For God's sake the lead up to Telea's try needs to receive a proper highlight. The Blues received the kick at the 10m line then beginning with Tu'ungafasi line break they score the try all in a single phase. It was a work of art.

[@Teabadger215]

Yeah and they decided to show the final conversion of the Rebel’s try at the end? Kind of weird

[@JrRyder44]

After all the media beat up about NZ rugby going backwards and all the NZ teams are declining I'm happy the Blues reminded them that we can still play..

Spectacular display from the guys. That loose trio is really looking the goods with Akira back and Hoskins Sotutu in such fine form to support Dalton.

There massive for the blues in super rugby let's hope they can have the same impact in the black Jersey against international sides if they're selected

[@zabaleta66]

Akira at 6, Dalton at 7 and Savea at 8. Sotutu definitely in the squad alongside Jacobson and probably Blackadder. I don't really see a spot for Cane.

It’s. About time the blues showed up with the talent they’ve had for…well forever really lol. I’m a saders fan too and it’s about time things started to get more bloody interesting. If all our teams can exceed then the all blacks are going to come back strong. Lots of new young boys to develop in the next five years. Unsure we’ll have the combinations and chemistry to take the next World Cup but nobody can deny the talent coming through

[@wolfpack9995]

Looking good Blues and what about Rieko looks the fittest and fastest he's ever been

[@mikedangerdoes]

Was thinking he looked good. Don't want to get too excited though. Rebels' defence obviously not giving him much trouble. But still, really good acceleration and intent.

I'd not underestimate NZ or England, but people do and we all know if both sides select the RIGHT team, then they won't be beaten easily. I believe NZ can beat Ireland or France. Fozzie needs to select the right team as from, now. They have got what it takes and don't we know it.

I mean can we all just applaud the best pass iv ever seen at 5.24 , I mean that's unsurpassed quality right there. And this game and weekend has also proved the point I made last week in respect to what happens when games are actually referred properly NZ teams will always cream Aussie teams. Only way Aus rugby is going to even remotely challenge NZ rugby is by slowing the game down and getting free penalties. They can't beat us on sheer talent or speed or technique.

Lol true

[@DrAAAli]

Ian Foster has some of the most incredible talent to mould into the All Blacks from the Crusaders and the Blues. Chiefs and Highlighters not bad too, neither are the canes. The problem is this. Rugby is a game of problem solving, who can come up with the right playbook to finish the opposition as well as building a game plan around 2 or 3 game breakers. See what France do with Dupont and Villere. This is where Ian has been BADLY exposed, he cannot produce the playbook, he has struggled with the thinking of the opposing team etc. It's game over for the ABs to be honest as long as Ian Foster is in charge.

[@Stuart_Cox]

Some superb play from the Blues indeed. Ioane brothers working some magic. Still expect more from professional refs letting an obvious forward pass and an offside at the ruck contribute to two tries.

[@choppax891]

Was the pass from the blues 10 to set up the try at 14-14 forward or was that the camera angle?
