Pretty grim round for Mainlanders, O-Man.
Some good tries scored but both sides lacking solid defensive structures and experienced game management.
The Highlanders have won on their last two visits to Suncorp but I won’t risk any money on them going three in row.
And the Force always lift for a Crusaders visit so there’ll be no respite for them either.

In a court of law a defendant’s crimes aren’t weighed up against similar crimes committed by others. You’re tried as an individual.
Given that these rugby judiciary procedures are basically run by the legal fraternity, are they simply following that same protocol?

The TMO and the citing commissioner run the ruler over these things as well, Woz.
Team officials can also request a review by the citing commissioner of foul play incidents within four hours of the match ending.

It was definitely late and penalised.
The size of the player isn’t relevant.

Never had the good fortune to see them live. Flatted with a Cramps fan when I was in my early 20’s, still influencing the direction of my music collection to this day.

Stan was a scary bugger from the safety of the living room. I can’t imagine what it would have been like packing down against him.

Has he been penalised for 3 late tackles though?
I thought he was deservedly penalised for the tackle on Lynagh but not sure whether the other tackles even resulted in a penalty.

A lot of conjecture there, BF.
Maybe wait and see if he’s even selected for the All Blacks before registering your disappointment.

Even an inopportune penalty can turn or lose a game.
Finau is demonstrating the willingness to hit hard but to be the best you must be making the best choices.

“It’s more than fractionally late, it’s a targeted measure from the blindside flanker to go after the opposition playmaker just as they release the ball.”
So Christy, you’re contending that Finau would rather tackle a guy without the ball than with it? And he actually has the ability to know ahead of time exactly when or even if the player is going to make a pass so he can arrive “fractionally late”? That’s some next level schiit right there.

“Might have been exciting for you as an Aucklander”
There’s your ‘alternate reality’ right there. Then you proceed to twist a pointless narrative around that. And double down with an equally pointless post in an attempt to save face? IDGAF if Harris was a pisshead, I was just going to watch NPC games chocka block with All Blacks. Try and do that these days.
I’d read a few of your posts in the past and pegged you as something to avoid. Thanks for proving me right.
Don't be fooled by the Crusaders start to the season: They are still boasting plenty of NZ Rugby talent in their ranks
Sorry to burst your bubble of indignation but I’m not from Auckland.
But don’t you have giant chips on both shoulders, you POS.

I was living in Auckland back then and would go to most of their matches. Lindsay Harris was often the only uncapped player in the starting XV.
Some fabulous rugby was played in that era and not just by Auckland as their opponents often lifted for the occasion. Thames Valley scored a stunning length of the field team try during a RS challenge.

That sums up your posting history.

The Wrap: Good news and bad news for Rugby Australia as Brumbies and Rebels win local derbies
Dusty, how can The Reds reassert themselves as a southern power when they’ve never been a southern power?
Their Super Rugby win ratio is 45%.
All five NZ sides have better win ratios, as do the Brumbies (59%) , Tahs (50%), Stormers, Sharks, Jaguares, and Bulls.

Remember when the Sharks beat the Crusaders in Chch after Jean Deysel was red carded in the 16th minute. And Willem Alberts got a yellow in the 64th.
That’s what I’m talking about.

Excellent news. Thanks for the update OB.

Holland has shown some potential and looks to be very motivated every time he steps on the park. Learning to use his size well, certainly not intimidated by the step up from NPC.
The timing of Joseph coming back into the Highlanders fold couldn’t be better for the likes of Holland so I’m watching his development with much interest.
But, as others have mentioned on these boards, I wish these young forwards could still get regular exposure to the SA style.

I’m a fan of the Highlanders using Southland’s maroon for their away strip.
But actually playing like Southland is taking the concept a bit too far.

Hurricanes put half-century on Rebels in ugly scoreline for embattled Super Rugby franchise as injuries add up
Canes certainly have a different mindset this year. Very solid at the set piece and their dynamic ball playing frontrowers and loosies are a joy to watch on attack and defence.
And T.J might not be a purists halfback but he is still a damn fine exponent of the game.

Nice to see Jason Isbell getting a shout out, Geoff.
I first knew of him from his time in Drive-By Truckers and it’s no coincidence that my favourite albums were written and recorded during Isbell’s time with DBT (’01-’07). He got kicked out for being insistent that the band ease up on the hard partying so of course his talent, skills and professionalism went with him. And it shows in the Truckers subsequent output.
