Super Rugby 2025 NZ/ Drua/ Moana matches

[waiopehu oldboy]

Beginning to think ASav might just be the best transfer signing in Super Rugby history.

LOL just as I finish typing he gives away what could be a crucial penalty.

Moana can close this out from here.

Felis catus has entered the Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae dovecote...

Moana into the Six.

Loss Bleus now seventh.

Clan can start thinking about 2026.

Basically said that Miller dipped a bit. Thought that when it happened, though wouldn't of been surprised if it was upgraded.

[zer0]

Boring polished match for 1st place: I sleep
Backyard brawl cripple fight in the mud for 6th place: real shit

Whoever loses in Christchurch could find themselves in third if Brums get the points in Perth.

 

[Dan54]

Can't see the Brumbies dropping the game against Force.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Force go better at home than away but, yes, Brums would be favs to get the job done.

Can see JOC (James O'Connor) coming on early if Reihana's struggling.

Was worried Papali'i would be unavailable due to some HIA shenanigans. Would like to see 12. Lam 13. Taele 11. Ioane, but seems unlikely at this point.

Funaki can play 80 minutes.

You need Lam on wing zer0, that first half last week really showed what happens if they don't have specialist back field players. BB was covering the whole area on own. Left no options.
