@stargazer Mitch Hunt's got a bit of dramatic flair!

[Stargazer]

Haven't seen the first 35 minutes of the first half, but the half time score says it all:

Sunwolves 17 - Waratahs 38

The Sunwolves don't belong in this competition.

[Duluth]

Little had a 70m individual break to set up a try. Should be in the Blues squad..

[Steven Harris]

@duluth Little has been great value for the Sunwolves,just a shame every time they have made a mistake,they have been punished,
Agree with your coms about not being in the Blues.

[Stargazer]

Geez, the Reds just got robbed. Ref rules knock-on by Reds player, but it was slapped backwards by Pockock. Try should have been awarded. Brumbies lead 24 - 18 with 20 minutes to go.

[antipodean]

Ben O'Keefe has fucked the Reds hard core in this game.

[Stargazer]

FT: Brumbies 45 - 21 Reds

Yea but it's the Reds so fuck 'em

[Stargazer]

Ben Lam and Ricky Riccitelli have re-signed with the Hurricanes.

Lam, 26, has signed a two-year extension beyond the 2018 season while Riccitelli, 23, has committed to the end of 2021.

Exciting pair extend their time with the Hurricanes

[Bones]

Oh so the Bulls just downed the Sharks 40-10.

[taniwharugby]

@bones haha wtf....a result surely die hard Bulls fans didn't even see coming?

[Bones]

@taniwharugby I think the sharks didn't even score in the second half. And were out of the game before half time.

[African Monkey]

The only time the Sharks have performed this year is against NZ teams.

[taniwharugby]

@african-monkey well yeah kinda thought after the tour to NZ they might get past the Bulls who haven't looked great

[Stargazer]

[Machpants]

Only two points separates 14th from 8th, pretty close in the bottom half!

[taniwharugby]

Bulls 'upset' the Rebels 28-10
Sharks beat the Stormers 24-17

[Chris B.]

Pretty much halfway through the competition.

Be reasonable to assume teams are going to need around 38 points to make the play-offs - and that NZ is going to have four teams in the play-offs (unless someone falls apart).
