    What is all this ostentatious praying business after a rugby game? Spare us from this Pentecostalist American BS. Keep it in your churches

      @Tim said in Blues v Highlanders:

      Landers up to 24 pts, level with the Reds (7th equal). Blues up to 46 pts, 5 ahead of the Brumbies.

      And the canes season will once again end in Canberra with an undersized forward pack, just for old times sake, eh Holland

      @Machpants This year's Brumbies look weaker than last year's.

        @His-Bobness Freedom of religion and freedom of expression. They can pray wherever they like. Who are they harming with it?

          Poor game. But a very gutsy display from the Landers

            Landers have been a really tough watch all season - don't deserve to be in the "finals" as a fan I sincerely hope we don't scrape in ....

            Blues certainly didn't put their best foot forward tonight ,, but they didn't need to either. Best of luck for the finals Blues

            @Mattasaurus With the limited talent you guys have at your disposal, you can be proud of the effort you guys put in. You guys made us look pretty ordinary out there tonight so you guys deserve a but of credit for that.

              Genius coaching by Leon. Build slow before finals and give nothing away about your strengths leading into finals. At all.
              Harmon was immense all match. Christie the polar opposite.
              Collected my cat from the vets and spent more time pampering her than watching the screen through the riveting defensive arm wrestle as described by the commentators. At least TJ can add 7 and get the right answer unlike his mate.

                Agreed.

                It’s not for me, but what they do or believe in has zero impact on my life…..

                    @Stargazer They can do whatever they like. I’m not advocating stopping them. I personally think it’s inappropriate and crassly American. Expressions of religious faith are best done in private. What it has to do with a bloody game of rugby I have no idea.

                        Didn't see much, but the silver lining has to be Segner coming out of his "shell". Seemed to be in everything and dominating.

                          @Mattasaurus Given your missing personal and the incredible weight of possesion and territory against the Landers i actually thought it was a gutsy effort , some really good defensive shifts put in , Jona Nareki and Scott Gregory who cops a bit on this forum was excellent including what turned out to be a try saver ,Harmon, Renton and Hicks i thought were solid and Aaron Smith still looks world class in a struggling team but i will say they needed a point of difference by bringing on Fakatava earlier and replacing Ainsley earlier .

                          Have no doubt the Blues would have had an eye on next week but in all honesty given the many red zone attacking positions , and when you consider the fire power from 13 out , the lack of basic creativety is alarming .
                          Love Tom Robinsons energy , his workrate is out the gate not always accurate but he will win his own ball at lineout time and he will compete on opposition ball , if he was playing in any other country i reckon he would be playing International Rugby

                                I’m in the “they can do as they like” camp but the problem lies with the TV producers seeking it out all the time.
                                Let them be.

                                  @Stargazer I grew up with them. With their strong family ties and natural socialist leanings, they’ve always been an easy target for exploitation by Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists and all the other American capitalist hucksters masquerading as religions.

                                      Not even slightly religaous myself, but is some choose to pray at end of game all power to them. Whatever makes them happy surely isn't something that bother me.
