That's a fair question. We've never previously had two Super Rugby titles awarded in one season and so this is a new scenario. I think neither title will mean as much as it would have if the other one hadn't been played. Another twist is that Super Rugby. Aotearoa is likely to never be played again, and the TT comp will likely be very different in the future. The pandemic really has changed pro Rugby in the Southern Hemisphere forever, and I guess we should probably just be happy that we have some Rugby to watch?

I've contracted a mathematics post-doc to crunch the numbers and the results are in:
Can't argue with the math. Further, if we take this inalienable result and follow it to it's logical conclusion, by virtue of each being in the TT final:
The numbers and shit have spoken, innit.
Champion of two countries > champion of one country

Well. Shit.
Referee: Mike Fraser
Assistants: Ben O'Keeffe & Paul Williams
TMO: Brendon Pickerill
Fraser is probably the best of a bad bunch, but still.

The one about lies, damned lies & numbers & shit comes to mind. Can't recall who said it but he was right.
Wait til you see who's in the comm box & on the sideline.....

Oh God no.
Please no.
WHY do they get this man to broadcast matches with anything to do with Auckland?
His disdainful hatred of all things Auckland is a constant, palpable presence in his voice.

^ Nisbo's not THAT bad, surely? Oh, you mean Not Nisbo, don't you?

Aha, just realised that with Himeno playing, the Pitcairns will activate their cadre of local comms. They are present for every Landers match he plays in. Ergo, no TJ for me. Sorry Zer0/KW/BR etc. You will have to bear the brunt of TJ's hateful sneer and bilious and bileful rancour without me.

It's Dixon's 100th & possibly last tonight so the post-presentation haka should be something special regardless but holy shit if they win the Resident's or Neighbour's Association (I can never remember which is the No Fun Allowed one) will be having conniptions.......

"An Auckland Blues fan who would only identify himself as "zer0" says it was not wanting to listen to tv commentary of the match that directly lead to his unruly behaviour that saw him ejected from Eden Park mere minutes into last nights' Final. He was heard shouting "It's all that cnut Tony Johnson's fault, I tells ya!" as he was escorted away. Bail was posted by an as-yet unidentified Pitcairn resident."

Coupla strange options by Clan, taking the three when a 5m lineout & maul was on & moreso taking that scrum when THP had just spent ages getting several km of tape applied to his knee. Could well cost them points here.
Yep, too easy really. No-one marking up any wider than the far post & not far enough from goal line to get across, Talea virtually unmarked.
