Mrs McLennan only confirms that firing Rennie was a terrible move by her husband. Rennie has been mocked for a ‘kumbaya’ culture but apparently 2 wins out of 9 and getting knocked out in the pools stages of the RWC with record losses builds a ‘winning spirit’. And blaming the players…many of...

The difference between releasing, as required by the law, and ‘coming off enough’ is the difference between winning possession and giving 3 points to the opposition. If a ref can go back 5 phases and reverse a try for an incorrect ‘no knock-on’ call (despite it being outside what the laws...

A game can’t go much worse for a team in the GF. Contentious calls and non-calls, playing a man down for most of the game and still keeping SA try-less and unable to score at all in the 2nd half. There were only 2 moments in the game where SA looked wven remotely close to scoring a try and one...

Much at all lol For a game that is struggling domestically, there seems to be little to zero willingness to engage with the local fan. I reckon my son has had about the same, if not more opportunities to meet rugby stars from visiting Aotearoa teams than Brumby players. 6yrs of playing and...

‘come off enough’?! There is no such thing. The Law is to release. Ardie either released or he didn’t and Barnes knows he fucked up when he sees the replay. I don’t blame the loss on Barnes but it would have been nice to have been gifted 3 points as well. Around the 79min mark would have been...

Yes…but it’s the fans who gets everyone paid…

This made me chuckle….

The one big thing that I thought was good about White’s time at the Brumbies was that he seemed to understand the importance of local rugby and keeping the Brumbies connected with the community. IIRC, every Brumby player HAD to be connected with a local club and there may have even been...

I’m not into blaming refs for results but the notion that they are untouchable and cannot be criticised is ridiculous for obvious reasons. 1. They aren’t perfect and they make mistakes. Sometimes they are big mistakes. It happens. 2. Everyone else is criticised. Players, coaches...

IMO, the Brumbies do not do a good job of engaging and drumming up local support. It would probably be the easiest Australian franchise to do it in and they do SFA. Il

Like when the ref calls ‘No knock on’ and then the TMO calls it back to reverse the try right? In the context of the game, it ended up being quite a consequential 3 points.

Mo’unga kicks the conversion or Jordie hits that penalty and it could have been a different story. Agree with both you and @zer0 re: DMac

I don’t like thinking that one call is the difference. The ABs missed a couple of opportunities but it’s hard to see why you would call back and reverse a try but not a penalty.

Hats off to this AB team. Played a man down for most of that game and still kept SA try-less and scoreless that second half. Not much more the ABs could have done given the circumstances. Really feel for Sam Cane. It was a deserved red card but worried he’ll be vilified back home.

That should be a straight red….

Barnes admitting he fucked up and gifted SA 3 points

Is EJ (Eddie Jones) ‘obsessed with winning’? Cos he did fuck all winning this year. He’s told us that he selected a team he thought could do a ‘smash and grab’, then it was about selecting younger players who would learn and grow through this experience and now we’re told Cooper and Hooper weren’t ‘obsessed...

Nepo Laulala?!?! oh dear god

I don't think anyone has said that.
