Tahs to second in the Australian conference. It's like a company bidding for a defence contract. Lowest bid wins. Super Rugby title NZ's to lose.

That was against the Shorks, I think.

Can't agree. Brumbies were best at the start. Then the Chiefs were unbeatable. Now it's the Highlanders. It's whoever's playing best at the end's title to lose.

How laboured was the Cheetahs attack? It was like things went into slow motion replay when they had the ball. They lacked any sort imagination as well.
Tahs were okay. They defended well.

Really? I'm more surprised when he gets something right.

No excuses - Kearns is just one-eyed to the point of ridicule when it comes to the Tahs.

Got to watch the game this morning, with a hangover....can someone shoot Gregan, happy to pay plenty. His moronic, monotone, drivel is mind numbing and I was just not up for it...and if it wasnt him it was the clown, the clown and the bore, what a combination.
Anyhoo, nice steady win by the Tahs, Beale just gets better and better, clearly best on ground for mine last night. Scrum was better again, that was crucial on a dewy night when there were a lot of knock ons.
Reece Robinson seems to be growing into the game well, he adds an extra kicking action too which is handy.
Its a big advantage that the Tahs had their 2 byes when they were down on form and confidence, now when they are playing well and winning the momentum can continue - and the other teams will drop back as their byes come up.

Yep, no arguments. But the conversation was just about Kearns.

Seemed to me in an oblique way you were suggesting Kearns sometime gets things right when he raves about the Tahs.
On the incident in question though, how could anyone with an ounce of impartiality suggest that ball went backwards from the hands. Not a single poster here has tried to push that fairytale.

Yeah. Its almost like it became a non-event about, oh, shortly after it happened.
And yet, here it is, still riding a pony. Or being ridden by one. Whatever.

Seemed to me you were clutching at straws to find something to be upset about.
On another angle of this topic, this was interesting.

I guess you'd be silly not to exploit this loophole (it seems it has been done before) but it seems an odd loophole to have in place, in this day and age of reviewing everything. I can't say I'm a fan of the idea.

Interesting.
I take the view that the refs get enough help with the TMO and two ARs who are supposed to know what the fuck they're doing. Maybe if this loophole is exploited more often, the refs won't simply sit back and let the TMO do the hard yards a lot of the time.
And if the opposing captain is coming up to the ref after the bell, and complaining about a bonus point which practically zero effect on his season, well, what a twat.
I'd still prefer a challenge system - captain of each side get one challenge per half. Let the ref do his job, then if there is some controversy, the captains get to call a challenge and the TMO has a minute to do his thing.
TMO still adjudicates on foul play in all circumstances and can stop play for that.
