17-17 after 80
10 mins Super Point in Perth.
Super Rugby 2025 Thread
Not a fan of super point, a draw is a draw as we saw last night. And 2 biggest winners last night are Brumbies and Chiefs, both get teams that are extra knackered after an extra time match.
Plus I had to stay up until after 11.30pm. well past my bedtime to watch the finish.

Lord is the Chiefs' BlackadderGumboot wrote: Wed Apr 23, 2025 10:51 pm Great to see Sititi and Lord coming back for the Chiefs this weekend.
Really hope Lord can stay fit. He's only managed 10 Supe games in the past 3 seasons, but he's still only 24yo and could yet become a more than handy test lock, imho.
You're saying Razor should consider him an automatic selection regardless of form or fitness?Kiwias wrote: Wed Apr 23, 2025 11:32 pmLord is the Chiefs' BlackadderGumboot wrote: Wed Apr 23, 2025 10:51 pm Great to see Sititi and Lord coming back for the Chiefs this weekend.

Ah... well if that's not it, I couldn't possibly speculate.
I was referring to a tendency he shares with Lord to get injured rather frequently and miss lots of games. Both he and Lord have such amazing potential, it is genuinely frustrating not to see them playing more often

Slow to score the first points but MP suddenly score two quick tries. GB misses both conversions, though.Gumboot wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 4:25 am Moana Pasifika vs the Fijian Drua is kicking off shortly in Albany.
Was thinking this would be a comfortable win for MP with Ardie back, but then saw Garden-Bachop's starting ahead of Pellegrini...
WTF is Tana smoking??
