[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 894573, member: 43875"] the blues are generally a good team, the NZ conference is brutal and ultra competitive. The blues haven't won a game against other NZ sides a long time now but most of the games are under 10 or even under 7 points difference. This was still a surprise result because of the chiefs game, after losing a game they looked like they were going to win against the Highlanders in week 1 they took a step backwards and lost a home game to a severely depleted chiefs lineup. They looked like they had a lot of work to do and the Lions are a highly respected team in NZ. To be fair the Lions are the only team outside NZ you dont automatically expect a NZ side to beat. More so in an away game. I didn't see the whole game, just extended highlights. But you know I have been talking about how Pulu isn't doing well enough as a playmaker for the blues. It seemed like their comeback from 18 points down was all done with Pulu off the field and the replacement 9 Ruru looked like he did a really good job. It makes such a difference when the halfback makes good decisions, it looked to me like Ruru really helped spark the blues attack. This result will likely see him get more gametime. [/QUOTE]
