Hopefully Montpellier gets to see the greatness that is Leone Nakarawa off the bench.

Development has been invaluable. Given that we've now lost, I would've preferred Toby and Paul to be on that plane to London. The ones I'm really happy about though are Jeffries, Sefa and Placid. Now that they've played here, I'm much more confident about them in playing at Super level...

Ddn't City get the bulk of the WTS as well? And the best of the club players? And guys like Kerevi and Kuridrani who weren't signed this year but will be next?

Don't mean it like that. We're stacked. So were you (in this game). Vikings and City too. But had Eagles gotten through, I'd be supporting them. Its a stupid thing but its my thing. :p

Maloney mentioned that he has a Corked Back at the airport, was on crutches, but should be right to go.

Lots and lots to talk about. First of all I'd like to congratulate the Spirit on a wonderful game. I'd always been scared this would happen, and wanted the Vikings or the Rays to sneak in, as the Spirit had the greatest potential outside the top 3. Fabulous game on the defence, and took every...

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

Jesus Christ both Kearns and Maloney need a refresher. Spirit brought the ball behind the line, so the charge down is Rising feed.

Need a turnover from this scrum.

Wykes comes in from the side, disrupts the maul and wins a turnover. Well done from the big Lock.

Jesus Christ. This is not because of the 3 lost players. This has been an abysmal performance both in attack and defence. All credit to the Spirit, their defence has been wonderful.

Need to execute here. And it's knocked on. Absolute shit from the Rising. Absolute Shithouse.

Rising are their own worst enemy here. Completely and utterly their own fault.

Paul just utterly savaged that new prop.

Placid scores an awesome individual try on the counterattack. Debreczeni converts. 52 minutes gone, Rising trail 16-21.

Consecutive mistakes from Neville and Timani sees the Spirit in for their 3rd of the match, and Zack Holmes converts.

So... first 40 minutes. Dominant 20 minutes but really really poor execution in the Spirit 22, not helped by the wonderful defence. Spirit struck twice in the next 5 minutes, scoring a try off phase play and poor alignment, then an intercept try from scrappy play. Rising struck back off a...

Way too scrappy from the rising. Fumbles, grubbers, charge downs...

Same formula from the Rising as had been all year. Dominant opening stanza, before letting the opposition in. Difference is that they didn't score 2-4 tries in that time. Mitch scores off first phase ball, Debreczeni converts, Rising trail 8-13, 28 minutes gone.

Brache is in for a double after an intercept. Conversion is good, Spirit lead 0-13 24.30 gone. Poor execution in the first 20 minutes biting the Rising on the arsenal.
