The Jaguars are 1 - 4 now, after winning their first game. A bit disappointing. They've been competitive in all their games, but now comes a couple of very tough games against the Canes and Saders in NZ, and I'd be surprised if they won either. After that they're off to Tokyo, where they ought to break their losing streak against the hapless Sunwolves.

Nice to get a win, but it was unattractive stuff. Dropped balls, wild passes, stupid aimless kicks. A lot of side-to-side, without much up-the-guts. Sharks coped with most of it pretty well, and swooped on our frequent mistakes. Clearly the worst team in the NZ conference.

Ranger out for the season with a torn ACL. He'd been working hard, but not wreaking the tackle-busting havoc he was creating before going to France. Nonetheless, he's a significant loss.

An interesting thing to note about the Blues, is that they have played other NZ teams 4 times (for 1 win). The other NZ teams have played only 2 "derbies" each (each with a 1:1 record except the unbeaten Chiefs).

They might not be as bad we think.

The Blues in fact have an unbeaten record against foreign teams (2 wins - albeit close ones, 1 draw). This is better than all other NZ teams bar the Crusaders.

Aw ballix. He's been improving game on game for me. Love watching him play.

Blues look much imporved, if less than brilliant.

Piers Francis is a terrible name for a rugby player. Nearly as bad as Percival Montgomery.

The Blues attack looked really crisp against the Rebels. Much better catch-pass, and looked threatening every time we had the ball. Damned near gave it away, mind you.

The lads from Iron Maiden were sitting just behind us, in a room that usually seems to be used for coaching staff, or at least Blues insiders. Didn't know they were rugby fans. You could tell it was Iron Maiden, because not only was it actually Iron Maiden, but also half of them were wearing Iron Maiden T shirts.

Bloos 24-0 down 5 into the second half.

They can't buy points.

31-0.

I don't think I'll bother with watching the replay.

A good article from the Herald (!) on the challenges of contracting age grade players in Auckland.

Nice. 3 years. That's like a marriage for SBW.

I can see him being a big part of the championship-winning dynasty that's about to boil out of Auckland. The early years of it, anyway.

Great for the midfield depth in NZ

Who is taking odds on SBW lasting 3 years?

I wonder how the Blues will ruin and/misuse him?
