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
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..
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.
in the future they can use it in a can you guess what happened next? show. Put the Rebels at 14 - 0 up on screen, then see if anyone can guess final score lol
Class is class regardless of who you support. You gotta appreciate this Blues side, clearly the best team in the comp. 1:24, the luxury of having an 8 that can distribute like Sotutu
Melbourne scored all of their 28 points in the first 6 minutes and last 6 minutes of the game. 2 converted tries at the start and 2 converted tries at the end.
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
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.
@@ally3960 Hopefully not Reiko, he hasn't got the passing or defensive timing for it... he's still arguably our best winger though, hopefully he's at 11 for the ABs.
Caleb Clarke has to be back in the ABs. He is such a force! Not in my starting 15 for wing position (Jordan & Reece are my favourites), but definitely should be in the squad. So much potential in the young man.
What can he offer other than just running fast? I see no off load skills no fending skills no side steps no X factor types. I’m sorry but he’s still got a long way. He only made ABs coz of his dad
I'm looking forward so much to the Blues/Brumbies match. Could be the match of the year, but the Blues are so hot right now they might do us by 30 points.
The blues are a joy to watch this season. Rieko ioane is turning into a superstar at 13. He surly has to be a starter at 13 for the all blacks this year.
there is no substitute for it and i believe if ABs get a bit more punch in the forwards and put them ahead of a backline like the blues- be hard for any team to beat
Brilliant on the attack, sloppy and questionable in defence (what a catastrophic initial 6mins...): The Blues sure are entertaining. Great to see Caleb Clarke back in full force, and Lam as their best scorer as of late was not even playing.
@@ericdavison6186 @Eric Davison Yeah, well I don't underestimate the English. People are quick to forget and that is what I see with some people. 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.
@Graggle5 well said that. When prem league teams get their international players back, they thrive. The squad gets normality. And names are already on the sheet. As for picking players ' in their club position' .... what's going on.!
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.
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.
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.
Tu'ungafasi - from a card liability every time he laced his boots to a quality international prop. How wrong was I. well done sir do the same in the black jersey no doubt.
Restrictions have been eased quite significantly, but the crowd was never going to exceed 20k, especially given the fact that it's a Friday night game, with a 7pm kickoff, fighting peak hour traffic heading to the game beforehand, coupled with weak opposition, and colder weather......
Great to see creative fluid running rugby from both sides, was starting to get sick of the rolling maul tries, yes it gets the job done but geez its boring to watch!
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
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.
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..
Hahaha wat a performance
We will tell if they are going backwards or not during the Ireland tour.
@@aj-qj4lt 😂 will see
Bro really said the same thing on the all blacks video of the same highlights as this one💀💀
@@eganpatricktabaro6252 you worry about your springboks first. Talking themselves up like they never lost test match last year.

Yeah and they decided to show the final conversion of the Rebel’s try at the end? Kind of weird
Wales boyo here
I wish we could play half as good as both these teams amazing rugby
Brutal to go up 14-0 in less than 10 minutes and then lose by 50 points. That's gonna leave a mark.
in the future they can use it in a can you guess what happened next? show.
Put the Rebels at 14 - 0 up on screen, then see if anyone can guess final score lol
0pfffqo"/€
RTS gets the valuable player for assists. Ma man setting up the tries like a champ
surely it's only a matter of time till he starts scoring them. the look of dis on his face after that last try assist -priceless
Rieko, Ofa and Tucker played amazing tonight
And Akira and Hoskins and Stephen Perofeta and Caleb Clarke and Mark Telea and Roger and Zarn. Actually it was a brilliant team performance
So happy to see Akira back and already in good form. Add Sotutu to that mix with Papaii and we have forward pack with a good variety of quality.
All ABs contenders i reckon
That "Telea" superman dive try finish,😯 give that man a cape...👏👏
You don't see many modern day thrashings like that
@@BLUES_N8 You want me to send you a video of me tackling Akira Ioane, who i've never met ?
You're so dumb Nate :D
Excellent performance by The Blues. NZ rugby is still strong. Cheers from Germany
sheesh ioane brothers on fire 🔥🔥
Rebels played quite well & scored some nice tries despite getting sassed. SHOT BLUES 🔥
One of the best, excellent tries, great to watch
The blues took that 14 point trail VERY personally
Note to every other super rugby team: don’t score early against the blues
Crack up hahaha
Nice how the Blues gave the Rebels a 14 point head start
Class is class regardless of who you support. You gotta appreciate this Blues side, clearly the best team in the comp. 1:24, the luxury of having an 8 that can distribute like Sotutu

The blues had to wake up first, then after the blues went to bed the rebels snuck in again
Riko Ioane shot out in the centre like a canon ball for his 3rd try. 🔥 to burn.
So good to see him running freely from midfield.
I’m a saders supporter, but man these blues are looking good … how well is RTS fitting in.. playing well

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

Who do u think will be playing 13 on the test matches mate?

