The Cheifs are a worry. I think there back to full strength and coming of a win against the Hurricanes, also there home game.
Change of tactic? The Blues scored their first try off of a poor kick!
The kicking game failed big time against the Blues = the bloke who was doing the kicking was having a poor game.
Did the Blues invent some brand new angles that have never been used by anyone in Rugby before?
Yes. Yes they did.
How about we get the Force to play that way against all sides next season and see how well we go.

Are you meaning if we win but dont get a BP? Because in that situation we'd finish 5th or 6th (depending on the CRUvHIG result) with the Canes and Ponies dropping out.
Essentially comes down to:
- Highlanders - We win (or get 2 BP) and they lose to the Crusaders then we go above them;
- Hurricanes - 1 BP we go above them (more wins);
- Brumbies - Need to beat them to go above them;
- Chiefs - At least get get same amount of points & BP to stay above them (more wins).
To make the finals we need to be ahead of 2 of those 4 and an win even without BPs achieves that.
Regardless of all of the above, it will depend on who we get as the ref![]()
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
I dont think the Chiefs played all that well, they made a huge number of blunders and lacked cohesiveness. Against the blues they will struggle with similar game plans, too loose and the blues will find holes everywhere. The Blues scrum is one of the best in the comp (i still rate ours above them though) and this will help them get a good platform in attack.
maybe im just wearing blue shaded glasses...
The Chiefs play the Blues in Auckland, where they haven't lost this season (Positive for us).
Hopefully we can beat the Brumbies on Friday and it won't matter who else wins!
From a purely rugby standpoint, the Blues should have this on form and with home ground advantage. Doesn't mean I'm holding any breath at all though...
Warratahds get caught in Salary cap issuse and ARU Suspend the warratahds
Sorry just had to throw that one in for a laff That's right ARU couldnt suspend themselve forgot about that...
The Brumbies look like they're getting a few players back in time for the match - Toomua, Tomane, McCabe, Rathbone, Carter. Dammit! Hope the boys are really working on making those passes stick!
The reality, is that there is only one thing we can control (the royal we) and that is the game against the Brumbies, if we win, we have a shot at the finals. I assume that's all the boys are worried about, and it's all I'm going to worry about!!
