Need to register though.

Though oddly the stream of the NZ game seems to still be running too and playing it. Could be a temp thing.

Already seeing the game is slower than the kiwi one

Need to pick a team to back here, to up the interest

I'll take the Reds as i think Nick White is a twat

I was about to pick the Brumbies but then yes good point.

But then again O Connor, so I’ll stick with Brumbies

Very meh game, Brumbies not having to work too hard to stop the Reds, Reds showing nothing in an attacking sense.

Might be worth a thread on its own but might teams now strategically select very short players to carry into very tall players?

Just watching that Brumbies yellow card.

Bloody awful game!

Should have taken the scrum, fecking idiots, man down with dominance already in the scrum...brainless

At least it was an exciting finish

Absolutely cretinous; if you did it in a under-8s you'd be balled out of it.

Just watched "highlights" and perhaps Nick Berry could explain how Valetini head hit was not a red card.

Mate, you don't want to win a trophy with a penalty try to finish. Embarrassing. Getting the ball over is so much better.

Also, Alaalatoa is a wily customer, capable of dropping the scrum but ensuring a rookie oppo grounds first. Game ends on a bum note.

Even winning the 8 on 6 shove before the collapse again, that's a nothing outcome and the referee scores the winning try.

This was the biggest oz pro rugby game in ten years. You can't waste an opportunity like that on three and four resetting scrums.
