@Tomikin

Thanks for your response. I'm going to leave it here though, too likely for descent into the thread that cannot be named.

'tahs only unbeaten team in the comp, 4 x Aus teams in top 6 & just 2 x NZ teams in top 8.

Edit: 'tahs one of only two unbeaten...

Who'd have predicted that pre-season?

As others have noted the Aus resurgence may not last as o/s clubs come sniffing around but I'm loving it while it lasts!

 

[Wilson]

The absolute hubris of a crusaders fan

 

[Tomikin]

Look NZ should just drop the Saders. No one likes them, and there completely trash

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

The absolute hubris of a crusader's fan

I think you have me mixed up with pre-season @Dismal Pillock & @zer0...

 

[Wilson]

You haven't just gone taken a crusaders victory later today as granted to get the tahs as the "only unbeaten team"?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ oops! Momentarily forgot Reds have had a bye not a L.

Edit: wrt this arvo I'm as always hopeful of a CruSadist W but don't feel it's a given: NZ tab have them at $1.20 favs, way too short odds imo.

The teams manager would be given the details of the flights/hotel etc that Super Rugby book, but they would absolutely be checking them and confirming them etc. just like every other tour group.

There probably aren't other instances because other teams have competent managers, who confirm late checkouts as soon as they are given details of the booking

Yeah....you check them with the person who made the booking. In this case, SRP (Super Rugby Pacific).
SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) dropped the ball - not the Drua - and the extent some are trying to go to victim blame here is revealing.

It’s really just speculation at this point about who checked what, and what they were told by who.

Say it again, SAY IT AGAIN.

Besides the Brums it feels like the Aus sides got a pretty soft landing into the season. Brums, Drua and Moana got the rough end of it. A side like the tahs could easily not win again until their next bye in week 11. Two home games in that time v the Brums and Chiefs...

Great news @Dismal Pillock, @zer0 & Loss Bleus fans world wide!

Just heard on the radio that whereas some media outlets are saying Beaugan will be out for 4 - 6 weeks, Stern Vern reckons he'll be back much sooner!

(Told you it was Great News!)

We can only hope
