Sacré bleu ...
I'm fine with the draw, good result. Well played, both teams. Sad that it's over.
~~~~~~
Now, back to SR...
Blues went on holiday one day early, eh? 4by... Please, tell me you didn't just lose to the Sunwolves?
Canes have ruined home field advantage for the Crusaders. Dagger through the heart stuff, in the final round.
All NZ teams, except your mob, made the finals...
Canes v Brumbies (In AUS) - Chiefs v Stormers (In RSA) - Saders v Landers (In Christchurch).
Kings & Cheetahs are the South African teams that got dropped from Super Rugby. But, it looks like they've already been picked up by the Pro12 comp up north.
Aussie billionaire Andrew Forrest seems prepared to help fund the Force, so they may be here to stay?
Wallabies announced, no Quade. Perhaps, the recent June tests were the final chapter in his international career?
Either way, I don't care. He hasn't been elite since 2011.

And yes my blues missed the plot completely, its them f**king nz warriors influencing them like the f**king plague! Bloody french c**ts!

It's always good to have the weaknesses exposed before a RWC. The result will do them a world of good.
PS... Don't forget, a draw is better than a loss.
Hurricanes are out. They won't get a chance to defend their title.
The final is the Crusaders v Lions, in South Africa. Top two sides in the comp according to placement on the table. Tickets are all sold out, apparently. Which is good, particularly after some half-arsed crowds in the semi-finals.

Watching the replay of the super rugby final, huge call to be a red card.
Thoughts?

SBW Vs British lions all over again, in the ol' ol' days that wouldve just been a penalty or on the edge of a yellow card depending if it was deliberate. Me, I would've went for a yellow.Originally posted by AndyB:Watching the replay of the super rugby final, huge call to be a red card.

Yes, the Lions got dudded but they almost had a comeback win, I believe grand finals should not implement a red card ever, yellows yes, red? No, it kills the other teams chances,

... Those horrible Kiwis love to run up the score, Rabbits. Originally posted by 4x4niner:

Glad the Lions made a game of it, even though they were down to 14 men.
It was the right call though. And so was the SBW red.
Dangerous play has to be taken seriously & punished. The NRL is way too soft when it come to send-offs. In the age of CTE that's just not good enough.
If collision sports don't do everything they can to make the games safer, then don't be surprised if they are all but dead in 20 years time.
PS... I'm not a huge fan of using club games as a loophole to avoid suspension. But others have done it before.

Looks like his test career is over. He's been average since 2011 anyway. About time the Wallabies moved on.

If he'd played in NZ his international career would've been over years ago.
Quade & O'Connor, particularly O'Connor, have been huge disappointments considering the potential they had.
Glad Kurtley turned it around, they guy is truly world class.

Also...
R.I.P - THE WESTERN FORCE... And, likely west coast rugby.
Shameful decision by the ARU, & cowardly by Bill Pulver to abruptly resign.
