Waratahs v Blues
-
@KiwiMurph he’s had plenty of opportunities with the Crusaders, also looked fairly average for Canterbury. Has never jumped out as being even close to AB level.

Well he hasn't at 10 that's just not true. Mo'unga has had mortgage on the Crusaders 10 shirt.

How do we rate the NZ coaching depth at the moment outside the ABs setup? Seems the ABs new coaching group may have hurt the super teams in the short term.

Our talent overall isn't great either. Lots of very average players playing SR.

He’s had 39 appearances for the Crusaders and there were periods when Mo’unga was out for weeks on end. Burke has played enough Super Rugby for us to know he’s no way near an AB ten. That might change but I doubt it because he just seems like another Cameron. Solid without any x-factor.

Compared to the current batch he is probably as close as he has ever been

There's something comforting in seeing Sotutu developing the same grandad walk as Ardie
Funny that Ardie’s had that since school days. Always looks in pain aye.

Papali'i has had a huge night so far.

So has his opposite to be fair.

I’ve watched the two previous games today and this half and the officiating of the ruck has been so different, you’d almost think they were three different sports.
This guy is so quick to blow the whistle, whereas in the Drua/Chiefs match, the player over the ball had to have at least in grasp before the whistle blew.
I get the whole playing to the ref and planning for it, but I don’t think it’s too hard to ask for the same competition to have something that resembles consistency in ruck interpretation.

@ACT-Crusader Apparently he was a sevens ref.

As all the really shit ones were - they've no feel for XVs. Ravashitne being a prime example.

Terrible pass from Eklund off the back of the lineout. To think Riccitelli is the form hooker.

That try won't stand with Sotutu taking out a defender.
