SR2023 - NZ Derbies & v Drua/ Moana

[zer0]

Man being given absolutely every possible opportunity to win this but are dangerously close to squandering it.

 

[The Red Baron]

You have to be kidding.

 

[KOB1987]

What a cruel blow for Moana

 

[zer0]

Well. That was jammy af.

 

[Derpus]

Is there a worse way to end a close game of rugby? Urgh. Super Rugby is its own worst enemy.

Dont really get why a collapsed scrum = a penalty try either. Ever. So much between a dominant scrum and scoring.

 

[KOB1987]

There was a knock on in that.

I thought that too. I don't think that was something he was looking for

 

[Pokinacha]

What a dogshit end. Thanks Ref. Takes the buzz out of an amazing Moana performance

idk I'd quite like to see the Crusaders get eliminated under exactly those circumstances

Yeah that'll happen.

Well the Blues could've kept scrummaging until the Pasifika were down to 10. They were cooked.

I have only watched parts of game, don't know who ref is (or where he from) but only thing I would say that PT was probably correct call (I say ref is right anyway) but gut wrenching for MP (Moana Pasifika).

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Much as I'd have had a snicker at Loss Bleus losing the PT was righteous: as @qwerty51 points out if ref keeps calling penalty LB can keep calling scrum & MP (Moana Pasifika) keep losing players to the bin until they've no-one left. By comparison PT is at least a quick & clean death.

Chers ta mate, as I said only saw bits and pieces,I got people here.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

My stream kept glitching out so only saw about 5 minutes of that.

Thank FUCK.

I'm too handsome to die this young from a heart attack.

Flush the dunny and let the Ioane bros drag those jammy as hell points back to Blues HQ.....

Round 12

4:35 Saturday Hurricanes v Moana Pasifika

7:05 Saturday Crusaders v Blues: @Dismal Pillock has given the festum odii thread a shake...

Crusaders v Blues a.k.a. NZ's festum odii

The disparity in this comp is pretty stark outside a Brumbies game. That was a cracker. And most of the Aussie v Aussie games have been good too. As soon as its Kiwi v Aussie its a shitshow.

[The Red Baron]

Is there any possible way for both teams to lose this match? That would be the preferred outcome.
