Brumbies got destroyed in the scrum, made way too many mistakes and seem to have decided that defence around the ruck area is optional.
Yet they still won and that’s what matters.

“Rubbed out”
Well done. 😁 😁 😁

The Wrap: Spare a thought for injured players as Super Rugby’s two rutting rhinos deliver an epic final preview

Nothing in the rules that states you are only allowed to do things that are necessary.

Brumbies beat Waratahs in monsoonal conditions as injury toll goes from bad to worse

Agree, the Fijian fans brought a lot to the atmosphere last night.
I freaked out a bit the 1st time they started screaming, it was so loud and intense I thought something was wrong, then I realised the Drua had just made an attacking break.
It must be an amazing experience to be in the crowd when they play at home.

Happened in Wellington Wallabies vs All Blacks 1996.
Wallabies ignored the Haka,
Wallabies did not score a try that day

Tahs hammered by Hurricanes as finals hopes hang by a thread

I think the worst thing you can do to kiwi rugby teams is ignore them and keep warming up while they do the Haka.
That did not go well. 😢

Tahs hammered by Hurricanes as finals hopes hang by a thread

Australia has actually produced some excellent tight head props recently, just ask New Zealand and Ireland.

He should have left the ball sitting on the tee until the clock ran out.
A great game of rugby, but the Crusaders lost the game rather than the Tah’s winning it.

Pot – kettle, anyone?

COMMENT: Australian rugby is a depressing picture - the RA board must be axed and the constitution changed

That’s it Biscuit, you spit that dummy, spit it hard.

Yet the Brums keep winning

You need to get out a bit more Ben and have some honest conversations with people outside of NSW.
You’ll find the hate for the Waratahs, and NSW rugby overall, is very real.

Passionate, visceral, irrational tribalism is vital for any competition to succeed. Is a lack of it damaging Super Rugby?

Both teams did their best to try and lose the match.
The Tahs were better than the Blues in this area.

The Brumbies didn’t have their head in the game for some reason.
The Chiefs played very well.

'Reality check': Brumbies cop hiding from Chiefs in worst display ever under Larkham

I don’t know mate.
You start off by telling us a story where a kiwi rugby player assaulted an Aussie because he was having a sook, then go on to make disparaging remarks about all of the Australian cities where rugby is played, then tell us Super Round should be held in New Zealand and we should all be going there.
You should get a job with Tourism New Zealand. I’m sure you’d be an asset.

Super Round is a celebration of rugby - that's why it should have never been held in Melbourne

I don’t think you understand how the Murdoch empire works.
The only guarantee you have when dealing with Murdoch is that Murdoch will win and damn the consequences.

The Wrap: Unity, integrity and the other casualties of shameful leaks aimed at the Rebels

If he wants to stay uninjured he needs to drop around 20kg.
being 178cm and 140kg puts too much strain on his knees, ligaments and leg muscles.
He might have been able to get away with it when he was younger, not now I’m afraid.

'Not here to come second': Why Tupou's arrival at the Rebels shapes as most important moment in club's history

The first ten years I was able to convince myself that it was just a blip, that things would right themselves soon enough. Every year I was wrong.

I have ended the last ten years thinking we have definitely hit rock bottom, at least it can’t get any worse. Every year I was wrong.

Now I’m left asking just how bad it is going to get.

The 2023 Wrap: Man who was 'dropped from heaven' and the abject s--t show that followed in his wake

Yes, and it’s going so well for us.

SPIRO ZAVOS: Return of the 'Woeful Wallabies' after 'coaching failure in heat of battle' - and how high can the Fijians fly?

The focus should only be on giving the Wallabies the best opportunity to win this world cup, nothing else.
Eddie has 4 years between world cups to develop a squad and provide experience.

This is the point of scrum dominance though, if you destroy the other teams scrum and win the contest, you are rewarded with a penalty.
Any team with a dominant scrum is going to take advantage of this situation.
Unfortunately for the Wallabies this is the reality we are looking at for this world cup.
