@KiwiMurph that looks suspiciously like public, honest critiques of players. Surely that isn't allowed?

Who’s the NZ equivalent of Dutton

Surely no such beast exists.

We created a Barnaby so surely we have the capacity for a Dutton!

No we didn't

By we, I meant the Hooroo whanau.

[Stargazer]

Geez, Brumbies, how many try scoring opportunities have you butchered in those first 22 minutes? Still no score.

[Tim]

Brumbies just blew an overlap on the try line, due to playing in slow motion.

[Tim]

nil all after 36 minutes. Odd for a preason game. Last ruck penalty to the Force was bullshit.

[Stargazer]

Two tries to Kahui. The Aussie commentators still can't pronounce his name.

[antipodean]

It's boring sitting here. Brumbies are ineffectual at anything not set piece.

[KiwiMurph]

[antipodean]

I don't know how obvious it was to anyone watching footage, but the Brumbies backline offered nothing on attack. Almost no variation in lines and correspondingly very little penetration.

They remain a team whose major threat is their competence in mauling.

Also the Force looked vastly more competitive with Kahui at second five-eighth.

This is the new channel Nein ad. Quite good.

@NTA pretty good up until the last line

"And Stan Sport"?

[Kiwiwomble]

@NTA yeah, its quite offensive

no "the game played in heaven", which yes, is not the last line, but the last one before the "facts"

The branding used here for decades, so why change? 😉

@NTA really? never heard that before, my bad

Matt Toomua and Reece Hodge were on the Australian Open Tennis coverage this morning doing some sort of serve challenge.

Channel Nein are flogging this Rugby union thing, which is great.

Pretty awesome to find a tahs try that wasn't a rolling maul.
