I was just trying to say - without getting my words out highly good - that he had a real chance to push on this year and it hasn't, to my way of thinking, really happened. Injury obviously a factor. The unsettled Brumbies (coaching) camp did no one any favours.

Hyper-hyperbole. They were not reamed by every side this season. They weren't shaded by every side this season. When they were 'reamed' the end result was often a penalty or two and a tighthead, not the apocalypse. The reds scrum did go backwards against the crusaders and the tahs, in...

Rocky Elsom.

Ditto. ;)

Higginbotham was pretty good last night with carries, tackles and turnovers. Sure, he also kicked along the sideline perfectly twice from the wing in the second half, but if he played like that every week he would be less controversial. He was pretty good mid season then got a little lost there...

Speaking as someone who put watching Brumbies games towards the lower end of my priority list this year, but occasionally checked on how they were going, I was disappointed in Palmer's year. He seemed to be off the field for lots of it injured and the rest of the time he was pretty much invisible.

I have yet to watch the recording. "Seated" at the northern (Caxton St) end some things were obvious and others mysterious, though the tries kept happening right below us - bonus! The guy behind me was from Sydney and I heard him say "the crowds nervous" as the teams took the field and I...

I'm becoming careful about making generalisations in my old age, but.... yep. At least, a stereotype that the media attention only reinforces.

Qld fan, favour the Crusaders to win by a smidgen, will be delighted if the Reds get up and proud no matter what - great year from both teams. When Aus teams aren't involved have been a Cru fan this year as previous and if they win it will be well deserved. The only thing that will send me...

You call them handling errors, SBW calls them offloads :fishing

Experience suggests that one or two of the worthies in Lee's triumvirate above - and another one or two of the wallabies in waiting in the next tier - are likely to be injured at some stage over the next 4 months. Hands may well be forced, and hopefully they are guided by currentish form. I'm...

Hmm, bandwagon. More delicious than ever.

Maybe Ticketek website now states availability for golds and silvers but it is impossible to actually get one at present.

And it's all over. Allocation exhausted. Commiserations to all who missed out.

Nah, another guy at work missed out trying to get a pair also.

Yeah, needed 3 together and ended up in Silver next to the video screen at the northern end in the ~ 50th row section 533! Succeeded on the mobile site.

Getting tickets is proving a shitfight.

Anyhow. I can't help but think that the reds really are up against it, not because of the f$%^ing match officials, but because the Crusaders are a very complete side chock full of all blacks on a mission because of the events of the year. The fairy tale is a crusaders win, really, and the reds...

Knows his way to the try line, and he popped up at the right times in attack and defense.
