It’s match day!

Been great to discuss the games as they happen throughout the tournament. How are we feeling about this final?

Just a reminder why I stopped really watching rugby. The ref has far too much impact on who wins the game, it's so inconsistent.

Back to cricket for me. Anyone say up to watch the triller against AU last night?

Game decided at 2 minutes.

Certainly setting the theme early on!

That's when I stopped watching & went to the shed, lol.

Bloody better be! Almost carbon copy, no mitigation at all

Oooh, not happy about that

Yeah take back my comment about fair calls. That’s bull. He was still in the air.

Oh, THIS is why the supermarket was so empty this morning, lol.

TMO in charge of the game. Barnes is just a back up enforcement of decisions.

Pace is incredible, but the discipline is crap. Sooo many penalties.

Fantastic effort in the second half, but yeah, bugger

Red was fair enough. Poor discipline from our boys - they should know better with Barnes at the helm

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I think all the calls have been fair from the refs. We just need to stop making stupid mistakes.

Absolutely. Those lineouts have been embarrassing!
