Game's a fucking joke.

FFS, just don't knock the ball on, don't fuck up the kicks and we win. Simple. Perhaps if the ref actually applied the rules of rugby, it might help as well. HONESTLY! DOES THIS REF EVEN KNOW THE RULES!!!

If you're not a Highlanders or Bulls fan, you might be excused for skipping this one. I can't help but think the Highlanders would run riot over these Bulls in dry conditions. They're still playing the same boring stuff, minus the world class forwards. Fekitoa should not be near the starting...

Oof, dude literally kicks the ball back into a ruck and the dude lying on the ground grabs it and replaces it. This doesn't bode well in the referee stakes.

I literally burst out laughing when Higgers dropped that. These bastards just played some helter skelter kiwi rugby for two minutes, back and forth, offloads and running rugby. I didn't know what I was watching. THEY EVEN went for the extremely vogue cross kick to finish.. but then woopsey...

Good god I am glad I watched until the end. I had the replay on x6 speed for the last 10mins, then dropped it to x2 and then oh shit what have we here.. normal speed. Hard luck to the Cheetahs (though they had the bounce often throughout).

If anything is going to kill rugby, have a look at the disallowed try to the Cheetahs in the 35th minute against the Crusaders. This prop just went beast mode, made a perfect offload for a golden try. Absolutely disgraceful call from the video ref after that. There must be something in the...

We have about 7 out injured atm too ;). Phwoar, no one holds up mauls like these saffa's.

Lol, I know. Think they have to go to Perth as well. Slippery fixture.

Sigh, I can see it already. The Highlanders are gonna have to go and play the Lions in South Africa again. They basically are a lock for second (maybe first) on the ladder. Given that they are quite good but also have the easiest fixture list of any team in the comp.

How is Frisby so knackered? Didn't even play 80.

The pass from Foley I think it was, shocker.

A good indicator of the quality of the ref I reckon. Some will just ping people straight away, others use some common sense.

Shirts look good, crowd not so much..

Chiefs didn't deserve a bonus point for that. Fancy getting held up when you have a two man advantage, how stupid can you play, really? That Willie Britz is a trooper, he deserves a bonus point alone.

That refereeing makes sense, the Force get rolled over at ruck time but only the dominant team has to stay on their feet apparently. He rewarded a guy for getting put on his ass on top of the ball.

Jamie Nutbrown's a fucking maniac. Spewing out penalties when he doesn't even know what they're for. 9-1 penalty count. Side point, how is it fair to penalise a guy for head high tackle, when the bastards head is at knee height. They've lost the plot with this head high stuff.

NZ teams vs foreign opposition so far: 13-0 (1 left to go this w/e) None have made the South Africa/Round the World trip yet though.

Agreed. I don't think that game will pass muster when we go back to playing the kiwi sides. It's only ever going to work when those bullshit pods break the gain line, easy to do when the defence doesn't move forward. I'm not a fan, especially because the "supporting player" basically flops on...

Live by the maul, die by the maul. Tough game that one. Yeah, he's pretty good majority of the time. Got caught out a few times tonight but he's held to a high standard. That pass is worth it's weight in gold though. Yeah, perhaps. Was a shit tackle really.
