Un-Australian Activities 2019

[zer0]

Blues to grind down the Sunwolves by having ~90% possession & territory en route to a crushing, comfortable 3 point win. Hopefully it rains tomorrow. Hurricanes to win just because. And the Crusaders to repeat what they did against the Reds and autopilot their way to another win, just with a greater scoreline because it's the Chufs and is in Christchurch.

Blues lose

went record scabbing in Tokio, dragging my loaded suitcase through the driving rain for 4 days was way more fun than thinking about those f***** c*** f***** Auckland Blues.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

I've gone 'wolves, 'canes & CruSadists. Based on my tipping history there's therefore a good chance the Bloos will run riot & the 'canes get caned .

And so it begins......

And so it continues, Clan 22-14 Horrorcanes

good close game, the two good (likeable)
nz teams

I thought it was rather average, both teams were well off the boil. Missed passes and a bucket load of knock ons. Also BB had a 'mare throwing a delightful intercept try.

Mauger having a wee dig at ref Murphy:

Gotta say I thought one of ASav's late steals was marginal & Luke W was a tad unlucky to be pinged but in saying that Clan only have themselves to blame, shoulda played to their set-piece strength.

It was dumb from Luke Whitelock. You have to play the situation and the ref. That always likely to get pinged in that situation.

Yep Dc, both teams were cancelling each other out a lot, not real entertaining as such, but I enjoyed regardless. I will say I was bloody impressed with Ardie Savea's workrate, Cane's tight 5 are a problem, so he was doing a shit load of their work in the rucks etc.

Yeah it seems his lift in ruck work comes with a loss of his running game. Or at least the Highlanders worked well to contain his runs. But that final 10 minutes from him was immense.

 

[Upthenuts]

D Macs trying hard to play for the crusaders today, useless

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ God knows why you'd kick-pass to Reece's wing esp when your bloke's the hooker. Can't even use the "never seen the dude before" excuse given Reece was a Mooloo last year.

Joe Moody off with an ankle injury but at least he was able to walk off so maybe (please) it's not too bad.

 

[Up the Guts]

Chiefs strike back, although bungled multiple opportunities to get it done earlier.

 

[southsider]

That Will Jordan has hogged it twice close to the line when he should’ve passed it.....very lucky to get that down

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

In news that should alarm all Bloos supporters I'm now tipping them v 'wolves.

 

[Derpus]

Race to the bottom between Bloos and Chiefs eh.

Chiefs might take the spoon based on point difference, at this rate.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ my tipping comp 34-26 predicted score is looking pretty shit right now..........

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Weber zigs when he should run straight, pass goes to ground & nek minnit try CruSadists. This is getting embarrassing. I may have to PM some of wifey's Tribe-fanatic whanau & offer my heart-felt sympathy
