Can we safely say the Saders chance for the final 8 are gone?
No.
Two wins and the Drua not getting points and they get there.
Nuts eh

Ironically even if that happened Drua would have 5 wins and Crusaders would have 4

@Bones I thought it was a penalty try, Strange denied the Brumbies chaser a chance to get there by doing something completely illegal. A dumb play.
Watch the replay and what the chaser was trying to do (hint: he wasn't trying to catch it)
-
I don't think it was likely the Brumby would have caught it even if Strange. He may have but if I was a betting man I reckon he wouldn't.
On that basis I don't agree with the call. However can't argue with it too strongly either.
-
How thrilled would you be to have a teammate cost you the game doing something so dumb?

Now THAT is a ( cheaply and quickly made but still very funny and effective ) Sports Meme !

Just been leaked to me that Quinten Strange has been approached by the One New Zealand Warriors to swap codes effective immediately.

SBW did the same thing against France. Unfortunately the outcome was the same.
Strange looked at the ref as if it was the first time he heard the law. As soon as I saw it I realised what was next

Good to see Hotham starting to grow into a Super Level halfback. Still a way to go for the kid but over the last few games I think he has showed promise.

@Crazy-Horse He's looking very good after a shaky start to the season. His running game has been very good.
Drummond can't even get a run off the bench these days.
-
Only one outcome from the Strange brainfart.
Two things stand out from this match which seem to highlight the problems the team is having. When Strange didn't catch a high pass in midfield, he threw his hands in the air in frustration, and started walking with his hands on his hips. WTF? This isn't club rugby. Where is the attitude?
Second, Crusaders scrum on top going towards the Brumbies tryline and they release the ball. WTF? There is a serious lack of decision-making in this team. -

Could be wrong, but isn't foul play in the in-goal area immediately just a penalty try?
Foul play to stop a try, regardless of whether a try would have been scored, is surely exactly what the first part of the sentence is, which by any measure should be a penalty try?

@frugby Yes I did think that too, but was being told otherwise, so who knows haha.

@nzzp He had to release or reach out.
Why does he have to release when he was never held

But he never got back to his feet. He was OK to stand up, but not propel himself forward on the ground.
