Match 42 - Blues vs Lions - LionsWorld Forum

Wie weet, miskien onderskat die Blues ons, en miskien kan ons ons spel lig, soos teen sie Stormers. Dan weer, die Blues is nie die Stormers nie, en ons speel nie op Ellis Park nie. Tans lyk dit of die ander spanne ons en die Sunwolves "target" vir bonus punt wenne.

Ek dink dis een van die redes waarom ons spanne sukkel om die trofee te wen - te veel kere waar SA spanne"sag" is wat maklik punte weg gee. Mens kry nie sommer sagte NZ spanne nie - jy moet werk vir jou punte/wen.

Ek sal graag i statistiek wou sien hoe lyk ons spanne se wen/verloor rekord in NZ en NZ spanne se wen/verloor rekord in SA om te vergelyk. Dan kan ek sien of ek reg of verkeerd is LOL

Ja nee dis n goeie blues span en hulle rus n paar spelers....

Blues head coach Leon MacDonald has named his team to face the Lions in their Super Rugby Round Seven encounter in Auckland.

With captain Patrick Tuipulotu to sit out his All Black rest, along with Ofa Tu’ungafasi, 46-game veteran Gerard Cowley-Tuioti gets his first start of the season after coming off the bench in his first game back from an injury in the Mitre-10 Cup.

Weet ek moet my gat daaraan afvee maar die media irriteer my geweldig. Geen respek vir ons span. If anything moet ons ten minste een keer wen teen Bulls/Sharks/Stormers net om bietjie tong te kan uitsteek.

Oor die algemeen seker nie slegte skuiwe nie, maar ek sou Ruben Schoeman in die begin XV wou sien, eerder as Orie

Ons het genoeg lynstaan opsies. As ons skrums kan fire, en ons kry genoeg voorvoet bal, kan ek nie sien hoekom ons agterlyn nie baie beter kan doen nie. Warner moet net vinniger skoonmaak, en so af en toe die fringe defenders aan die raai hou.

Die manne sal moet hard werk op defence, en sorg dat die Blues nie omkeerbesit kry nie.

I like the look of the team. A few changes I would make - but mostly it has a good balance between hard grafters and guys with X-factor. However, games aren't won on paper and good selections means nothing without good preparations by the coaches. Let's hope the players have been drilled well in training, worked on the tactical and technical issues, have a solid game plan and a plan B and back themselves to get a result.

Historically game 3 on tour is the toughest, the fact that we are mixing things up will hopefully help us keep energy.

I like that we have 3 "locks", Line outs are an issue and need to be resolved.

Campher must make the step up now

Ek laaik ook die span hulle kan dit doen doen net die basiese goed reg en gee als dan kan ons dalk veras

Ek rate nie vir Frans v Wyk nie. Nou dat ons skrum beter doen, gaan dit seker weer vou in die eerste helfte. Hoop ek is verkeerd. Weet nie hoekom bench hulle Sadie nou nie
