You Know It’s Been Wet When…

…you go to have a shower after the game and find blue dye from your jocks  down your legs.  Nevertheless, despite the monsoon-like conditions at Blues International Stadium yesterday, we came away with the Easter eggs in both games. Bs turned in a sterling performance missing a few key players to record their fourth bonus [...]

Big Thanks To Road Safety Southland

To show how much we love our major sponsor for 2011, this went up this morning at Blues International Stadium…. And the “famous quotes” are up in the new shed too….cheers Goof and others

Easter

Two games @ Blues International Stadium @ 11am Saturday.  What a bloody debacle, but needs must…

Is Rich Little The New Terry Wright?

Some would disagree, given that Dags does not have the skinnest legs in the Bs (step on up, Jack Egerton!) but he does have a sense of what champagne rugby is all about.  And so it was that he was the deserved winner of Player of the Day for the Mighty Blue Machine Premier Development [...]

Tough Day

Bs get another cracking 40-pointer with a 49-12 win – 9 tries, 2 conversions.  Outstanding result. Prems show all their class – but unfortunately intermittently – but come away with 3 points after a five-try 32-all draw thanks to a last minute penalty from Herbie.  Fabulous game from the tight five (even if the Woodies [...]

There’s a few changes and re-arrangers for tomorrow’s trip out to the SH1 swede paddock at Woodlands (Bs kick off 1.15pm, Premiers 3pm, Senior C All Stars @ Wyndham 3pm).  Look for a certain Australian of a determined persuasion to set the record straight on a very average write-up which didn’t match reality last week; [...]

It’s Out There Now…

from the Southland Times: The Blues Rugby Club is about to launch an academy for south Invercargill high school students. The academy, which is being driven by Blues and Stags player James Wilson, will initially have students from Aurora College and Te Wharekura O Arowhenua engage in specialist coaching and education that will also count [...]

Blues v Marist

Bs pull away after 5-0 at halftime to win 38-5.  Well done boys Prems score a six tries to two, 44-23 win.  Halftime 18-9. Tries to Manu, Towney, Lew (on debut), Herbert (2), Horton; Wilson 4 con, 2 pen. Match report is here.  Some things to work on but the eight year opening day hoodoo [...]
