The Blues win ugly

Great to have the Blues winning in the sudden death game against the Warratahs last night but in true knock out rugby they won ugly. The forwards did well and in the second half starved the Warraths of the ball and any territory. The backs looked like they had never met beore let alone trained together and the performance was the same. The first half flattered the Blues due to poor tackling and they dodged several bullets.

Lets hope they can get their stuff together before next week. My pick is this is as far as they will go as both the Reds and the Stormers are better disciplined as are the Crusaders.

For the next week though the few Blues supporters at the beach can savour a season when their team has delivered results much better than in the last few years and more often.
