Blues putting down a serious marker in the 1st game… Tana Umaga will be pleased, despite some little errors still to be eradicated.
12 Minutes to go in the game… one can safely say the Blues are safe for the win here…
…. and with 7 tries to 2 the Blues also look safe for the Bonus point…
Rebels penalty, Rene Ranger straight to the bin with a Yellow Card…
Bigggg fumble and knock by Garden-gnome-Bachop!
6 Minutes to go in the game… scrum on halfway
Blues penalty inside the Rebels 22… and they will kick for goal to let the clock run down more… they do indeed look safe for the bonus point now!
Over!
Rebels 18 / 56 Blues
The Rebels have just been outplayed in the 2nd half and on top of it they have made error after error.
Tana Umaga, Blues Head Coach, looking quite relaxed… and so he should be.
Difficult to work this afternoon.
Feels like a Friday.
Blues now just nailing everything shut…
Seconds to go in the game…
Game over, big Blues win!
