Un-Australian Activities 2019

[Derpus]

Wish Nonu stayed in France tbh.

Tribe out-Bleus Loss Bleus. Maybe. Wainui may have knocked that on. Nah, he's kicked it up to himself. Try! Tribe 28-15 Loss Bleus & yes it's a cliche but they MUST score next or they're toast.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

And they do. Hint of a knock-on, but. 28-22.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Official attendance 14,977.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

That should seal it.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Nonu has other ideas. Still Tribe's game to lose but fuck me they'll be sweating the last two minutes.

 

[Derpus]

What a match. Blues nearly chased them down. Fuck Kiwis are good the rugby ball.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Tribe hang in there.

 

[zer0]

Bugger. Was an entertaining match regardless of the result. But it does feel dirty when an intercept is the difference.

EDIT: Nonu also looking like he'll eventually rub salt into Folau's wounds by taking the Super Rugby record for most tries. Needs another five, I believe.

FFS, that was a bloody ripper, I just got my breath back! geez there were so many players on each side that went well, it hard to single any out!! I bet there are a few in the ice bath, and not many will feel like another game tomorrow!

 

[Dan54]

Just watching the 7's & musing that if Japan can play in Singapore within living memory of their occupation of the island & associated violence, surely a footy team named after one participant in a series of wars fought 700+ years ago maybe ain't that big of a deal?

Lol yep WOB, but they not called the Imperial Army!

 

[Dismal Pillock]

poor Loss Bleus slogged their arses off but, of course, in the end, Weber's tinpot intercept the difference.​

​

Nock should be starting as Ruru's pass and footwork is just too cumbersome at this level.​

ffs Parsons. wft was that. Has reserve hooker Moulds got leprosy or something? Face AIDS? Bum herpes? Hand HIV? Parsons looked like a lost old lady having a seizure when he missed ALB. He didn't even know what direction he was supposed to be fucken facing. Get this pudding-handed clowntit OFF of my fucken rugby team.​

Hoping DMac's knee not too bad, and really hoping Lurche's shoulder ok, he was immense again last night. I was quietly impressed with how well TJ Faine went for Blues again , he certainly plays a good game. Also enjoyed the mad Ranga Robinson and his battle he had with Lurch, that boy does not know how to take a backwards step, or to clock off he is just non stop working his arse off in every game.

More SA Conference madness:

Pushes Jags into the top eight.

Given Folau still had years to go, he would have ended up so far ahead.

I heard Dmac is out for season. Could be wrong though.

Edit: Yep, 9 months:

BB to 15 and Mo'unga to 10. Gotta be.
