The Rugby Championship - Round 1

[OomStruisbaai]

The TMO seems determined to find something illegal in that tackle. And he gets his fucking way. Thank god for Gus’ common sense in not going to a YC

You got that wrong.

Look like it's game on

You agree with the TMO???

Look I don't agree with the rule or the TMO but we are use to the way they blow in the UzRC. If the head get in it's a card

[fishfoodie]

NZ rusty as f**k

[Guy Smiley]

NZ are aimless in attack and paper thin defence. Sefrica are going to put a cricket score on us if we play like this against them.

There are too many Barrett’s and MacKenzies on the field

There are too many Barrett’s and MacKenzies on the field

And too many Crusaders in the coaching box.

These players don't even know each other's names, let alone the moves they need to make

[Gumboot]

*gulp*

He was absorbing the ball carrier's charge

The new players are all performing. It’s the rot from that poisonous Waikato dwarf that’s going to take more than 4 tests to clean up and detox.

How long to go

Irrelevant, it was a tackle, he was upright, made no attempt to go low, shoulder to head, yellow card

8 minutes

It’s like the southern hemisphere is a decade behind wrt head injury.

Who’d have thought that, eh.

[Enzedder]

I hope Razor is watching how a well coached team plays.

He could also watch the Boks game for more clues

[Enzedder]

And this penalty wraps it up.

Well done Razor - you have equalled Fozzie

Gus seems to view it differently to you guys. I wonder who is more likely to know the laws.

[Biffer]

I thought Razor was meant to be the saviour?

[TheNatalShark]

Argies could win by 15 here

[Guy Smiley]

Well done to the Pumas

[Kiwias]

Deserved win by the Pumas.

[Tichtheid]

Well done Argentina, a terrific win.

[Gumboot]

Well done Pumas, thoroughly deserved to win that.

As for the All Blacks... Not. Fucking. Good. Enough.

There’s at least one Mackenzie too many on the field.

[ScarfaceClaw]

NZ were absolutely shit. Argentina more than deserved that win. We were just clueless on attack and had no defensive patterns at all.

There's no sugarcoating that performance. Just dreadful.

Feel free to read the laws yourself

Have you sent them to Gus?

So there was head contact, foul play, low degree of danger, and mitigation, meaning that a PK was the correct call. Thanks for clarifying that.

[Gumboot]

Wellington needs to be blacklisted as a test venue.

[Kiwias]

Wellington needs to be blacklisted as a test venue.

The new stadium in ChCh will be ready soon so I agree with your call.

[Dan54]

And this penalty wraps it up.

Well done Razor - you have equalled Fozzie

Shit even Fozzie's team didn't give up 38 points FFS. I have said before we seem to be getting caught out with defense not connecting.
It will take awhile to sort out as Razor has used every ex coach from Crusaders so he won't bring in anyone else!

[Sards]

Well that's a shock

[OomStruisbaai]

South Africa can be really thankful playing URC rugby. Props like Wilco Louw and Neethling Fouche would have drill the Wallabies even more.

[Biffer]

When I watch New Zealand there seems to be something about these players where they expect to be as good a team as previous NZ sides, without putting in the work to get to that level. They think they're as good individually as previous teams (some of them may well be) but they're nowhere near in terms of being a team. And they don't seem to understand the level of work previous teams put into achieving that.

It's Soup rugby. They miss us. The basics of 1st phases, scrumming, lineouts, workrate.

It's not always about " us " ouboet.

Reminds me of when Brodie Retallick's cheek bone was smashed and Wayne Barnes called it a soak tackle. So, lets also call this a soak tackle

[Enzedder]

There’s at least one Mackenzie too many on the field.

And at least 3 too many Crusaders in the coaching box?

[Gumboot]

Still feeling a bit shell-shocked this morning tbh. How did we botch that so badly? Towards the end it was just amateur hour rubbish. Something's well off. Can't see us getting close to SA at this rate.
