Genia needs to show more patience before passing the ball out to Quade. No point in giving the ball to the backs if they haven't committed many AB's to the ruck. OZ are usually really strong in exploiting overlaps but you have to create one first.

What ref would have had the balls to give the try anyway? Chances are if they did some fat bok supporter would waddle on to the field and attack the ref.

It was a shocking call. The pass was definitely forward but the ref was clearly wrong in not awarding the try. If the ref admits to knowing the rule then he should be sacked. Not stood down, not fined but sacked. Still the best team won but that ref has to go.

Nonu clearly not supporting his body weight.

I dunno, seemed OZ were able to get away with their fair share of that type of niggle.

I was surprised with how well the ABs played. I definitely thought the game would be a lot closer than it was. OZ scrum went quite well. Not sure if Crockett will suffer any world cup repercussions due to penalties he gave away. Genia and Copper were on a hiding to nothing when the OZ...

I've always thought Gear is a solid defender in the tackle but his choice of what player to tackle can sometimes be wrong. OZ run some great lines so Gear could be a target imo. Jane has the opposite problem, he knows where to be to make the tackle but is prone to being flat footed and being...

That was a really interesting video, great work. Though I didn't agree with your tip :-) Can't really see the AB's being able to run this OZ side from left to right. OZ have too much pace.

All Blacks named for Saturday ALL BLACKS: Mils Muliaina, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Zac Guildford, Dan Carter, Jimmy Cowan, Adam Thomson, Richie McCaw, Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Ali Williams, Ben Franks, Andrew Hore, Wyatt Crockett. Reserves: Corey Flynn, John Afoa, Jarrad Hoeata...

Awesome win for the reds and they absolutely deserve it after the top season they've had. They were the kind of team that I was sure they'd topple over once final rugby started but they got better and better. I thought it was great how they didn't sit back and wait for Cooper to win it for...

I thought the Tahs played pretty well considering their injury list. The 1st 30 mints from them was really good. Their ruck defence was immense in the 1st half. Most of the Blues players being easily pushed back in the tackle. Would've been a great contest if both teams had been able to...

Was Sommerville only signed for one season? Any idea where he's off to next? I hope Hammett can convince him to come to the 'canes :-)

I'll back the Chiefs to win this one if they can find the form they had against the Blues a few weeks back. If the Chiefs play like they did last week the Reds should give them a hiding. Will be good to Ralph having a run at super level again. He was a really accurate player for the Crusaders.

I loved the call Jackson made in the Chiefs v. Blues game. The one when Mils just had a foot in touch before catching the ball. Was a great call and good to see he had the nuts to make it.

I haven't enjoyed the super 15. Probably has a bit to do with the team I support imploding (going through a transition :) ). I've gotten sick of the two derby games. Bit of an overkill. Will be even worse in a couple of years. I've watched a bit more of the top teams from SA and Aus...

I'm not sure if it has been suggested but the easiest way to find if Stu was biased/useless would be to make a youtube video. The video could show all the calls he made, or didn't make that went against the Crusaders. You could have voice over pointing out all the mistakes as well. The key...

Sat June the 18th Canes vs Crusaders. I already feel sick thinking about it.

Totally agree. I don't think I've ever seen an Aussie player commit a professional foul on purpose. Also sick on the NZer's constant cheating. It really is wrecking the game.

Watch any tri nations game this year. The guy gets away with so much it's not funny.

Yeah, I rate Pocock a bigger cheat.
