Crusaders seem to have all their front line players back now - just in time for the finals. I see Dagg, Samu and Romano all have been dropped out of the match day 23, Scott Robinson made it pretty clear to the press that they have been dropped not rested or rotated.

Lions have the bulls at home next week, so Jags need to get b2b wins in South Africa. Can seem them beating the bulls, but not getting the points second week on the road and agaisnt the Sharks.

Thanks for the info, but that's sad. Without winning a single game the Sunwolves had some pretty good crowds in Japan averaging 12K, and one week even had the biggest crowd of the round. Then they played in Mong Kok in front of 4.5K and now Singapore in front of about 4K. Given they have...

Game was in Singapore. Not too sure why.

I like it, Crusaders don’t even play and they have a great round. Almost guaranteed the conference and top spot now. Jags now have an outside shot of finishing 2nd - which would mean bulk travel for the away if the ‘saders host the final. Whitelock, Crotty and other AB’s can have an extra...

That’s crazy, the French just had no one marking our 5/8 who was standing at first receiver, which was why he had to join the defensive line. Was their 5/8 on the wrong side of the scrum marking no one?

Re Mounga - I thought that too, but then realised it is his international debut, so maybe not that unreasonable to come off the bench. Nor will he be that devo'd.

Yeah somthing like that needs to happen. Two reds cards on the weekend. one was for 65 minutes and the other was for 1 mintue. Crazy system.

Gordon Bray: “Even the referee Nigel Owens would say he is straighter than that throw”

Yeah I think DMac is going to be a permanent fixture on the bench. ‘Mr utility’

Sweet, bonus point win.

I challenge you to find someone who has a good thing to say about him. Does it in a polite way, but DC shreds him in his book.

It’s early days for him though. Also I I’d not realise how tall he was, quite a bit more than Folau.

Damn.

Shields at 6. Wonder if the chat of him starting in the second row was all smoke and mirrors. Or did we actually come close to seeing the biggest section brain snap since Giteau started as half back against Wales?

Well the English ref, Aussie TMO, South African citing commissioner and the French coach disagree with you. TBH given how low Ofa Tu'ungafasi went (IE about as low as you can go) I struggle to see how it was even reckless. But it appears few people are going to agree on that – so be it...

I see 'Independent citing commissioner Freek Burger of South Africa has cleared Ofa Tu'ungafasi of committing a red card offence', so he will be available for selection weekend.

Pretty sure calls go for them and against them just like any other team -think about the lion series last year. That yellow card was horrific though, thought it was just a penalty live and in the replay not even a penalty. Glad the AB’s got it done by 40+ so it wasn’t an issue.

Aussie ref and Aussie TMO. Why are you supposedly ‘rigging’ this for us?

No prizes for guessing why the crusaders always win in the rain. 1. Moody 2. Taylor 3. Franks 4. S.Barrett 5. Whitelock (C)
