And the Highlanders can't apparently.;)

You could have stayed for one more beer and only watched the last quarter.

Well, well. When the Waratahs burst (finally) into life they weren't too bad. Three pretty good tries in 6 minutes and held on for a good win.

The only thing that is going to make this game interesting or worth talking about is a bizarre TMO involvement. Don't know who it is - maybe he could manufacture a penalty try from a scrum penalty on halfway or a red card for winking at the referee or something.

The game is as boring as I would expect a super rugby game to be - which is why I've avoided the whole thing all season. The game resembles a Highlanders opposed training run against their shadow players. EDIT: At the 38th minute Kafe has observed that the ground is "dewey." I've seen...

I've tuned into my first super rugby game for 2018 - more out of a sense of obligation. First I'm told by Nick McArdle that "there's a good crowd rolling in", but when the game starts the stands appear sparsely populated (maybe they're all in the queues for the toilets/bar/food outlets at the...

Yes, I think that it's become necessary for the network to install an icebath and/or cold shower in the commentary box whenever TJ is calling either the ABs or Crusaders. Either that or have him call the game wearing boxing gloves.;)

He was working on it. Just needs to remember that when taking a hostage it is advisable to lock the door to prevent the hostage escaping.

I'd also add Gnostic that there has been a cultural war on kicking in Australian rugby for a generation at all levels of the game to the extent that the art of tactical kicking has almost disappeared. The only form of tactical kicking deemed acceptable to many of those who follow the game is...

Coaches take note. Great way to diffuse kicks.

No contests for possession in 80 minutes. That's the difference. If we want a game in which every phase is a contest for possession, then the game will be slower and there will be more need for the referee to intervene. You'll find that nearly every penalty in the test on Saturday night was...

This issue has slowly crept up on rugby. Back when I was playing, nobody ever jumped off the ground to catch the ball. On the contrary we were taught to have both beet firmly on the ground and be side on to the advancing opposition. Players began to jump for the ball and the then IRB decided...

Ben Skeen is the most interventionist TMO in world rugby. He want to run every game in which he is involved. I have no problem with the refereeing in the series - particularly the 3rd test. I accept that refs will miss stuff and sometimes will make a seemingly strange call based on their...

The TMO is now out of control.

It meant you could have a "try" at goal. Hence the term.

Final score in that was only 18-14

Assume that Joeys were playing a higher grade Shore team?

Out of interest Rich, who won 16As at Bellevue Hill yesterday?

Two of those New boys playing 1sts and another one playing 2nds. Think how good the 16As would be if they were still in it.

If you were Tongan or Samoan, you probably would have been at Cambelltown Stadium with the other 19,000 watching Tonga and Samoa play a league test.
