Highlanders v Rebels
-
Gee the official is living rent free in the heads of couple of posters ..sometimes you have to look at the performance of your own team ..Williams is not my favourite official,but he’s nowhere as pedantic as Brendon Pickerall..people forget you have 4 officials on the field ..if your main takeaway from this game is the official you actually missed a good contest ..
-
That might very well be it for the Landers unless two of the Blues, Crusaders and Hurricanes turn to shit in the last two rounds.

@steven-harris problem is it's a running theme through the whole comp. Which is supposed to be the future of pacific rugby blah blah.

@steven-harris don’t think anyone has claimed it was the main takeaway :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:
And “there are worse” is a pretty low bar

@canes4life I’d say you might be right, two dropped bonus points in two weeks

@kiwiwomble crazy to think that the Landers will most likely go unbeaten but won't make the final.

@canes4life don’t know about most likely...we’re talking about the highlanders here...but possible

I've given up caring about a competition where you can comfortably win every one of your matches and not be in contention for a final.
This is a pretend comp. -

@kiwiwomble nah they are far better than all the Aus teams, should smash the Tahs next week and then but away a tired Brumbies outfit.

This is a pretend comp.@siam welcome to a covid world. I'm sure we will see plenty of these micky mouse comps going forward but I guess everyone knew that going into it.

@siam To use a netball terms ,it’s a bit like the constellation cup ,it not really the World Cup
-
Well done everyone involved for getting this game to happen.
That Toomua head high direct contact was as bad or worse than Dmac's. If only the big screen in Townsville was on the blink the chiefs would have won
We'll take the win, if not all the money - job done

They have the Brumbies at home so still have one tough game. As do the Canes next week I think. The Blues also have the Reds at home.
Right now, I'd still bet that the Saders will final, because Saders, but it would be fun if it were the Blues and Canes. I don't see both teams getting out of both of their remaining games with bonus points victories though.

Bloody happy for Scott Gregory it’s fantastic not just to see him playing in the more familiar position of midfield but showing what a solid footballer he can be ,seems to be improving with every outing ,and up against a very good performer in Matt Toomua..made 2 or 3 very dominant tackles ..hoping we see him develop more in the 12 jersey for the Taniwha.,it’s a good story of redemption .

@gt12 Canes have Brumbies away in icey Canberra and then the Reds at home in the final round. I'm confident we can win both but not too sure about bonus points which could be our downfall.
Blues have Reds away and then Force at home. If they get away from Queensland with maximum points they will be in the final.
My head says a Blues vs Crusaders final at Eden Park but I hope it's a Blues vs Hurricanes final at Eden Park.

This is a pretend comp.Just another broken super Comp, like when nz teams with more points than Aussie ones missed out on finals or home finals because if the conference’s
Or when the sharks made the final without playing the two best nz team
