haha got to love the bench getting on the mic "fuck yea".

Love it when good simple passing at speed results in a try.

I'm more impressed that they have found a way to collectively chant without being instructed to over the loud speaker. ;)

Force by 12, Godwin to score a hattrick.

His comments seem like a pretty reasonable assessment.

This is already a nomination for thread of the year :D

When it takes you almost 10 mins in the OPP 22 to put points on the board something is wrong. It just seems inefficient to me.

I was watching without volume but thought he didn't do too bad. The breakdown was a mess at times, and it just seemed he wasn't focused enough on the key aspects of this game (ie: he tried to manage too much when all that was important was clean ball at the ruck). There wasn't a clear standard...

Yes, the double movement talk is misguided. In fact the laws actually specifically state you are allowed to "move twice in order to score".

Force are missing Godwin this week. Less creativity in the backline.

Not sure why Smith would want to come back (I know, Lions tests are the pinnacle of test rugby). But surely there is a sense of "I've had my fun, time to pass the baton onto the next guys"? It's the era of Gill/Hooper/Pocock, if we were ever ready to move into a new generation of backrowers...

They should be getting the large majority of decisions right - obviously. But there clearly is a limit to their ability (albeit an "excuse"). Limited time and massive pressure are just two. Next time you see a TMO making a call, try and put yourself in their shoes. You are locked away in a room...

Brumbies are the best team in the comp right now (on par with the sharks). But I think the Reds will pull this one off. Hopefully you guys get a big crowd down there to get the players fired up.

yeww, good defence force.

I don't think it would work well in rugby union. The only reason you can do that in rugby league is because the offside lines are so far apart. At the end of the day one ref would probably look better than the other, and everyone would say "Craig Jobert is fit enough, why doesn't he just do...

True. My solution was all over the place. If Pollock was too incompetent for this game and he's NZ's best ref then what will bringing another kiwi out of retirement achieve? If elected I promise to bring Stu out of retirement to boost the referee ranks in these tough times.

If being neutral citizen was such a critical aspect to officiating a super rugby game then you wouldn't feel in a position to make that claim. But let's not let facts get in the way of a good story. I say bring Bryce out of retirement and put him on the next Brumbies v SA game, because...

It's 30-12. In the second half Nic White kicked a 47m penalty. Then Christian knocked a 25m penalty over. Then Tomane scored a breakaway try, converted.. to make it 30-12.

Nice. I'm starting to hate the TMO protocol less now. Damn right that wasn't clear and obvious, play on!!!

He'd do a good job on the wing. But he's too good at playmaking and decision making to have away from the ball in any super rugby team. On the weekend he played 15 but came into second receiver on may occasions to set something up for the backline. That's where all the tries were coming from. He...
