28 @ McLook:
Yeah, he’s a better No 15, where he has all that space to work with, in my opinion.
Ariko Ione, eish. What brutal talent.
Blues penalty close to touch, offside and possibly a deliberate knock ruled on the attempted intercept…
32 @ McLook:
Both Akira & Rieko Ioane, supreme talents….
Damian McKenzie down injured…
Shyte its helter skelter stuff. Some big its. McKensie is tough little bugger.
Lemoenetyd
Could have 15-14 if McKenzie made his kicks.
2nd Half ON!
Almost a Chiefs try on 3 or 4 occasions… then a relieving Blues penalty, right on their own line for a side entry.
Chiefs almost through again, but the last pass to McKenzie not sticking…
Chiefs penalty for a high tackle on Brad Weber.
Try Chiefs, mauled over… Sam Cane!
Blues 14 / 17 Chiefs
Try Brad Weber, Chiefs!!
Blues 14 / 24 Chiefs
Chiefs coach must have spoken in Latin at half time.
Chiefs penalty, offside by No 2 and No 8… on the Blues 10m line.
Blues 14 / 27 Chiefs
Blues kickable penalty… they kick for touch.

Trying to optimize his impact by giving him more ball. His job to take the ball to the line. Defensive have to cover him which could create space out wide. They need another one like him out wide. His brother seemed to have fell out of favour.
Another Blues penalty, 5m out… offside!
Blues digging deep.
51 @ McLook:
Yeah, his brother is nowhere to be seen…
Blues close… advantage offside….
Try Bryn Gatland, behind the sticks!
Tough Parsons was over the line. Gatland scores eventually.
Blues 21 / 27 Chiefs
Half the Chiefs side was in front of the ball at kick-off…. not seen by the officials…
Duffie at 14 is of course a double international. Played leaque test rugby before converting. Was in AB end of year team. Had some time on the field in one of the test matches.
5m Blues scrum…
