Some interesting picks. Cowan-Dickie over George, Mack Hansen over Darcy Graham being two that stand out.

Nevermind I've just seen there's a separate thread for this... Thought this one was suspiciously quiet!

When did Canadian ladies rugby get good. A draw in NZ vs New Zealand (NZ scoring the equalising points in the dying seconds). This follows a win in NZ against NZ last year

So that was a fairly good comeback from retirement by Portia Woodman-Wickliffe...

Far out, what happened to Moana this week....

Shouldn't the Blues be ahead of them now? Guess, its working off Wins, not PD.

Yeah wins

6th place is a battle between MP, Blues, & Waratahs

That was a heck of a contest between the Crusaders and Brumbies.

Have to say it's been the most enjoyable Super Rugby season in a while.

Yeah 100%, great performances from the Blues and Hurricanes as well. They certainly turned up. I could honestly see the Blues knocking over the Chiefs next weekend, and I reckon the Hurricanes will beat the Brumbies in Canberra.

Best for a while I agree. I still wish we had the SA teams, Argentina and Japan involved though.

Not sure how the Blues scraped through to the playoffs with a 6/8 record. They'll have their work cut out against the Chiefs though.

Just watching reds vs crusaders. Wild how much the crowds have dropped off. Saders used to be the most attended team I thought

Pretty grim weather in Christchurch tbf. People might be saving their money until they can go to a fancy new stadium with a roof next year.

 

[ripper868]

Even still, being a knockout game i thought might of pulled them in, not like christchurchians aren't used to **** weather.

Reds need to get on the good side of the ref here, blowing themselves off the park.

 

[ripper868]

McDermott penalised for what should of been a reds penalty on their own line, and saders score immediately from it.

6-0 pen count...

 

[ripper868]

That said, Crusaders dominating collisions etc. Reds not taking good options/being allowed good options, Saders deserve the lead.

 

[ripper868]

Just noticed the times for the B&I tour - I'm rather pleased with this - all the weekday matches also happen to fall on days I'd normally work from home. Shame.

 

[ashley bach]

Holy **** how did the Blues manage to pull that off
