The other round 9 games

Highlights the joke of the conference set up where a team from Oz gets an automatic playoff place

Agent Gibson working a treat in Tahland

Yeah, it's a pity that Hammett didn't go to wasn't needed at the Reds or Brumbies as well

Holy shit. That's the game.

What further depths can the Aussie teams plumb?

Well they don't have to play the Sunwolves.

[Stargazer]

Can't believe this score, but the signs were there against the Force. The Kings are not as bad as last year, and like the Force, playing to make the point that they should be retained in SR. That seems to enable them to dig deep at the end of the game. Enough to beat a team like the Tahs.

Match of the round on here. Tahs v Kings. Kings to get the upset!

Called it.

TBF, Tahs are rubbish, so not much of an upset really.

[NTA]

Small crowd: justified.

On two levels: first it was the Kings, and Saffer teams NEVER draw in Sydney despite all the fucking Saffers living here. Secondly because the Tahs produce this rubbish.

Enjoy the flight home, Daryl. The next coach will be more shit as you've been, but he'll be OUR brand of shit. With all the right vowels n stuff.

I think his cover has been blown.

Perhaps we should have retained John Buchanan at NZ Cricket so that we could organize an exchange?

Who else have we got that we can swap? Maybe we could hand over the English agent, Reason?

[Damo]

I wonder when the board will declare their full support for Gibson?

[pukunui]

Cut the Tahs

Some time tomorrow, I expect. That's the point at which you pack your bags...

Season gone. Good timing - Subbies starts tomorrow so I'm up to my arse in club organisation.

[antipodean]

we just lost to a team that's so bad they're being kicked out of Super Rugby...

Maybe 3 teams should be cut from Oz so they can make 2 teams that can keep within 15 points.

[Gunner]

Oh dear.
Had to stop and think when I saw that headline.... nope not April 1.

[taniwharugby]

SARU Will change thier mind now about culling 2 teams....

[Siam]

Only saw the highlights package but no yellow card for Hooper at that penalty try?

Rohan Hoffmann

Possibly the most biased ref in the competition (since Stuart Berry was dropped).

Jesus H, deliberate professional foul that forces a penalty try, is about the most clear and objective law there is. He doesnt even have to make a judgement call.

The Lions snuck another win over the Jags so I wouldn't bet against them finishing top of the table. They need to win the 3 games in Aust and then their only difficult game left would be the Sharks in Durban in the last round. I am expecting the NZ teams will take points off eachother.
