Canterbury v Auckland

@taniwharugby said in Canterbury v Auckland:

@Daffy-Jaffy but Waikato beat both of them, which is the 1st decider on tie breaks

I thought points diff was?

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader hardly fair if you have been beaten by a team on same points....these are apparently the rules

@Tim said in NPC - Premiership remaining matches:

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim lmao you're as bad as the cantabs mate. I don't doubt it'll be tough for Waikato, but be realistic.

Happy to eat my words if I'm wrong.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah You were complaining about the number of Blues in the ABs yesterday. Back in your pen.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim yeah I was drunk as fuck and posted it to get a reaction out of you Blues fans. By my "pen", do you mean the pen of my team being able to beat a trash Canterbury team?

[ACT Crusader]

@taniwharugby so why did Taranaki finish ahead of Northland, given same competition points and the Taniwha won the head to head?

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah I mean the pen for the bottom qualifiers.

@bayimports ,I know , how crazy , to be honest I have enjoyed watching the Mitre 10 cup more than following the All Blacks ..I think of all those Fringe players Foster pulled out of the comp ..for What..?.somebody to hold a hit shield , like that’s worked out really well ..🤦‍♂️

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader yeah we won the head to head, so we head to Otago next week, they get HB again

edit: the table doesnt show it like that, it just shows points diff (they mentioned in the Cant-Akl game the semi times which confirmed the M10 table shows wrong)

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim yeah and Auckland won what? One more game than Waikato? Impressive stuff mate.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah Had a pretty good win at Eden Park against some rabble from Hamilton, IIRC.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim yeah then you lost to Canterbury who Waikato beat.

Come on bro, I know there’s a pile on for ol’ Fozzie, but given the unique circumstances of the Bledisloe and RC and the fact we couldn’t fly anyone over to Oz during the comp, extra resources for the AB camp/squad was going to occur.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah In a dead rubber with a rotation team. Try to keep up.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim lmao what a fucking excuse. Good stuff.

@Yeetyaah

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim you're priceless

Have to disagree mate. With Covid and the travel restrictions etc, a big squad was needed. Look at Australia and Argentina, they have similar size squads and SA were going to do something similar before they pulled out.

@akan004 I am at the stage , where everything thing is so geared and molly coddled around the ABs , and every other level is compromised I really don’t give a damn, I am far more engaged with Mitre 10 and Super Rugby ..still have not seen the Puma test ..

I can understand the NPC, but being engaged with franchise teams over the ABs just seems weird to me.

Slight diversion, couldn't you find two more bloody points Auckland? The rest of us would have thrown you a parade!
