SF Chiefs v Brumbies
-
Carter would be a bit of a like-for-like replacement for Clarke. Good under the high ball, always takes a run-first approach - which means he sometimes dies with the ball but he also goes into contact fully intent on breaking through the tackle. Not sure he'll make the All Blacks but he would deserve a call-up.

What’s he like at falling over for no reason?

McAllister putting his hand up too. Be nice to see teams other than the crusaders get bench players selected.
Beaudie will be on the bench.
Nah DMac is clearly the superior player, so I can't see him even making the 23. BB to start at ten.

Great minds...

What's Tupou supposed to do there? He's not tackling, he gets the player knocked into him. Not foul play.
Nah. Just got to get lower or pull out of it if you think the other tackler has him.
In real time he's on a hiding to nothing - the attacker is literally bounced into him so he has no time to react. What should just be a penalty is turned into a ludicrous YC on review, so a referee deemed too shit to be an AR could upgrade it to a RC.

Carter went off his feet there…..
A room full of Brumbies supporters agreed with you.

Brumbies lineout has been poor.
And leniently ruled by Berry - a number of contested lineouts that should have been penalised he let play despite going to the outside shoulder.

Finau playing well
Stands out when his team is on top.
Other times, not so much.Perhaps his team is on top when he stands out. He had a very good game tonight.

Cracking semi-final
Both teams came to play
As well as Cortez played I thought Roe made a huge difference when he came on

Rugby can be exciting when they aren't playing force back and the ref isn't taking over
That for me is Rugby's biggest problem.
Which young person is ever going to pay to watch three middle-aged blokes have a lengthy conversion about some technicality between themselves while thirty athletes have a breather in the background?
World Rugby are insane if they don't realise that pompous "superstar refs" are killing their product.
Wayne Barnes writing a book tells you all you need to know about the state of the game.
