forgot some things - watching izzy he seems to consciously be choosing to not run at the defense as much which i thought was odd, watching some of the plays.

also, beale stepped up and played well - great to see.

She - it.

Takes a bit to get you out of retirement. Welcome back, however brief it may be.


Do we see your next reappearance when we Bring Bill Back from RWC 2015.

Pumped and exhausted, voice gone. Need rest but adrenaline is flowing fast.

naza, mate, I know how you feel. It's a weird feeling. That was about the worst 80 minutes of my year. I thought I was going to have an aneurysm.

I texted those words to Gagger in game.

Just watching the replay on Fox. The result was never in doubt.

Shouldn't have been - we outplayed them massively. But fuck it never felt like it wasn't in doubt!

I was surprised how much they kicked to Beale and Folau. I was expecting more kicking to corners to force the Tahs to lineout all day.

Don't want to be a dick but personally I would go very close to giving Cliffy Palu MOM. Every time he touched the ball he went forward irrespective of good ball or bad .
He has had a great year and his form will be such a big point of difference for the Wallabies in the tests to come this year

 

[USARugger]

Not sure how that could be construed as you being a dick - Palu's been immense this year!

Good on the 'Tahs and it's awesome to have the Super Rugby trophy back in Australia. Was an awesome final just like I thought it would be

 

[A mutterer]

palu was immense, he sparked a lifting of spirits a few times, as did hoops.

 

[Dave Beat]

Palu, agreed beaten to it. Huge work rate.

I have supported the Tahs since I played Under 9s for Chatswood and got a broken nose for my troubles. That's pretty much all I got out of the Tahs until tonight.

Like 1993, this victory is one for the True Believers.

I raise a glass to Lee Grant, Lindommer, Fitzy the Bloody Aussie, Cyclopath, Moses, Matt, jonnosan, and everyone here I've shared a beer with since 2003. Good onya boys, we deserved this.

Don't be a stranger Scarfman—were it not for you many of us would not be here.

About what you have gotten out of the Tahs until tonight: I was listening to Ross Reynolds on the radio (ABC Grandstand) at the ground, and before the game he described what the Tahs had done since the Super12 started:

Since 1996 they haven't won a chook raffle.​

All I have to say about what they won tonight is:

Some chook—some raffle.​

What a sensational game of rugby. That it was played under the enormous pressure of a final is just a testament to the comp and two very good rugby sides.
Congrats Tahs and the Tahs faithful. Condolences to a well represented Crusdaders. No other side could have pushed NSW so close.
Enjoy it boys. You are the toast of Southern Hemisphere rugby this week.
Hats off to you all!

My heart nearly stopped in the last 5 minutes of that brilliant game, my voice was gone in the first 5 minutes I nearly crushed my mate with an embracing hug at 80 minutes and am still completely hyped up. Brilliant. I'm not as old as some of you but the wait was worth it. The heart and passion they played with and the brilliant crowd should all be something to reflect on. Always focus on the field and always noise off it. Great game tahs.

Thought Hooper was incredible. To make breaks like he did late in the game is just insane. Huuge engine

Tell you what, i would be more than happy having Rob horne on the wing come bledisloe 1
