@DMAC_1O Quality team. By my count, 14 All Blacks in the 23?
Set piece for the Chiefs looks strong and that doesn’t take into account their counterattack abilities. Reds will need their weetbix. Haven’t beaten the chiefs at home since ‘13, and no Aussie team has ever won a final in NZ.
@ChristypDoran Amazing what happens when the kick the ball for him and pass the ball to him. Only took to the end of the season in a dead rubber……..
Such a Tahs thing to do
@biscuitman007@OzRadio1 I’ll never forget the spray Chieka gave the Wallabies at half time in Argentina. We were getting flogged and somehow turned it around to win it but only because I think the players were genuinely scared of Chieka
Dylan Pietsch better be starting 15 for the Wallabies and Harry Potter better be sent to Shute Shield 3rd grade and never in a Tahs jersey again. #FORvWAR
@biscuitman007@OzRadio1 I think it had to do with him threatening everyone with a golf club at training or halftime, and a generational wealth of talent at his disposal.
Nick White’s sideline commentary has been entertaining tonight 👌
Who would have thought that the mouthiest halfback in Aussie rugby history would be a good commentator 😱😂

@aw_ryder It depends on what you mean by abuse. Is booing the ref at pro games abuse? Is me tweeting James Doleman’s diet consists of glue and crayons abuse? I think not but happy to be proved wrong.
Is fans threatening referees and their family on social media abuse? Absolutely 🇦🇷 👀
I think I whinge more about James Doleman than my own beloved Waratahs, but anyone who abuses referees at the amateur level, especially kids, should be tarred and feathered in a public square
My son is refereeing local Auckland rugby, because he loves the game. The newbies wear a jersey that says "FIRST YEAR REFEREE". Last week he looked after an under 15s outer suburban high school game. Abused by ADULT coaches, including one who crossed the sideline (illegal) and walked over to the kicking tee to abuse him.
It was all he thought about all week.
Do they want kids to referee? And what example is being set to the players here? Grow up people.
