Re: OFFICIAL" Reds are too lazy to start a Chiefs thread" thread
Great to see the Reds muscle out an inspiring victory at the end. Our whole backline played like loose forwards to disrupt the dangerous Chiefs attack, and our forwards stayed strong from start to finish.

Great to see our Maori brothers and sisters out in force in Brisbane to stand against anti-semitism and send the Hamas Hate Brigade a 'you won't pass here' message. It brought tears to my eyes - the All Blacks are now my 2nd team forever!

Re: How Can the Wallabys Win Back the Bledisloe?
You must resist your tiny attention span and realise the Wallabies are still alive in this World Cup and could go a long ways if only Portugal do the right thing and beat Fiji by 8 or more. Australia were very sharp against a classy Portuguese side, and I look forward to seeing more of the same.

Re: Super Rugby SF2 - Chiefs Vs Brumbies
Berry's refereeing in this defies belief: 1st half he misses a yellow card, then the Chiefs have hands in a Brumbies ruck 10 metres out from their own line, and are awarded a penalty for it!
Looks like the Bs will have to beat the ref as well to win this.
