Tupou isn’t having his best game

I really rate Pietsch. Just so ferocious in contact and competes so hard in every moment.

Honestly - if I was Jorgo or another young up and comer I’d see if I can land a contract at a top French or English side and get away from this absolute dumpster fire of a team. Better pay, better coaching, better results.

At least over on Reddit there is a huge amount of sympathy from neutrals about this bizarre fucking refereeing performance

Why is the ref coaching the Boks player about the rules and giving him 5 seconds to act in accordance with them?

The rules in rugby union are only enforceable about 60% of the time it seems.

Noah is just such a bad, bad player.

What was the rationale behind that bomb from Noah? Seems to be very very low percentage.

Great scramble from Pausanias to collect that. He really fought for it.

Once the kick was in behind it was over - we don’t have the speed required on the wings to compete with the top test sides.

Harsh penalty. Happy to have Marika back. If Noah is the answer, we’re asking the wrong question.

Hoiles- much like anyone affiliated with the holier than thou Randwick crowd - shits me to tears.

I mean it's the go to clearance strategy for every international team as it's clearly the best option to exit your own territory, so you better get used to it being used all the time.

Didn’t you hear the refs explanation? He said that TJ only knocked it on because he got injured. This makes sense because the All Blacks don’t make mistakes unless something unfair happens to them. To return balance to the universe, the ball must therefore be given back. That’s rugby.

Just imagine a Wallabies backline of with Cleary at 10 and Crichton and Latrell at 12 and 13. I wish.

Can we reneg on the Sua'ali'i deal and sign Stephen Crichton instead? I'd take To'o, Luai and Mitch Moses too while we're at it.

To be fair - as a 29 year old Sydney sider - I honestly don't know many people that didn't watch it. Not sure where you're based (or your demographic) but it was a huge talking point in my circles / at work.

Does anybody else find it annoying the extent to which the commentators are hyping as Bowen as 'the man to take the Waratahs forward'? We're dead last on the ladder and yesterday it was Harrison, before that it was Edmed and before that it was Donaldson. No 14 year old flyhalf is going to...

Ffs rulings like that kill the game

Super Rugby is increasingly becoming the Children’s Crusade. Next season the Waratahs squad will have an average age of 14.
