All good, top 2 teams from table in final. so not too much to argue about.
NZRU will be loving it.
Two reasons I want the Blues to lose it.
- Seeing Beauden win as a Blue is just yuck.
- Won’t have to hear Kirwan gloat for the next year.
-
Tom Robinson was massive
Blues did everything but choke....
Maul rulings farcical.
Brumbies a little unlucky with that ruck late in the game... Thought that was a penalty to them..
Looking forward to a cracking final next week..
Blues will need to be on for the full 80 to stop them saders. -

And that’s why I never want Ben O’Thief reffing any of our games.
Nick Berry or Ben okeef...
What a decision.....Maybe Gardner?

Gotta admit it worries me slightly come the ABs how Barret will handle the suffocating Irish in regards to general play kicking. It was pretty sure in that second half.
I’m worried about our whole team against the Irish. Certainly not as confident as I normally would be.

Oh shit I thought the Brumbies player was on his feet and over the ball there, ref didn't have the balls to call the penalty
Ben O’Keeffe (Auckland) being a tad biased there you think?
I'd be seething if I was a Brumbies fan
Only if they closed their eyes for the maul that led to their second try. Never would've happened, worst pile of shit I've seen for ages, brumbies had 4 players just joining in front of the ball carrier.
One of my hatiest things in rugby, but unfortunately it happens basically every game without being penalised.
It really pissed me off here, as they joined a metre in front of him. Not just in front, giving the ball carrier a little tap as they go in front, but miles in front. I'll be livid for a while about how bad that was refed

It seems we are good with ball in hand going forward but our exits and tactical kicking seem to be our weakness.

The Blues nearly found a way to lose that. I would pick Robinson as my MOTM.
We should have lost it. BOK saved us at the end.
Brumbies should've been 8 behind, second try was only cause ref didn't know maul laws

Agreed. It was blatant.

The Crusaders know how.
