The Silver Fern

@ACT-Crusader Especially that offense.

The point that DH has been moved to yet another position and was at least as good in his first go as all of the other specialists in the squad says a lot.
Ist Five depth is not in a happy place in NZ at the moment .........but if they are all about the same it keeps things even.

I think Telea’s got a tight leg. He seemed unwilling to go into top gear.

@Landers92 Lol it's rich coming from Blues fans when we were in the same situation a few years back.

I thought he'd be a reds fan these days? Hence the re-emergence from nowhere and delight.

Geez what's happened to Havili's boot this year? His kicking reminds me of watching women's rugby a decade or so ago.

and also a complete humour vacuum beside me

Ken hell mate. Better hope the wife didn't sneak a peek over your shoulder.

Wife was at home. Jr on the other side.

Had stuck up twat who had no sense of humour on my left. Really pissed off we lost so didn't have the chance to be condescending.

Have to say, I woke up this morning still on a bit of a hugh after Canes match last night, they were very good I thought. Aumua is certainly making a point how he wants to play.
nd the 'Egg sandwich guy' scored the winning try, will have to send grandaughter a message!!

Hope hugh didn't mind - apologies couldn't resist

Why did they put a 'U nest to the I on keyboard, actually for clumcy pricks like me the letters should be about 1cm apart!!😠 😵‍💫

Impressive from McReight -

Cheating fucking Aussies.

@Bovidae said in Highlanders v Reds:

Super Rugby Pacific refereeing officials believe there was indeed foul play by the Highlanders in the tackle which broke the neck of Reds lock Connor Vest, but that it wasn’t Shannon Frizell at fault, and no yellow card was warranted.

I don't see a single quote admitting fault. Quality Stuff journalism again.

@ploughboy said in Chiefs v Reds:

interesting moli only got time when ryan had hia

I thought that maybe because they needed to hold someone back on bench, there were getting to be a lot of injuries in their forwards.

@NTA said in Reds v Waratahs:

Shine has come off Harry Wilson. Needs to pick his moments better.

He still has next to no footwork - he just trucks the ball up straight into contact.

Watched bits of this. Very puzzled by refereeing at the tackle. Reds had immunity to take out anyone and come in from any angle. I know many refs are now tolerant and rarely pull up attackers but I thought this was extreme. Commentary was a bit ott so I fast forwarded a lot. Interesting to see how Reds go v NZ teams with this tactic.

... 80 minutes of high-intensity rugby in front of more than 15,000 home supporters ...

Hard to believe there were that many.

80 minutes of high-intensity rugby

Hard to believe there was that much!
