Tate McDermott blaming refereeing for the loss. Not captaincy material.

Led with it too!! Australian rugby in a fucking nutshell. Derpus is not an outlier

There's a generation that had their formative years coincide with winning a RWC and holding the Bledisloe. The return to the long term mean has had them blaming referees and calling other teams cheats ever since.

"Some of the call didn't go our way" Meaning: "that's the game and these things can go either way"

"Some questionable calls tonight" Meaning: "I'm a dickhead"

@mariner4life I took it as a comment across the comp, not just this game.

[Derpus]

@Kruse hey I enjoyed that game. Was a goodn.

But yeah. I stand by what I said and still think.

What a surly and ill-tempered response from McDermott. Questionable calls? Sure. But from what I saw, that went both ways.

Yep. Can't say it was the best refereeing ever. But also didn't feel like throwing things at the TV because of it either - it seemed to average out.

Yeah, understandable he’s disappointed but shouldn’t let that leak into the interview so bluntly

11 players out for the Reds according to Thorn. Impressive.

I don't think Stevenson was that bad. He was brillant in attack and his kicks are powerful. The O'Connor's 50-22 was not his fault : 1) the kick was very good 2) he was playing as a left wing and DMac was the fullback, so it was the latter to cover deep.

Chiefs coaching debrief after that one would be a good one to be an observer at. Lots of angsty moments for me watching with one eye when the game was in the balance for so long, but likely not so bad on a calm replay...

Fern favorite ALB was pretty anonymous. On current form, he would not make the AB squad. Has he fully recovered from his injury ?

[KiwiMurph]

For such a youngster Lynagh gave a great account of himself I thought. A game like that should do wonders for his development. If Reds can sort their coaching out they could challenge the top 4 next season - they have plenty of talent.

@cgrant Yeah apart from that lazy bit on defence that led to the first Reds try, he was pretty decent. A threat every time he got the ball.

@KiwiMurph

He missed 3 shots at goal , That would have been interesting if he nailed those 7 points.

[Dan54]

Have to say Big Brodie close to MOTM?

Yeah - he's a 20 year old rookie playing the best team away from home in a playoff game. He also nailed a 3 pointer near halfway.
