The Silver Fern

What a disaster

0-2 to start the weekend 😬

So good, well done Black Fern 7s!

Fucking hell the Kiwi Women’s team are excellent to watch (as are the Aussie women).. Absolute ripper try to Brake there.

@antipodean said in Chiefs v Reds:

The Reds just beat the Highlanders playing away. And their weakened selection got humped by the Crusaders. I think GC Invitational XV will be shown up as pretenders tomorrow night.

Well that has cursed things

No comms on Stan, or is that just me?

Working now

@booboo said in Crusaders vs Hurricanes:

On the subject of the coverage., how shit was that segment just after half when Nisbo and Mashall interviewing Penney while the Hurricanes attacked?

Here's a thought: "Hang on Rob, we'll get back to you ... "

The highlight was Marshall with “you often do not see that”

@SouthernMann said in Waratahs v Highlanders R1:

How does a 2m player get down low enough?

In a collision based game that is the question for me. It’s a card based on current standards but I really struggle with this interpretation. If you genuinely line someone up and smoke them with the shoulder sure, red card, but this stuff I struggle with.

The pitch is a disgrace, coming apart when someone has a run.

Nice one ETNZ!

My fault that one, first race I watched live. I’ll go to sleep now.

I actually think we have done pretty well with those appointments, aside from the France Test (who is a good ref anyway) all regular Super rugby refs we are used to.

No Samisoni Taukei'aho for this tour.

Bummer

@george33 so he has joined the squad confirmed

The better news is that Wayne Smith has joined the camp in Wellington.

@ARHS said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:

Have heard unconfirmed rumours on Love Rieko DMac and Hotham this week (2 with injuries) . But the silence from official sources is deafening.
NRL is superior in generating interest in so many ways. AB fans are just left with speculation to chew on.

So aside from Love, what is the other injury/rumour?

If the other injury is DMac, then I'm worried their solution would be Beaudy at 10 and Jordan at 15.

Same.

@kiwiinmelb said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:

id say we will probably come out and pump the Wallabies and look ok doing it and not get really tested until the NH games, so we are probably not going to find out too much

Even after they got fucking humped, I still have some trepidations that we're entirely capable of playing down to their level and making it a cripple fight.

100%

Very disapointing.
