Fantastic 40 20

A what?

The rugby version. What he nailed.

I got nothing. Rugby version? They're playing rugby?

32nd minute kicked a 50/22.

Oh. What is a 40-20?

Edit. Ah, Google says League

@Machpants dude let it go. I have come home after a few beers to watch this. I got the terminology incorrect. Fixed it in a later post. Stop getting on a spectrum buzz.

@Duluth Love is the one playing tonight so that suggests he’s better / rated higher.

He’s been classy tonight setting up two tries.

It was a genuine question which Google answered, apologies for my denseness

[Canes4life]

Proctor in for 4. Showing why he was the Canes player of the year.

Weber asleep there

Yeah Zarn Sullivan ain’t better than Love. How good was that.

Zarn is better

Zarn or Reuben? Important thing for me is we have 2 up and coming talents getting international experience playing alongside experienced Test players. Love the AB XV concept.

[SouthernMann]

@Victor-Meldrew bang on. This is a concept where we celebrate the good things. Let the coaches iron out the fuck ups.

[Machpants]

Man it looks hot out there

[Canes4life]

Looks like Love is injured. Hopefully that isn’t his calf again that’s plagued him all year.

[SouthernMann]

@Canes4life yeah still has a full season ahead for Wellington.

[Canes4life]

@SouthernMann he’s been replaced by Gilbert. Hopefully nothing major as we’ve already lost Perenara.

Ref had gone total French bullshit in this game. Akira smashes someone, must be s penalty. NZ smash them at the ruck calls not ruling to someone no where near

[Duluth]

Both NZ Hookers have struggled at the lineout

It will be fucking hot, I dunno about throwing in this weather.

It's fucking hot and horrible here and it's worse there.

Fully fuck playing rugby in this weather; honestly it's how people could fucking die.

What do people really see in Gilbert in the midfield. He looks like a bigger version of that guy who used to play for the Blues.

I've fully blanked on it. Played fullback and was slow, then looked okish in the midfield.

Actually, he's the opposite of Glibert.

Edit: @Duluth you took the piss out of him plenty, who am I talking about?

[Duluth]

@gt12 Collins, that’s harsh on Gilbert

That's it.

I think Gilbert is much better at FB than Collins, but Collins looked better in midfield than Gilbert.
