Fsck me sideways... have we forgotten how to play rugby

 

[Cpc]

What a k@k game!

 

[BobsLawnService]

Thanks Bosman, beautiful fsckup of a pass to lose the game. Pleasure watching you do that astounding piece of idiocy.

We were never in the game. We just don't have the attack to make tries against the better teams this year.

And more shocking reffing .... how that Bulls knock on was not called is a real :wtf: moment. It's all ruining the game this sub standard and what teams get away with.

Embarrassing...

Play to the whistle.

True!

Bulls deserve their lead...

Ref might as well wear a Bulls jersey. biased

 

[Vrotappel]

This Brumbies team never gave up.

Guess you also missed the knock on.

 

[SinghDude]

Jake white looking perplexed as usual...

 

[Creag]

Sharks were incredibly disappointing. So many mistakes and elementary errors. Should have been so much better. Eish!

 

[Creag]

Bulls almost got caught taking the foot off the gas. The 3 try burst by the Brumbies late in the game pushed the Bulls all the way.

 

[GreGorGy]

Ja - the brainfart certainly made an appearance around 60 minutes.

Attended my first ever post match presser with Jake White last night.

I was never a fan but after last night I might just become one!

The way he went about answering questions from the media was the most professional I have ever seen.
The most hilarious part of the whole post match conference was the fact that 80% of the time was spent on discussing the Boks, Heyneke Meyer and Victor Matfield. Not his fault though. He just answered what the journalists asked.

 

[APoc184]

All hail the ball that can't be knocked on!

 

[GreGorGy]

Troll!

Ja, we watched that try and were wondering, as was CJ, if anyone even saw what just happened.

I will hang on to that Yellow Cap for a while longer

"Sydney - Kurtley Beale is poised to take over the Test flyhalf spot due to James O’Connor’s unavailability for the Wallabies internationals in June, while Dan Vickerman’s playing future is again clouded."

Now that will be something to see. I think he will be a great flyhalf if he gets frontfoot ball and good service from his nr 9.

"Cape Town - SANZAR CEO Greg Peters says it's highly unlikely that the format of the Super Rugby tournament will be changed in the near future.

This means that the South African Rugby Union (SARU) can most likely forget about the possibility of six teams representing South Africa in next year's Super Rugby tournament.

The Southern Kings have been guaranteed a place in next year's tournament, which means one team would have to drop out.

This prompted SARU to try and convince SANZAR to expand the tournament."

I vote SA get the Kings in, Aus take a team from Japan (combined two strongest Japanese "provincial/club" teams"), and NZ get a Fiji/somoa/pacific island team going.
