Ooh, where's the TV ?

West's goal kicking is poor. Going to cost them.

Quality of the rugby being played is nothing short of sensational though. Wow!! Just wow! One scrum in close to 30 minutes of a season opener. Says a lot. Saffers going to be playing catch up again this year.

And still just the one scrum?

I can't watch the game since I'm at work but it sounds like it's worth watching later.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

And already a pathetic decision ....... creating the gap by taking out the player and TMO and ref are blind to it. Sigh.

And it looks like I will have my first Superbru and MyBroadband competition pick wrong.

As well. Looks like my predictions for SR2016 are picking up where they left off from RWC2015; namely wrong

This game is nail-biting...

 

[Fulcrum29]

4 tries, no bonus points. Though there was controversy, Umaga had a good opening coaching career in SR.

 

[Pitbull]

Why did the highlanders have to come back in the last few minutes? I had it full on

Great start to the season, great game.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Damnit, annoyed that I couldn't watch it live. Will have to watch it, though.

The first game of SR is usually a cracker. I remember the Highlanders/Chiefs one from 2 years back was amazing.

 

[Solitude]

Haha I thought I picked the Highlanders but it would seem I picked the Blues by accident so I got it right here and at Superbru. Very happy with that mistake.

 

[DanDango]

Highlanders NOOOO, not a good start for my superbru. Go BRUMBIES!

 

[ABCpt]

Well done Beast .... may you rise to the occasion!

I'm sure he will get the support from the team and the crowd is normally already behind him.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Kuridrani is carrying the flag for the Brumbies today... don't know why Pocock is hanging in his position, it is like their roles switched today.

Yeah, not a good start for my superbru.
Go Brumbies!!
