"Super Rugby would be better off with Quade playing in it - but in Australia not in New Zealand."
Booooooo!
@mick-gold-coast-qld He'd be better than Lealiifano.

Brumbies to retain decidedly mediocre player:
@tim aren't a lot of options in Canberra. A player that's willing to come would be accepted with open arms. Especially one with Test experience.

True on so many levels.
Lots of roundabouts though

SANZAAR has announced the referee appointment for the Super Rugby Final. In line with match official selections for the tournament the selection of the match referees for the Finals Series have been merit-based and have included input from the team head coaches. Angus Gardner has been appointed to referee the Super Rugby Final on Saturday 4 August. It is his maiden Super Rugby Final appointment and is reward for his high quality performances throughout the season. The participating teams and the venue for the Final will be determined this weekend following the completion of the semi-finals. -

Not just because he's a good ref, but also because he was thrown under the bus by the WR judiciary a month ago.

@stargazer Surely that was an independent judiciary, not WR? That's the point, bunch of so called experts (Ozzies players from ages ago) no have no idea.

@machpants Yes, independent, but appointed by WR, hence, WR judiciary (as opposed to Sanzaar appointed judiciary).

Gibson has been very lucky to survive in previous years. The Tahs have certainly improved since he took over defence responsibilities from Nathan Grey.

Gibson actually wanted a 1 year deal instead of a 2 year deal. Both Gibson and Tana will be gone in 12 months time.

The good news is the Tahs have secured Chris Whitaker as an assistant coach next year. So hopefully Phipps will improve!

The Jaguares have a new head coach: former Argentina international Gonzalo Quesada

A couple of weeks in Auckland should remove all traces of integrity from his system then he can poach away.

Leon MacDonald's soon to be ex boss, begs him to have no integrity and half arse it at his new job
@duluth he'd not be doing his Blues job properly if he identified players in the Crusaders academy that would fill gaps at the Blues and chose to do nothing.
