Choat is out with a calf injury. Segner replaces him on the bench

Ponies mail isn’t as good this year. Reds probably best in Oz.

Shopping in Canberra isn't as good as Brisbane. Noted.

Farking predictive text. Changed it from mail and it changed it back!👹

You’d expect a better crowd with where the Blues are sitting on the table. Looks like there’s hardly any one there.

[KiwiMurph]

@Canes4life Been shit weather all day and Auckland is a Warriors town now.

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph a worry for the Blues. All those bandwagon Wahs fans.

[Gunner]

What about the round the neck tackle on Ricitelli just before the knock on?

[Bones]

What the hell kind of free kick option was that?

It's a bigger worry than the Blues. The crowds in the comp witht the odd exception are abysmal.

[Gunner]

He let the bloody ball go, tackle over, surely?

No wonder super rugby can’t get decent crowds, the rules are so bloody confusing.

[Bones]

I'd have Plummer in the frame for AB ten ahead of Perofeta based on last year and this year.

Really reliable player.

There's an offside line at the tackle.

[African Monkey]

@Canes4life Got that right haha.

Yea but surely the tackle is over when he passes the ball back, and therefore the offside line is no more?

[Gunner]

Nice try.

Loving the Blues forwards grunt work.

[Canes4life]

Nice try Blues, good hard yaka.

[KiwiMurph]

Cotter's work with the forwards is impressive

No, you still need to get onside. The act of placing the ball doesn't change the fact you're offside. The same way if it went to hand he couldn't tackle from behind unless the subsequent Brumbies player had run with it or passed it.

Looked like Dalton was tackled and got up and went again

Yes he’s pretty steady, does the basics well with a low error rate with the added advantage on being able to play 12.
