Bloody good game ( for at least 35 minutes!). Well done to Australia. At half time I told the wife it was all over and we were going to get thumped. Part of me wonders how good a match it would have been if it had been 15 on 15 the whole game. Could have been one of the great arm wrestles right...

Bloody good game that.

Then all the nutters came out to play yesterday calling in bomb threats to all the hospitals, nationwide. I went in to drop a coffee off for the wife at her job in the Emergency Dept and found she was on lockdown. The game would have been an easy target for threats. With the shooter having...

Reds will cause some pain in the Aussie conference this year.

Tell you what, the Reds might be my favourite Aussie team now. Loving the way they are playing.

what a try

Making the most tackles in a team that made the least tackles of all the kiwi super rugby franchises isn't that special. In fact the Blues only beat the rebels and the bulls for tackles. https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/stats/teams?category=defenceAndDiscipline

No panic here. I do wonder how different the game would have been with Ben Smith at Full back and Naholo on the wing (his pilfering would have been useful). I think maybe the Damian McKenzie experiment is over, at least as a starter. New players have now experienced big games. We now have a...

Without the soul searching and shake up that occurred after Cardiff, would the All Blacks have won the next 2 World Cups? I think NZ rugby owes Wayne Barnes a lot.

Well I had a great day of rugby. Woke up at 4am for the ABs. Followed it up by Australia v Wales (though I listened to last half online while walking the hounds). Then watched South Africa do their best to lose to France. Even snuck in a bit of Maori All Blacks as well. Part of me wonders if...

Well I wasn't picking this score. tempted to go on rugby365 and read the meltdowns that will now ensue.

You have think they would have a crack at the ABs in the future. Established coaching team. Super rugby title and international experience. I could think of worse combos.

Highlanders cunning plan of finishing 6th to avoid having to play Hurricanes or Chiefs looks to be working.

Clearly you are in middle management.

God help us. I have only just recovered from seeing the @dismal_pillock twitter posts. You have way too much time your hands.

Its not that inexplicable. He is still too keen to get into a punch up or a stare down rather than do his job. I think he is still very much a work in progress.

Yeah, we won't get to see him shoulder barge some frenchie and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I am not confident it will be as high scoring as that.

Yet he still seems to be in the picture somehow:(
