I don't know what to say. This wasn't a great game and we played really kuk.

Makes no difference when you can take four points off a team you've only beaten once away... At the end of a three week tour.
Three from three in Australia. Nice.

Long tour? Grinding out "ugly" victories is the sign of a good team.

They grinded it out, but damn those Brumbies are hopeless. It is only their scrummie which read into the Lions game, you could see his frustration with his team mates. The Brumbies reminded me of last year’s Stormers, seeing how they played.

I agree. 3 out of 3 is great. Just nail biting stuff. Hopefully we can continue our winning streak and take it that one step further this year.

Our defense, particularly in our own red zone, was worth the price of admission alone. It was immense. For me, it never felt like they would score in that last quarter, line breaks or no... Now, JA just needs to start getting them in the right head-space to play NZ teams come the knock-out stages.

Did I hear that right? Hurricanes have only kicked to the posts for a penalty 3 times this season... :wtf:

Those conditions are not making rugby easy... The Bulls and the Highlanders struggling with the mud and wet ball.

Red card for Highlanders player (14). Moment of insanity. Deliberately running his shoulder through player and late too. No intention of a tackle. Yellow definitely. I suppose foul play as it was is completely uncalled for.

Just how he thought he'd get away with it. And the innocence when he gets summoned by the ref :rolleyes:

Naholo will get 4-5 weeks. This will hurt the All Blacks and Highlanders.
