Why didn't QLD kick it out?

Excellent game.

Should be a home final at Suncorp for Reds

[Stargazer]

The Brumbies' decision making was wrong. Should have tried a droppie. They had plenty of opportunity to do so. Didn't they trust their kicker?

[NTA]

@stargazer no imagination - thought they could get the penalty, and probably should have just before the hooter wherei reckon Wright slapped it away on the deck.

But fuck em

[Derpus]

cracking game. Really enjoyed it even without a dog in the fight. I thought execution was strong across the park from both sides.

[KiwiMurph]

Reds young centre Flook is a good prospect.

[Stargazer]

I think both these teams will challenge the NZ teams. I expect them to be in the SR T-T top 4.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer it's a straight final format though.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Not sure what's wrong with what I'm saying. I think they could finish anywhere from place 1 to 4 after the round robin. So it could be either a NZ team v Aussie team final; a two NZ teams final; or a Reds-Brumbies final.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer well sure but the format would seemingly disadvantages the Reds and Brumbies on paper. The Reds and Brumbies look more than a match for the kiwi sides but the Force and Tahs look weaker than the weakest NZ teams so easier for nz sides to rack up wins.

[Derpus]

@kiwimurph Tahs certainly do. Not sure about the Force though. Think they could surprise.

Points are carried through from Super Rugby AU and Super Rugby Aotearoa into Super Rugby TT, so Reds are well on top to host the final of that as well. Reds are on 32 points with one more game to play. Crusaders are on 18 with 3 more to play.
