People attach an asterisk to every title in every sport now, it's such low quality trolling. NBA fans are the absolute worst for it.

I support a few teams you could add 8 asterisk to a title and i wouldn't give even one solitary fuck.

@Catogrande Think they technically do left and right flankers, so a bit different.

Wasn't that knocked on?

Would very much have liked another look

I finally got round to taking another look.

The TMO mysteriously didn't check the grounding.

It looked to me that it squirted forward out of WJ's hands but he forced it very slightly after it bounced.

Right in front of Doleman, who saw no reason to double check.

It was only a knock out final after all.

I think you will find TMO always does a check, why sometimes they alert ref if they see problem.

@ACT-Crusader said in SF Chiefs v Brumbies:

Brumbies lineout has been poor.

And leniently ruled by Berry - a number of contested lineouts that should have been penalised he let play despite going to the outside shoulder.

On this, Murphy wasn't interested in calling some that were definitely not straight (in front of where I was sitting). It's interesting to hear what is said by the ARs, and often ignored by the ref.

@Tim said in QF Brumbies vs Hurricanes:

Bryn Hall claimed that the Brumbies got 6 breakdown turnovers vs zero for the Hurricanes. Quite a reversal.

Watching the game, it felt that they were in control of the breakdown for the majority of the game. We hammered away at their line three or so times during the game only for the Brumbies to get a turnover

@frugby said in QF Chiefs v Blues:

@Tim If Papalii put on 5kg, he could turn himself into a bastard of a blindside.

I always assumed long tern he'd be a 6 so was surprised when he specialised at 7, but I guess it was the best way for the Blues to keep their best loosies on the park.

How so politicised? Is 60% that stunning for Munster given its resources etc ?

@Jet said in Blues vs Waratahs 2025:

No sleight of hand. No swerve, no nous. He didnt construct any of them himself.

Did you actually watch the full tries or simply the final outcome?

The first try came from a huge break which was the result of a perfectly timed pass by Rieko in midfield to put Beauden in space.

Yeah haha he started and finished off the play.

@Bovidae said in Highlanders Vs Chiefs:

Apart from one botched kick when he slipped I thought that Roe was very good in this game. Obviously Ratima will start but Roe will be better for playing 80 mins.

That was quite funny, who was he yelling at as he went down?

I think he was just cursing himself.

@Duluth said in Reds v Drua:

Nicely taken try. More ill discipline from the Drua with the last passer getting a shoulder charge

Should have been YC

@Landers92 said in Hurricanes vs Moana Pasifika:

Opportunist try from Roigard. Good points for canes before the half

Choo Choo

Morgs was not happy with Sevu Reece’s knock on not being called by the referee 😬 ↳ Super Rugby Pacific. Every Match. Live & On Demand. #StanSportAU #SuperRugbyPacific.

That’s a shocking quote from Burke. Man Morgan is a whinger.

How many times have Kiwi sides been on the wrong side of bad calls over the years in Aussie?

By my count there is still 34 more favourable decisions to go in the Saders favour to make up for that abomination in the final minutes of the 2014 Super rugby final ….

@darylmitchell Inferior competition. Difference last year was Moana were worse so we beat them 2x, we beat the Tahs because they were worse, and we beat the Force in the worst game ever.

We lost our way at points this year, but the direction of travel has again been upwards.

We haven't put together a complete game yet. But the desire and grit is there. We are building nicely

That Chiefs game at home was pretty close to it against quality opposition.

Quality second half

Yes, true. Would be cool if we can put out a full 80 this weekend.

@Bovidae said in Chiefs v Moana Pasifika:

I don't think that Carter's speed is an issue - he is quick. Decision-making going into contact is a work-on as he has been held up in the tackle a few times. If you want some chaos and unpredictability on attack, he is your man.

He is quick but I am not sure he is top end quick if that makes sense - but then again nor is Sevu Reece.

He did play a bit of half-back for the Bay last season but only towards the ends of games, not really enough evidence to know if he could do it at test level.

I didn't have too much of a problem with that last try being given.

Blues v Tahs to determine who gets smoked by the Chiefs in the finals (unless Moana get up over the Canes).

In my mind, the Waratahs are favourites.

See your GP for brain worms.

RFKJ syndrome?

@reprobate wait.... what do you mean? You're posting and it's not centred around the hurricanes? Unbelievable! Hurricanes is life and now I can't wind back from my first comment so I'll try brush it off by rolling out my favourite "well it's been let go before" bunk argument.

@MiketheSnow said in Moana Pasifika v Blues:

Great watch, great result.

How Gardner didn't flash a YC for repeat infringements inside the 10m line by the Blues is beyond me.

Riccitelli got away with some no-arms tackles near the goal line. I've no idea how Gardner didn't see that.
