@bones since when do we only limit our knowledge only what is in the thread....are the Reds suddenly the best team because they won the game mentioned in the match day thread?...weird dude
You're right! I think it's actually ok now, cos have you guys seen some of the shirts the darts guys wear? And at least it's not as atrocious as those gaaaaaay cycling tops.
Thanks for opening my eyes.

i am pretty sure that is the worst jersey i have ever seen. Yes, even worse than the Waikato NPC one
Go fuck yourself. Get a shield challenge you pot smoking boomer š

@kiwiwomble said in Super Rugby Trans Ta$man:
i honestly dont think its any worse than most of the Warriors "special" jerseys or any of the Marvel ones
I wouldn't buy it but it doesn't stand out amongst many other bad jerseys
I agree, this seems to be a weird Fern meltdown over a not great but not bad jersey.
Remember this existed and it was worn throughout the season:

Worth noting no NZ team has logged 5 competition points in the last 4 games.
Been a lot of rotation.

@stargazer think weāll have to defend better than we did tonight

@kiwiwomble The Highlanders have their game on Friday; so the Crusaders will know exactly what they need to do on Saturday.

I'm not too fussed about that eh, tahs haven't had too many issues putting points on other sides.
Would be crazy if we made the final.

Like I said in another thread, Aussie rugby is BACK.

just a general comment about the Trans Ta$man matches-is anyone else getting pissed at the CONTINUAL Australian tactic of lotering around behind a ruck after making a tackle, then wandering into the way of the halfback's potential pass. It happens ALL the time, and is blatant, but commentators are all missing it.
or is it just me, haha -
@bones said in Highlanders v Waratahs:
@wairau yeah it seemed pretty common in this game, they got away with it a bit, Hammington was constantly stepping over and around props.
And here I was thinking you'de be satisfied. When was the last time you had NINE meat pies?!

I am struggling with the officiating in this comp. The treatment of various things differs hugely between matches. TJs and TMOs only seem to look back when the travelling team scores and ignore clear knock ons or other infringements when it is the team playing nearest their home base. Commentators use of 'home team' really irked last night. Reds and Blues send out decoy runners and cleaners constantly and it is OK but they cracked down last night. Converse on head contact and diving head first into breakdown. Anything goes now. Really don't know how players cope at times when so many cards and penalty tries have been flying about recently. It also makes it hard to watch. I think the rule makers need to make things easier for referees and players. Or is the issue simply that our coaches cynically train players in the grey areas of the laws to see what they can get away with.

I hear this a bit but Iām not sure that is as simple as that given where the game is now. Weāve had ELVs and any number of NH and SH versions of different things. Given the size of players and the pro training and conditioning, the hits and collisions are harder than when the game seemed āsimplerā.

this without a doubt happens.
