[dusk]

Put $10 on the Tahs, could be the easiest $110 ive made.

Not sure if you're getting the Sky pre-match @Dismal Pillock but Sir JK is going Blues 22+...

Oh & TJ is on comms.

Sir Buck reciting The Ode - he's National President of the RSA these days & ex-RNZNavy.

Holloway penalised for "collapsing" the maul on the ball carrier

 

[Micheal]

I know it’s been discussed to death this season but I was absolutely sure before this year that you could tackle the ball carrier in a maul if you could get to him. Pisses me off to no extent that you can’t. If that’s the rule, that’s fine, but I philosophically don’t agree with it.

So did @Dismal Pillock & @Braveheart81 end up agreeing on a margin for a S&A bet or not? DP's last post on the topic was rather cryptic...

Something's changed. It's not refereed like this anywhere else. The players don't even seem to be aware.

Tahs getting sliced to pieces - 40pts + for the Blues incoming

If the Tahs keep kicking the ball away it’s gonna get ugly quick!

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Anyone ever play Rugby 08 as a minow v the All Blacks for shits n gigs? That’s what this feels like

 

[Waleed Aly]

Donaldson is playing really well

If the Blues knock on after a linebreak why the fuck would you kick it away immediately under pressure? Take the scrum.

You're just putting yourselves under pressure straight away with the same territory loss.

Telea drops it cold, Williams ‘knock down’. That’s what we’re dealing with

No need to look at the round the neck job there on vailanu?

Good to the officials had a look at it.

 

[Derpus]

Geez Ofa was completely out of control there. Very lucky.

That's what the AR's are there for, innit?
