Tahs continue the festival of mediocrity

Holloway was our best

BoK is a terrific ref

Holloway was an 8 to start his career he's made a good fist at lock/6, good to see him play well in his old position.

It is.

Yet another quality game. This is taking me back to the early years of Super Rugby and the NPC when I was a kid... matches with intensity during the round robin phase. ... Super Rugby born again? This year has seen a marked improvement. Even the ‘tahs v Brumbies game was entertaining, if only to se...

Perhaps. But even up here in Qld we’ve been aware it’s been a tad farken wet In Sydney recently.

Those aren't options. Those are all penalties. How about the ref plays to the rules? None of those things are penalties. Into touch would be a defending lineout, and over the line would be a dropout. They chose badly and conceded a try. Once it's called tackle all players must release. If you keep ...

MungoMan

The ref called tackle, the players were static, and then when the Highlanders started to release the ref allowed the Crusaders prop to join the players as if it was a maul and drive them 2m so the Crusaders player could go over the line. All sides must release the tackled player once tackle is call...

That's harsh Gus No. It's fúcken ridiculous. A n gus didn't find a penalty there so there were three options under the laws, depending on what actually was happening. The player was considered tackled (i.e. a knee on the ground). A maul had ended the tackle. There was neither a tackle or a maul. On...

I hope someone says something and one team changes shirts at half time.
I hope both teams set themselves alight at half time.

Fúck 'em.
That would definitely be interesting

It would get folk talking about rugby. Not a bad thing, that.

Fúck me dead but, as the round draws to a close, I am thoroughly tired of seeing alternative strips in various shades of blue, grey/black and white.

Good post Thanks. The Russians had a taste of democracy in the 90s and it was a disastrous time for the people. Putin restored order and the economy. People in the west underestimate his popularity there. Yes, they had a taste of democracy but they also had a three course meal of lawless chaos. Put...

MungoMan

Brilliant game, don’t understand the tap and go over a scrum at the end though, 8 off the base always in front of the 5 line. Taps always seem behind. Risk aversion seems the likely reason. It's easier to stuff up a scrum / get penalised for a bullshit reason than stuff up a tap in the first phase.

MungoMan

Watching both teams warm up, the amount of balls passed that are just not accurate… it’s no wonder we never win the bledisoloe. Haven’t been to a Reds game this year but I’m sure it holds true there also. Skills are f**ked. Yeah, it's a bit that way. Watching Strayan RL vis-a-vis Strayan RU is a ta...

MungoMan

The ridiculous rules of rugby are making it almost unwatchable at times. The defending players are holding a player up who is on his feet just meters from the line, they're told "It's a tackle, release!" They release him and he flops over for a try. An absolutely pathetic spectacle! I've had a guts...

You're saying the Tahs are rubbish?

Not just shanky. Everybody and their uncle.

I could not possibly comment on the accuracy of that right now but will have a better idea in a few hours time.

Fúck! I wanted the 'canes to win that.

Great game, but. Utterly absorbing.

Is it possible to shut some Brumbies supporters up ?

I like scrums too, and agree with the posters saying that fewer scrums is not indicative necessarily of a better game. Maybe someone more clued into modern front row play than me could explain why hookers don't seem to be able to strike any more . I would have thought a way to make scrums more effe...

It is a shame and a disgrace that this magnificent phenomenon remains, quite literally, out of reach for those of us remaining in certain places.

Bigger crowds at Suncorp tend to be at games with more local / travelling supporters for the oppo.

Not really the case for the Rebels, unfortunately.

Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum.
