SF Blues v Brumbies

@Crucial Yeah with Ikitau I thought the first tackler didn't actually affect the ball carrier's height so I can't see how there would be much mitigation

Even if he did the risk was always there as Ikitau was aiming to go for a hard hit above the chest and was coming across with a late wrap.

@Daffy-Jaffy if he gets off that, World Rugby should involve themselves as overseeing all competitions.
@antipodean or someone competent....

3 week ban for Ikitau

My favourite Blues v Brumbies moments. Rupeni back in 2003. Shame about the shitty video quality
@Duluth showed it all in those 3 tries, speed in that first one, the support play in the second, the skills to pick up in crap conditions and swerve in the third.

Rupeni is the most gifted player I have ever seen.
With the right path, he could have been one of the greatest players ever.@Frank said in SF Blues v Brumbies:

"I’m told he was the best trainer last Thursday."
It's the Ozzie rugby way, winning on the training gound.
Only there, but at least they won something

@Machpants in fairness Valetini has been playing the house down this season but yeah Doran writes some rubbish at times.

@Stargazer hope sapsford goes well

I expect that the honest review on Monday after that average performance will have them wanting to put in a much improved effort.
I think they'll munt the Brumbies. 20+

I hope so.
So much depends on the ref. The Brumbies were the most cynical team at the ruck I saw - just flooded it, and figured the ref wouldn't ping every time. It kinda worked, too.
Blues should get to 30, Brumbies should struggle to get to 20. But knockout footy's a funny game

@Duluth that pickup for try three is pure class
In terms of just pure entertainment, my favourite super rugby try.
His try against Scotland at the World Cup was even better

What happened to cheer leaders
I don't think the organisation saw them as popular with fans.....

Another old Blues v Brumbies match
This one is from 2012. The Blues had a horror run with injuries (I remember something like 11 locks injured?). So the season was a disaster. This game was about the Brumbies building momentum into the playoffs there wasn't even a question that they wouldn't make it
The Blues injuries had eased slightly by this stage of the season and Piutau was in great form.
