Well, this is a real yawn.

I’m three games into the competition and far away from being convinced that ting ourselves to Australia is a good idea.

Maybe we need domestic competitions followed by a Champions league style pool and finals with Japan and South Africa (or pacific, USA)?

Lol Japan teams are much worse, and US teams wouldn't even beat an NPC team

I know, but at least we’d have games in Japan so I could go watch.

Bryn Hall is offside at every scrum. Why is the ref letting him do it?

Have you not watched this half of rugby?

Fair

Honestly, I dont think they can come up with a competition which will be good following Super Rugby Aotearoa.

Ponies will lose this by 30

@gt12 agreed but how often does the defending 9 get ahead, push or grabs at the attacking 9 before he even gets to the ball.

Set the tone.

Some rules are simple but refs ignore them

Machpants

He goes off on a searching run..

FFS time to retire, he just rambles out the same phrases over and over. In between name errors, that is

That comment has been the highlight of the game.

Gotta agree with comms, why no HIA?

gt12

No HIA for Ikitau after that non-tackle tackle?

Bones

Haaaaa what the fuck was that, halfback. Disgusting option, atrociously executed.

Do they not know how to do this properly in Canterbury?

@machpants why did it take so long? Blues had a player pulled for the gamecwith no knock that was clear

No idea?

I'd be interested to see how that ball got there, to be picked up for three try!

Probably a Taylor hand!

Hall has been sharp.

And that's about it for this game

Game is close, I would like it if the Saders lost as at least it would give this competition some fire.

By the way I’m supporting(ish) the Saders

Lose a game and you're pretty much out, I reckon

Machpants

Crusaders attack has been blunt as for a fair while in this game
