    Don’t understand all the fuss about this one. Chiefs blew it, Saders hung in there and found a way. Love me some Brer O’Keefe. Just a shame he won’t be able to ref the RWC final.

    Who would he favour then France or Ireland?

    There were two "shockers" by the ref tonight. ALB should have gotten a red, which would have had a major impact on the game, and a missed forward pass several phases before a try was scored, which would have had a marginal impact on the match at the time.

    All of the rest were pretty normal ruby calls, nothing to call the WAHHHHHHHHAMBULANCE about.

    You can't blame the red card on BOK. What the TMO was thinking is a different matter!

    To get some idea of the impact of the forward pass, recall that Jesters went from conceding try to penalty on half way. Even Bryn Hall on RPA acknowledged that (correctly I might add) saved the game for Jesters.

    How did Bryn Hall know what was going to happen from that point on? Is he some sort of time traveller?

    If he is, he should've spent more time as a young bloke practising his passing...

    @Nevorian Could see him getting the France game in the semis. Barnes is the obvious choice for the final and he won’t have to worry about England being there.

    If we had Bryn Hall playing we would’ve won by more.

    That statement is a reflection on Drummond.

    I'm not going to let this one slide. Why do you think Barnes is the obvious choice?

    I'd rank him about 5th. Plenty I'd put above him.

    Luke Pearce is the best NH ref by a mile.

    'Brer O'Keefe' sounds vaguely of Irish origin so...

    I didn't realise Cane never fronted the press conference afterwards. Appears pretty gutless unless he had genuine reason to skip it.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/opinion/300914202/mark-reason-referee-ben-okeeffe-played-a-blinder-and-we-should-all-shake-his-hand

    I read that article and I think he summed it up well.

    I agreed with just about everything Reason says, which is unusual for me.

    This have been such an entertaining thread.
    The crusaders won because they scored the most points. So they were the best team on the field on Saturday. We are the super rugby champions. Which means we are the best team in the competition.
    I love Parkman’s posts. Love how you call us the jesters. No idea what that means.
    Love kiwiexpat as well. You guys can say whatever you want about what happened on the field. Do you remember every decision right or wrong in every final in our seven titles. No of course not. Just like after we win the next three , no one will remember about these decisions in this final.
    Keep your chins up boys.

    Yes but as Reason wrote this I did have a bit of a chuckle:

    "I am sick of the whinging and moaning and grizzling that goes on in New Zealand every time..."

    In every Reason article I have read there is whinging, moaning, and grizzling...

    @MajorRage Just because he’s expected to retire after. Not an evaluation of him.

    @antipodean sure is. I said at the start of the season that Hall was a big loss given how he had played for us. Drummond played a lot better in the last month, but there’s still a number of things that frustrate me about his play.

    Foster reiterated it was McMillan's call to not let Cane or Weber join him for the post-game interview.
    
    “Clayton made a decision to go in by himself,” Foster added. “So can't really see what the issue is with it.”

    Surely Hotham to overtake him next year? Is your high priced English superstar reserve halfback going to play again next year?

    Wonder why the good young halfbacks are coming out of the Waikato these days? Roigard, Hotham and Ratima all look to be potential ABs (although Ratima suffered a bit of second season syndrome this year).

    Blues did show interest in Ratima I was told a while back but that's as far it's gone at this stage I understand not sure outside Christie what other 9s contract status is with blues Nock? And Funaki ?
