Would love to have Papalii back next week ...

Yeah Choat hardly featured bar the yellow. Almost prefer they play two sixes with big red on side and Romano to start.

All good, top 2 teams from table in final. so not too much to argue about.

Yeetyaah

Weber ahead of Christie for the ABs.

Wow didn't expect that from you

Kirwan

And that’s why I never want Ben O’Thief reffing any of our games.

Oh shit I thought the Brumbies player was on his feet and over the ball there, ref didn't have the balls to call the penalty

Ben O’Keeffe (Auckland) being a tad biased there you think?

I'd be seething if I was a Brumbies fan

Only if they closed their eyes for the maul that led to their second try. Never would've happened, worst pile of shit I've seen for ages, brumbies had 4 players just joining in front of the ball carrier.

One of my hatiest things in rugby, but unfortunately it happens basically every game without being penalised.

NZRU will be loving it.

Two reasons I want the Blues to lose it.

Seeing Beauden win as a Blue is just yuck.
Won’t have to hear Kirwan gloat for the next year.

RTS has a mistake at a crucial moment in him every game.

@kev yeah he’s not an AB yet.

Tom Robinson was massive

Blues did everything but choke....

Maul rulings farcical.

Brumbies a little unlucky with that ruck late in the game... Thought that was a penalty to them..

Looking forward to a cracking final next week..
Blues will need to be on for the full 80 to stop them saders.

The Blues nearly found a way to lose that. I would pick Robinson as my MOTM.

I think his were nowhere near as bad as plenty of the other fuck ups in that half.

Tim

@Yeetyaah Not a fan of Weber, but he played well for the ABs last year, and Christie has been poor in the 2nd half recently. Indecision at the ruck, and kicking from the base not good enough.

We should have lost it. BOK saved us at the end.

Once again, Perofeta shows he’s a better tactical kicker than BB. I’d be keen to see him standing at 10 in latter stages.

Nick Berry or Ben okeef...
What a decision.....

Maybe Gardner?

Bovidae

As for O'Keeffe, the Brumbies got away with a clear truck and trailer before their 2nd try so they benefitted too.

Gardner likely to get the final.

Mauls and rucks. Players joining in front of ball carrier and spinning around the side of rucks.

Gotta admit it worries me slightly come the ABs how Barret will handle the suffocating Irish in regards to general play kicking. It was pretty dire in that second half.

I’m worried about our whole team against the Irish. Certainly not as confident as I normally would be.

It really pissed me off here, as they joined a metre in front of him. Not just in front, giving the ball carrier a little tap as they go in front, but miles in front. I'll be livid for a while about how bad that was refed
