Solid game of rugby. That last turnover to the Canes was dodgy as hell. But oh well - when playing the Kiwis you have to factor in at least 7-14 points worth of ref bullshit.

Pfft luck. Twice in a row is pure skill.

What a load of fucken nonsense. Jog on.

Whats with Aus sides ruck defence? Non-existent. Hurricanes have made a shitload of breaks and meters against both Rebels and Reds directly through the ruck. 101 rugby stuff. Can Gordon kick? Hes looked pretty good and Hodge, you know, isnt.

Fuck i hate that stupid fuck with the slow burning passion of a thousand dying suns. Just a z grade human.

SBW is a challenge huh.

I don't think it really works like that man. You can't predict injuries.

Rugby seems pretty demonstrably less strenuous than league for an outside back. Less games and less contact. Dude just had a bad run with injury and now seems, i guess, hesitant? I remember when he first started at the Reds he looked deadly every time he touched the ball. For Aus A he looked...

Brumbies with almost a full Wallaby pack. I'd be playing it as tight and slow as possible. Expect to see plenty of bullshit from the Brumbies around the ruck. Blues will score from anywhere on turnover ball.

That fluffybunny still alive?

Well if they play anything like last week 'canes by 20+

Also worth noting the European FFP rules came in to stop clubs going under (clubs like Leeds, Malaga, etc) rather than to stop clubs like City financially doping. Which seems to be an issue for rugby. Edit: although - its basically two ends of the same coin. While one team dopes, another needs...

Weird to say it but that tight five should shit on the Reds. Uru to lock is a bit grim if you ask me. He doesnt seem to have the game for it and he was pretty disappointing (particularly for my fantasy team) last weekend.

Naiyaravoro springs to mind.

Yeah dunno how exactly but I guess some form of financial fair play rules. Does seem unlikely given how disparate the leagues are. I think rules applying to teams rather than individuals would almost certainly be preferable, but i dont think it would be a 'restraint of trade' issue. Restraint...

I wonder if world rugby could have played a bigger role in regulating the player salary market - which is what ultimately underpins all the uncertainty in rugby at the moment including here and in Wales etc.

Vaguely.

Nonsense. MK was a Wallaby within 2 years.

No one plays rugby anymore. Dunno how much 'planning' will help. Maybe we can just will Super Rugby standard props into existence if we hold hands and think hard enough.

Gamble standing out early on. I'd like to see 6. Swinton 7. Gamble 8. Gleeson for the Tahs at some point.
