Blues remain grounded

The Blues may have had a barn storming start to the 2013 Super Rugby season, but staff are doing what they can to keep the young team level headed.

The Blues backroom staff has been putting together video footage of where they went wrong against the Hurricanes and the Crusaders. Areas highlighted were the breakdown and set pieces, two areas the Bulls will no doubt target.

John Kirwan and Graham Henry, with the mountain of experience they have amongst them, want to keep the team motivated and hard-working – somehow holding on to an underdogs tag rather than being all out favourites.

Walsh cited and cleared

Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett complained about referee Steve Walsh’s handling of the game in his team’s loss to the Reds.

Lyndon Bray, boss of all things referee, agreed that Walsh got a few calls wrong in the last quarter of the match, yet still got a majority of the calls in the match right, and that no action will be taken against him.

Walsh sits out this weekend’s matches, but not as a result of the action taken against him.

    @Te Rangatira-48:

    look the Blues are strong favorites for a resounding win.

    lets just hope that if the Bulls somehow sneak it, those Auckalnd hooligans keep it tidy.

    I’m sure all the the Blues fans here will.

    :lol:

    If Bulls were to sneak it, I’ll be the first to call for calm…. Character assassinations of Bulls players…paid off refs…and supporters , especially my friend Houston, be done in an orderly and calculating manner. As for the Blues fans over here…..they’re mild compared to some of the nutters around the back blocks…

    looks like the south africa.n influence in aucklan is back to its apartheid ways huh? so much so that theyve create a small enclave on the north shore. hiw long before your lot there try to segregate the non saffas in that area? have you guys built gated communities yet ?

    and you really shouldn’t do that type of thing whatever when you go to games

    I know it was bred into you when your family used to persecute people back in the home country aye bro?

    plenty of you on this blog are the biggest hypocrites ever.
