Well deserved with that second half performance.

Strangled the Brumbies.

Yep. Fuck them

[Gunner]

Kafer is a knob.
Yep the Canes scrum is iffy, but there is nothing wrong with their lineout.

TJP all class giving Lelifano raps on his return

[Stargazer]

Nice words from TJ there, congratulating Christian Leali'ifano on his return!

Who would want Cheikas job about now.

He deserves it.

Was the brumbies captain thanking all of the fans watching at home? He can't have been referring to the fans at the ground because They were barely there! LOL

Yup, much improved 2nd half. Dominated them across the park, just execution and some option taking letting us down. But we mostly kept our heads. Hopefully take some learnings from that for the semi.

Some credit to the Brumbies, they fought bloody hard and managed to keep the floodgates mostly closed with some pretty gritty defense. But as has been discussed, they are not a finals quality team this year so should not have been in this position to begin with.

Biggest highlights for me was Coles finally returning and immediately showing form, and Lealiifano getting on the field and playing well. Great stuff.

I wonder if we just saw how the Bled cup will go down. Would not surprise me in the least.

A young Chieka shows his problems began early

The Leilafano comeback is the only redeeming feature of these turds making the finals . Great to see him not only beat cancer but also play top level rugby again .

Anyone who faces up to the dirty cancer and wins deserves a round of applause

Impressive 2nd half Canes.

Thought Jordie was the more impressive Barrett. Not for the first time this season.

Dane Coles is a freak.

Hawera is from the jewel of the South Invercargill!

Remember Tim Manawatu who played for pretty much everyone but Manawatu?

Larkham is proud of the Brumbies' whole season. Sounds like he has pretty low standards.
