^ I rests me case, m'lord... Squeaky bum time for 'canes.

Surely you take the three to make it a 15-point lead & then go looking for the BP try?

^ another of those letter-of-the-Law penalties that hardly ever gets called these days. Does my head in sometimes (more so than usual, some would say :-))

'canes resting some players but I still expected it to be one way traffic which may of course still happen but Moana hanging in there at least for now.

To be fair to Ma'a, he was comparing Super Rugby to T14 not URC, but I do love the bit about SA "leaving Super Rugby because of SANZAAR".

Fun fact Wednesday: Rob Penney's overall Super Rugby coaching record is now 7-0-23. Of coaches with 30+ matches in charge only former Force coach Tim Sampson has a worse record. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/350277345/how-crusaders-coach-rob-penneys-record-compares-his-super-rugby-peers

Caption needs a pic/ caption writer needs a calendar: "Five Big Things That Happened Today: Thursday, May 13" Good one, 1news.

“After discussing this at length with Sam, I fully understand the reasons behind his decision and support him,'' Robertson said. Riiiiight...

BP win there for the taking, Brums. Penney may as well give Kemara a run, for better or worse he & Reihana are the near future until the next big thing out of Christ's or Cheechee Boys (or Fielding, or Wanganui Collegiate :-)) are Super Rugby-ready.

Not convinced about that YC, thought it was pretty much accidental & would've been let go had the injury not occurred & the injured player not subsequently been landed on. Great game, hopefully this comp becomes an annual event.

Justice!

Surely that's a try? How else does it end up grounded?

Card coming... Edit: might have gotten away with penalty only had he contested it in the air.

God I hope CruSadists got Johnny Lee signed up before things turned to shit for them. Kid plays freakishly like RMMcCaw at the same age. Edit: sneaky like McGOAT, too: picks up the boot an Aus player lost in contact & casually biffs it another few metres away.

^ Clearly Aussie mums prefer Sunday arvo footy to just another day at the beach... How well has the ground stood up to six games in ten days, four of them in heavy rain? Turf barely has a mark on it, ground staff are absolute legends.
