[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 391562, member: 24910"] Quite an interesting game, despite the wet conditions. It was a bit messy at times, however both teams had periods where they displayed some superb ball-handling skills. The Blues certainly dominated the first half, but the Tahs did come back well in the second half to keep the game interesting. The Blues tight-five performed pretty well as a unit, with Boric particularly impressive. I was also again impressed with Saili at 8; he's starting to mature into a top class player. He was one of the Blues players that really seemed to rally the team when it looked like the Tahs might make a serious comeback in the second half. Probably the standout Blues players were the outside backs. Payne looked was his consistent self, Ranger looked dangerous as always, and it was great to see Rokocoko looking dangerous as well. Toeava was again the best player on the park - if there is a better outside back playing in Super Rugby this season I have not seen him. He looked dangerous whenever he got the ball, breaking the line numerous times. He was also solid at the back, pulling off a great try saving tackle, and he even managed to rip the ball from a Waratahs maul when it was over the try line... If he is not starting for the AB's this year there is something wrong! [/QUOTE]
