Match thread

NTA

I'm sitting in bed at home, recovering from whatever the fuck illness this is 🤣

A mate over from NZ along with 3 guys from my Rugby club are at the stadium having spent an afternoon getting to know each other over a beer. To say I'm pissed off and jealous doesn't even cut it

NTA

Gregan would be jealous of Teddy Wilson's retreat-passing

NTA

Lambert binding too low

NTA

Great ball. Poor defence

NTA

TBH let them beat you on the outside. Don't give them anything up the guts

sparky

@NTA Get well soon.

Cheers.

Worst fucking week after the planning I did 🤣

But at least I don't miss a weekend off organising club Rugby

That sort of timing is important. I think Farrell Snr would be best served trying to use established, effective combinations.

For the Australian supporters, you hope he puts together players who have almost no experience playing with each other.

NTA

Tahs fail to convert territory and that might be their best chance of the night

NTA

Tahs scrum going to custard. No surprise with Amatosero in the second row.

Picture painted for Williams. And as he knows nothing about rugby to start with, he will stick with it

NTA

Fucking GREAT defence boys

Duluth

Tahs defence was better than I was expecting there. Good effort in the maul too

I'm actually shocked at the maul defence, but then I heard rumours the coach lit a fire under a few guys after our shit season.

McKellar is an angry looking man tattooed in the body of a librarian

NTA

Bowen is shit. Living off his old man's reputation

antipodean

I'd like to see these refs acknowledge that the NH teams cheat tremendously at rucks and are near constantly offside.

NTA

The crowd announcer can fuck off

NTA

Charlie muthafkn Gamble. Looks at the ref, gets the go ahead, takes it

NTA

Earls just isn't that smart

Duluth

Wow. Great 5 mins from Gamble

NTA

Let's go back to one eyed local refs. Adds more flavour

NTA

Fuck yeah. Got a TMO interruption for that???

Darth Sader

I was waiting for the TMO to find something… oh here we go

Canes4life

Oh ffs. This is destroying the game. TMO interference is a fucking disgrace.

Darth Sader

Don’t blame the crowd… you could find something resembling ‘foul play’ in every play if you slow it down enough. Good reffing.

antipodean

The game is being ruined by this bullshit. Fuck the TMO off.

How does anyone think this brings the crowd to the stadium?

Darth Sader

Fuck off TMOs you’re ruining the game

NTA

Kiwi TMO fucking an Aussie team in Sydney
Aussie TMO fucking a Kiwi team in Dunedin

Strange world we live in

Toddy

This is comical now

MajorStokes

Williams, you da man.

Tell the TMO if it’s not clear, obvious snd 100% to fuck of out of it.

Tonight the officials seem corrupt!

It seems to get worse when northern teams are involved… it’s like they’re trying to impress their WR paymasters

MajorStokes

Lions <<<<< sum of parts
Tahs >>>>> sum of parts

Ground announcer. STFU.

Nepia

I just watched that fat fuck Tupou for the last 5 minutes, did nothing outside of trying for an intercept and making a tackle because the dude ran straight into him.

MajorStokes

@Nepia I’ve been watching him tonight too.

Done some very very impressive ruck leaning.
