most frustrating thing with him is he can do so much stuff well, but has brain farts where he has to be the glory boy and doesn't do the basics (like push in the scrum as long as he should), a little like Higgers who plays for the Reds, and doesn't get much test rugby!Akira had a fine game. His defence was terrific - he has developed a nice short passing game, and he wasn't even involved in niggle this week.

Bit of a stretch to blame that last scrum on Ioane. The ball popped out the side before it all fell to shit. If anything you'd blame the halfback or hooker.Akira was ok, I only pointed it out as the most frustrating thing with him is he can do so much stuff well, but has brain farts where he has to be the glory boy and doesn't do the basics (like push in the scrum as long as he should), a little like Higgers who plays for the Reds, and doesn't get much test rugby!
