This has the making of interesting game this one! As grif says, be good test of where Brumbies actually are, and probably same for Blues. I reckon both teams probably play similar confrontational type game when playing well, so could be the makings of a good one.
I am of strong opinion that afternoon rugby is not wanted by tv, why we don't get it. I also understand clubs wouldn't be keen either. But tv is main reason, even here in NZ when club stuff has finished NPC is played at night.
Good to see he has done it with disussions between NZR/Razor and Leinster club, obviously not wanting a burnt out wreck coming back. Even as a Canes man I happy with this, we got a bit of midfield cover, and can understand JB wanting to do it, have heard him say he wanted to spend a decent time...
Haven't watched all of second half, but have to say the Rebels seem a good team, it's hard to think this is the same team that I watched in Palmerston North a few weeks back. Well deserving of their place on table, and enjoyable to watch.
That was bloody good. Canes forwards are certainly standing up. It's not often I have been able to say Canes tighties are dominating. I remember @waiopehu oldboy saying how happy I was when Lomax came to Canes, I was and still am!! Numia has come on, and Aumua is other huge part of why scrum is...
Yep Berry was telling someone the game was over if 80 mins ticked over before he kicked etc, but it's all just a lot of nothing anyway, Crusaders didn't probably deserve the win anyway, not that I suggesting Tahs did, but whether he could of/should of taken more time really is just a furphy...
Well have to say Tahs deserved the win, but by christ what a couple of bog standard teams on field. Game was kind of exciting only because of score, defence seemed pretty optional at times. For Crusaders Reece was in full energiser bunny mode but apart from Hannah going well, there were none...
Well hope the Reds are happy, my picking comp I not only has them winning, but also be biggest margin!!! Are they now on same wins as MP (Moana Pasifika)?
I thought that was one of best decisions he has made, looked a genuine attempt. I not overly convinced by Mabey as a ref, he seems to struggle a little to let game flow. Mind you a hell of a lot is down to the 2 teams at the moment, skill level from both teams hasn't been something that has...
Salivating over the Canes/Chiefs, was going to go down, but with the weather we are due for I just pulled the plaug. The drive down in wet weather doesn't do it for me, f*** I'm getting old!!
Well I assume the fact he was being taken out without the ball?? Or did Lomani have the ball? And no I not saying it ok, but I trying to see what mtigating circumstances would be used?
