Fuck that's disappointing not to get a bonus point.

Go the Stormers!

Well done Tahs. Should they make it through to the final against the Shorks, will be a doozy of a match

New Plymouth glazier standing down.

 

[Quick Hands]

Impressive win. Well-deserved try at the end.

 

[Gooddog]

No worries - got one - just saw Foley in the corner....

Now back to sleep for an hour.
These early games

My motm is AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

So would it be too late for the NRC Rule Variations to include scrapping the Torso Try rule? If you don't have control of the ball, it shouldn't be a try.

Absolutely sensational work Tahs! Loved big Dave Dennis' slide for the penultimate try.

Excellent team performance with everyone doing their job superbly.

Congrats too to Foley for his 6 from 6 kicking display - maybe the Rebels game was just an aberration.

Actually, the players being half to one metre offside was the more egregious miss by the TMO, I reckon.

Geez the Tahs played well, I do remember posting on here earlier in season (just though I would remind you that) I thought they would be team to beat, but after not being overly convincing earlier in season, they sure playing bloody well.
By gum 2 dads is playing as good as I ever seen him play. The Hooper/Cane battle was pretty good to wasn't it?

The TMO wasn't asked that Cyclo, he was only asked to rule on the grounding. I doubt whether a TMO would of ruled on offside with camera angles we had on tv!!

 

[Tordah]

well, I know who I'll be rooting for if there's a Waratahs vs a non NZ team in the final playing some nice, good looking footy, especially in comparison to what some of the other play off contenders are dishing up

Cane was a monster.Huge game from him.
Honestly, I can't imagine why AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would not be auto-pick at 13 for the Wallabies. He's just getting better.

Yeah, and the TMO always sticks to the brief this season! I'm glad Pollock was so sure Akee was onside. No-one else seemed to be! Anyway, it's done and dusted.

Douglas was our best forward imo. Massive in defence and the rucks. Dennis 2nd and then TPN - lining him up in the backs for a defensive lineout was a genius stroke.

 

[Set piece magic]

Whats the bet every SA team facing the Sharks tanks like they always do to make sure they get that precious home final

 

[biggsy]

Another good hard game from the Aus Teams
ACC has a wallaby wing spot with his name on it. Such a good hard runner and finisher

That's a bit ridiculous, they could ask the same question about the Reds vs Waratahs match. The Bulls tanked a match but they had good reason to because they had sewn up #1 and deserved resting their players.

I'm also sure there's a strong rivalry amongst their franchises just like ours. Sharks/Stormers is like a Reds/Waratahs match. Not to mention Bok spots on the line.
