@machpants lmao relax I'm just salty
Nah insulting someone who had put in a hundred for his province is beyond 'salty'

@machpants take it as offensive as you want, I'm happy for him that he's played 100, also not my team so why would I care a whole lot?
You don't need to care, but wanting sky not to show the celebration is pathetic.

@machpants I also want decent homegrown refs but you can't win then all. It was mainly to piss you guys off, seemed to have worked.
Cool, great life goals

Try being in our shoes the majority of the time mate, then you’ll know what salty is!
Stoked for Rene and the team, was a hell of a result considering the year we’ve had.

Well, pleasantly surprised with that.
Big old slice of humble pie to be eaten...2 of my least favorite players (Hawkins and Hohaia) stepped up tonight, sure they werent perfect, but they did a job, and had some nice touches along the way.
Olsen is a warrior, dude just keeps battling away, bit odd we lost those 3 lineouts in a row though, given I think when he played v Ta$man we won every one, and had won every one of his throws since too...I like big Corey, puts in some work, Li seems to go in an out of games, even scrums looks shit then mans up for a few and looks rock solid
Gooodhue and Caird are a formiddable locking duo, both in the air and around the park, the energy is awesome!
Was concerned about Faukafa having never played 8 before (I dont think he played there in Prem rugby, so if he did, likely schoolboy stuff) but aside form one scrum when we were under pressure if he'd been quicker to get the ball, I thought he did fine, is a strong carrier too, worth persisitng with the big fella (maybe at 6)
Pryor was prominant as always, Macnamara is a bit quieter, playing a bit tight I think.
Nock was very good, showing he is up there at this level, just needs to take his chances at super level better
Solid game by Dan, just played the pivot role really, got smoked carting the ball up a couple of times, but that is one thing I have always maintained about him, he is a tough buggar, so wasnt phased - not sure of that 1st half tactic both he and Reihana (as dual pivots) employed where we ran 2 or 3 phases in thier half then the 10 dropped back to poke a kick through, didnt look like they were going for that stupid new play.
Hohaia, still busts out of the line too often for my liking, but nice floating pass and a nice angled run for his score.
Rooster, what away to bring up your ton, wound back the years tonight!!!
Macilai, another one that wound back the years, so strong in contact, still has nice acceleration too!!
Reihaha was solid at the back, ran it back with purpose, not really tested on defence this week.
Pisi, couple of nice runs, he looks good enough going forward, but really struggles on defence too often for me, would hope that can be coached...
Mau'u with a nice cameo off the bench, JUstin Davies not looking out of place.
A bye next week, and you'd think we must just about have everyone back on board after that??
