@bovidae Blues will be stoked not to get Nic Berry.

I'm pretty happy that the Canes also get a kiwi ref on Aussie soil.

The Chiefs must have done something extremely bad to warrant getting the lineup of officials listed above.

Righteous and deserved punishment for being shit and losing to an Ozzie team

[Machpants]

^ I'm wondering how well that will age, as a Canes supporter ...

[Siam]

@machpants i giggled then immediately gulped upon learning the chiefs had soiled our NZ clean sheet.

There but for the grace of God go I....

oh wow. Dreaded!

"Force activate dreaded 'black-level contact' in training" https://amp.rugbypass.com/news/force-hoald-dreaded-black-level-contact-training-session/

Haha yeah it made me curious. I do like the irony of it too, their defence was so shit against the canes, that the coach decides he will initiate black level! Fuck!! Oh but all that means is that they're going to unleash said shit defence on each other?

Oh.

[Mackerzzzz]

So.... black level training ay...

So you play shit on the weekend, so why not basically play another game in training, so every body is exhausted for the next game.

Yeah that'll work...

That is hideous.
Is that boat sailing down Lake Burley Griffin?

[Tim]

God damn those are awful.

[mariner4life]

i am pretty sure that is the worst jersey i have ever seen. Yes, even worse than the Waikato NPC one

a fucking picture on the front of a rugby jersey? hilarious

at least Australian Rugby can recognise it's player base. While the NRL and AFL are in the middle of indigenous round, Aussie Rugby is giving a shout out to the Pacific Islands, the source of 65% of all rugby players in this country.

Jervis Bay used to be their 'Danzig'. During WWI they annexed it (jawohl, I am not making this up) and controlled it as a sea port until just before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Is that a scene from the film Moana on the front of the jersey?

That fellow doesn't look sufficiently, shall we say, 'stout'.

[Stargazer]

@kiap I have no idea haha.

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer ha that was my thought, maybe one of the original sketches!
