They are a team that is really struggling to find that balance between Calypso and ball security and are often switching from 1 extreme to the other but they are a young team and a work in progress. Hopefully the fishheads at Blues' HQ see what's going on here and tie Kirwan in for a few more years. He will turn these guys into world beaters and once again the ABs will be 14 Blues. Never forget the old adage....when Auckland rugby is strong, All Black rugby is strong...Loose Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214441467660805586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697303423229357736.post-2417257635845968092013-04-16T05:51:00.481-07:002013-04-16T05:51:00.481-07:009 Still Kerr Barlow

And if the commentators didnt say a word then i'm happy to know that the world over they are as clueless as the refs. From grant nisbett and tony johnson to phil kearns to hugh bladen(he's the worst of all but more so because he has his rainbow glasses on) and even stuart barnes who i thought would be a bit more clued up. These are supposed to be the people who illuminate the game through witty anecdotes and wisdom of the game....alas.....