Hes much better than reece
Still needs time. Makes lots of mistakes.
@@c0smoKram3r his defo a starter for me absolutely lethal. An a massive ball carrier
What can he offer other than just running fast? I see no off load skills no fending skills no side steps no X factor types. I’m sorry but he’s still got a long way. He only made ABs coz of his dad
Clarke is levels above Reece r
Awesome show by the blues. Keep it going.
Great game from the Blues...
A lot humbleness I'm seeing in the Blues,. Bro at centres is interesting . WELL DONE
Clarke and Ioane are absolute monsters
I'm looking forward so much to the Blues/Brumbies match. Could be the match of the year, but the Blues are so hot right now they might do us by 30 points.
brumbies not gonna win anymore games.. gonna lose all of their last games
Nah I'm looking forward to the game tonite,Chiefs vs Brumbies,watch out for my Chiefs everybody here we come
@@sunnysamuel2915 your chiefs lost dude!
@@Lawence-rg8lg yeah they suck my bro,brumbies are pretty good.
Thanks 😘
Reiko and perowheta doing what they do best proving all the haters wrong good on them keeping to themselves and not letting all the hate bother them!
Perofeta has learned a lot in the last 1-2 years- he's pushing the big boys now...
Congratulations
Easy to see RTS gonna be our new SBW for the Allblacks lesss goooo
Brutal from the Blues
Gotta feel for the Rebels, Blue were pissed off after below average performance last week
I am not a blues fan but man you got to love t he rugby they are playing atm!
that back line is MAD.
Roger will be struggling to comprehend all the winning ...he might even get a medal at the end of this comp if hes lucky ...good move roger...👍🏽
Looking like a home final at eden fortress🔵🔵🔵
The blues are a joy to watch this season. Rieko ioane is turning into a superstar at 13. He surly has to be a starter at 13 for the all blacks this year.
The end footage 🙏 ❤
I don't care what team you follow... that was electric from The Blues.. and boy oh boy they got some speedsters! Great watch
there is no substitute for it and i believe if ABs get a bit more punch in the forwards and put them ahead of a backline like the blues- be hard for any team to beat
It’s the Warriors vs storm in reverse 😂
Storm vs blues for the biscuits
Would be great to be able to watch full match.
Wish they show it soon
🤙🏉🤞🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼
Usually don't hear Justin Marshall this quiet in commentary. Makes the highlight even better 🤣

Shecks work off the ball is gangsta, back doing what he loves haha
Akira has always been an excitement machine
i always said if Akira got fitter and meaner look out... it's look out time
As a Chiefs fan after that performance I'm just about convinced the Blues will go all the way,hopefully a Blues/Chiefs final and the Chiefs win it🤭☺😉🏆
you are a true chiefs fan, i would be glad to just make the playoffs the way this season has gone, it would be a huge upset for that to happen.
@@MusMasi 🤙OK bro
@@BLUES_N8 Nah my Chiefs ain't classy enough I'm picking a Brumbies/Blues final
@@sunnysamuel2915 me too- outsider 'saders
I'm a Chiefs fan.....I'll be happy enough making the top 4. That might be it.
Ioane, papalii & sotutu 🔥🔥🔥
Good games guys 🤣💗
What a finish from Telea--those are some individual brilliance that you can't coach even though it is not the first time we've seen it.
This one was personal. The Blues saw Melbourne Storm put 70 on the Warriors so they went and put 71 on the Melbourne Rebels
Hahaha great angle of perspective 🤣 👌
Hahaha you're probably right
Rebels: *score first two tries*
Blues: So you have chosen... death
Well awesome. Someone could get our beloved All-Blacks to look like this again, but I feel it may not be Fossie.
I agree. Yet over the year, he's used 60 odd talents. A bit like Jones here in blighty. Time to play the 15.

Those 2 early mistakes brought the beast out this Blues side😮. Sheesh was a masterclass drubbing. Hella entertaining!!!!!
I expected this type of score line against the Drua. Well played Blues 🔵
Na if u been watching the dura they been more then competitive.
@@solekefs626 sure. But that was what a lot of people would’ve expected.
@@f1j11slander4 Fiji drua is unpredictable with their rugby which makes them dangerous
A great display after a bit of a shake-up. All Blacks coaches will be reasonably happy with the display, too, I'd venture to think.
reiko's 3rd try was an absolute gem......
BLUES! Firing on all cylinders at last, awesome
C'Mon Blues!
Good to see the kiwis turning it on again to show the difference in talent and pride
Blue us the new Gold standard 🥳
Great game!!!!!
Reiko has to b starting 13 for ab's & akira at 6 🔥
Who was that # 10 he sure made a different .Aloha everyone.

Was the pass from the blues 10 to set up the try at 14-14 forward or was that the camera angle?
They took a look at it and the refs were happy with it
That's the highest score in the series yet isn't it?
Tu'ungafasi - from a card liability every time he laced his boots to a quality international prop. How wrong was I. well done sir do the same in the black jersey no doubt.
Rebels got a whoopin! Great game Blues
that was a exhibition match holy
Rebels need more of Pone
Whoaa go the blues
Nice win Blues. I forgot that RTS plays rugby now lol.
Not gonna lie, they had us in the hal..five minutes
I don't like how you cut the best try scoring sequence in half instead of showing the entire thing
What’s a beauty 😘
Up the BLUES!!!! Cheeeeeehooooooo!!
Get Telea an All Black jersey right now!!!!
Slow start blues, but yeah you cracked the pepper on your dinner plate.
I wish I could have watched the full game... Great Blues performance or the Rebels not being up to snuff?
Unfortunately Australian Rugby has still a long way to go
Tbf the Rebels are near the bottom and Blues are hot right now
lesssgooo blues! back to back on ways!
Shout out to the uso Mark Telea cheeehoooo
😶🌫
Why’s the stadium so empty? Does New Zealand still have covid restrictions on Stadiums?

looks like the score of basketball..anyway nice gameplay and try was good..
