Blues not really in the game. Also seems like a lot of kicking for two Kiwi sides to be doing, or is it just me?

Yeah, quite a bit. But from the Blues it's just aimless at this point. Highlanders using it to gain territory effectively.

 

[Pitbull]

Haha,

Highlanders playing top quality rugby. Could this be their year?

20-0 at half time.

They have had a fantastic season.
I won't write the Stormers off just yet. But I think they'll take it yes.

They usually start their seasons strong and then just lose the plot somewhere along the way. This year they've got consistency. Problem is, Hurricanes are, too.

So quick question...

Is a coach allowed to change a team at the last minute (and I mean the WHOLE team, not just one injury enforced change).

AC has obviously named his team based on his assumption that either the Waratahs or Brumbies will with their respective matches, but what if the 'unthinkable' happens and both these teams lose? Is AC allowed to reinstate all his first choice players in an effort to beat the Sharks and secure 2nd place on the log?

Highlanders running riot... 39 - 0 (66mins)

Doubt he is allowed to do that.

Final teams need to be submitted at least 24 hours before match day if I recall correctly. It might be 48 hours too?

Changes are allowed for unforeseen circumstances like somebody getting injured during the captains run or during warm-up or if they fail the last minute fitness tests.

No they are not.

This will cause massive upsets with sport betting and the reason they need to announce their starting team 48 hours before the game.

Insane upset! 2% predicted this

You are one of the "two" percent.

 

[KOPITE]

Slow down there cowboy!

KOPITE does not speak for the rest of us. Still struggle to agree with him on any of the stuff he posts. Especially on Stormers match days.

Geez... This guy is a bit of a fan, hey?

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Bit creepy.

Anyone watching the game this morning? I can't unfortunately. Seems Nadolo is on fire again.

 

[APoc184]

Watching bits and pieces between feeding and entertaining the daughter while wife is shopping.

Peyper not getting much love from Canberra.

Brumbies just scored. Going to be a tight second half.

Yellow card a piece for each team. Crusaders lucky not to have two yellows.

17-24 after 50min

 

[APoc184]

All over for the Brumbies. Were in it until that penalty try for the Saders.

 

[APoc184]
