Super Rugby Matches without a match thread

Lavanini also gets two weeks, in his case two matches (Herrera's two weeks somehow equaling only one match: why? Because SANZAAR):

http://www.planetrugby.com/news/lavanini-banned-for-two-weeks/

" MrLavanini has three previous citings and a yellow card for similar dangerous play.
Because of his previous conduct and repeated offending, I indicated I would add a week to the suspension (to three weeks).

"Given his remorse, cooperation and early plea, I was prepared to reduce that by one week to a resulting suspension of two weeks (covering two matches) and I gave that indication."

Whiskey
Tango
Foxtrot.

Still nothing on Havili (& still haven't seen any vision so don't know if he's Hannibal Lecter or Mother Teresa).

He must have brought good biscuits.

Wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't suspended for that but you never know

[galumay]

Cane's v Blues about to kick off, probably another long night for Tana's boys, but you never know...!

 

[Upthenuts]

just watching the hightlights of Ardie hes an energizer bunny, close call if him and hooper ever find themselves marking each other on the wing

 

[galumay]

Shocking mistake by the video ref there, it really brings the game into disrepute when such incompetence by officials prevails.

Might be a momentum change for the Canes right there....oh no it isnt, Kaino gets one back on the refereeing team!

Lavanini named so obviously got away with last week's piece of dirt.

Blues v 'canes is insane, five tries already & they've only been going 25 min.............

 

[swingpass]

Great half of footy Canes have missed 15 tackles so far

 

[zer0]

Blues game plan: Bouncy-ball Paremoremo jail break out.
Hurricanes game plan: Bouncy-ball Rimutaka jail break out.

The result is pretty entertaining.

 

[galumay]

What purpose do the assitant referees serve? The Canes just played the ball on the ground in a ruck, blatantly in front of the AR and he said nothing!

 

[galumay]

Cracker of a game, had to feel for the Bloos, probably their best game of the season, but it wasnt quite enough. Probably the best game of the round so far.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Wildly exciting game for the first 60 mins then reality set in for a certain subset of viewers. “These bench gimps are not quite good enough, we are going to fucking lose the game.” Sure enough, Mcgahan slips off a tackle and thar she blows.

From there, spent the remaining 20 minutes spiraling down thru The 5 Stages of Auckland Blues Grief Acceptance:

• Tears.
• Anger. Fuck you Aaron Paterson you shitty cheating TMO fucknut.
• Reverie. A misty-eyed reverie loftily sustained by the jet-fueled contrails of those first 60 minutes of awesomeness.
• More tears, this time nothing to do with the rugby. Just general dismal confusion perhaps.
• Resolve: to scour google image search for a pic of that Aaron Paterson cock-bottle glasses spatula fucker so I can bust out my MS paint set and childishly etch a giant swastika into his fucknutting tosser forehead.

Hey DP, just thought I would say Good Morning!!!
All is good in this Hurricanes household this morning.


By the way where do I send this unmarked envelope to Aaron Patterson?

 

[Dan54]

Mind you I do have to say I really enjoyed the game, certainly no shortage of entertainment in it. I do tend to think that Matt Proctor at centre is a fairly underestimated player in NZ, and by geez young Kara Pryor for the Blues certainly got around the field, bit like his older brother Dan seems to know how to give 100%
