Tipping the Sunwolves in a "close one"
FUCK
HAHAA TIME FOR BUMWOLVES
>>66256945
>"close one"
what did he mean by this
>>66256925
Rebels by 10. McMahon is probably the best Australian player playing right now.
awooo
Looks like its going to be one of those games where there is no streams
FUCK YEA MOON DOGS GET UP.
awooooooooooo
>>66257911
seems that way
>Harbour lad playing for Japan
fuck yeah go bumwolves
>>66257911
Not being televised by Sky in the UK/Ireland.
>>66257911
do you want my skygo login m8?
>>66257961
Yeah just checked the guide to confirm so very unlikely to be a stream. For some reason about 2-3 years ago it became impossible to find streams on these sites from NZ/Aus which would occasionally come up
starting Leafa over Hanson.
fucking why?
is that smoke or fog?
who organises commentating for these nippon games
>>66258031
Fog, it's cold AF in Nippon at the moment.
aboooo
Rebels got rekt by the Moonies' lineout
>de reblels
anyone got a stream that works?
>>66258420
im thinking i should set up a webcam for rug, but everyone on here's such a bunch of seething fucking casuals it wouldnt be worth it
>>66258420
Sadly there doesn't seem to be any anon.
>feelsbad.jpg
/rug/ even dedder than /cric/
>>66258671
No stream so not so many people watching the game.
awooo
>>66258685
thus
>>66258685
Why is /rug/ full of poor scum?
>>66257961
do you know why? might be because its very early here
they are broadcasting all the other games anyway
ITT: Sunwolves that remind you of yourself
For me it’s Durutalo – intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
>big anticipated clash between the crusaders and the kings
By who?
>>66258866
for me? Hitoshi Ono. Rugged yet warm-hearted, this 37-year-old is a great support in the Sunwolves' scrum
>>66258895
but will it be worse than reds v blues?
>>66258952
Blues Reds will be good you fag
>>66258952
That will be spaghetti vs spaghetti.
Crusaders will be a one sided rape train.
>>66258866
Mark Hammett. I couldn't win with a team filled with All Blacks.
>>66258864
I suspect that's the reason. Games don't usually start for another hour and 20 minutes.
Reds vs Blues
Lions vs Cheetahs.
Who the fuck scheduled this round?
Here's hoping the sunwolves win.
Have the jags won yet?
Rebels 11-9

>>66259004
Richard Graham
>>66259032
Yep, but they have a much better squad will be a lot tougher for sunwolves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsiK6iOdxgI&feature=youtu.be
A stream that is a little shit but it seems to be the only one up atm
Try under the sticks rebels.
>>66259070
churs brah
>>66259078
are stirzaker/debreczeni playing?
>>66259127
I think Stirzaker (literally who) is on the bench. Other literal who started.
>>66259151
ah k. They're not literals m8, they're the next Wallabies 9/10 combo
>>66259151
He's captain and probably next straya scrum half
Any match being played right now?
>>66259157
>whollabies
damn sunwolves are getting raped.
they were doing so well with until pisi came off injured last week.
Brave nippon going down in flames like a kamikaze into a carrier
Who would've expected the sunwolves to be garbage?
>>66259172
Thanks
Also
>Lobos do Sol
ooh comebacks on for the moondogs
>>66259221
They a need a try or two while the rebels are down a player
>>66259199
Fucking Moondogs I need you to lose by 1-12 for my multi.
What the fuck was that from Pisi selfish fuck
>>66259226
theyre playing like an aussie team today
Give it to Pisi!
>>66259157
Sweet sounds good just give us the RC now
>>66259230
>no defenders on the outside, 2 sunwolves
>goes inside himself
cunt
>>66259253
He knows they can't catch.
>>66259252
only if steve hansen can outwit michelangelo you can have it
>unlikely
Why have Sky Sports in UK and NZ have different logos?
>>66258969
>>66258952
blues vs reds seems like a game people would make up on a tv show to mock sports
>>66259252
by that stage we'll be using hall/west so might as well give aus the bledisloe desu
Sunwolves use way too many cut out passes it's a waste of time and easy to defend unless you get a clear 1on1 or free space situation. Not to mention harder to handle
>>66259285
Sky Sports and Sky Sport aren't the same company
>>66259293
I wish they had just played the Japan national team like with the Jaguares.
At least then they'd finish in the top half of the comp. At the moment they've got some good players, but they're let down by all the shit ones.
>>66259308
Lobos do Sol only exists because Argentina didn't enter with two franchises but only one.
>>66259308
Top League wouldn't let 'em, thats why the moondogs were such a shitfight compared to the hags
Is Hammett the shittest top tier rugby coach of all time?
I'm turning my back on the bumeolves lads. Don't have room in my heart for 2 garbage teams.
>>66259341
Isn't it Lancaster?
>>66259348
theyre the wales of super rugby
>>66259319
hopefully they'll expand to 2 sometime in a few years
>>66259328
ah figures. I guess they're not really any worse than the force/rebels/cheetahs/kings were first season
>>66259348
Blues and Sunwolves here. Feels bad man.
Any opinions on Beaumont and Pichot as new WR president and vice-president respectively?
>>66259341
The way the Sunwolves always wait for the halfback to clear the ball is very Hammetesque. I hate when teams do that. Every member of the team should be able to do that when the halfback can't arrive quickly.
>>66259363
Come jump on the Blues/ Landers bandwagon m8.
>>66259356
that's the cumsaders
Fuck, that 11 is a big hua
>>66259391
Hmmm dropping my shit team for a god-tier team could be a good move. Also, Landers and Poos have the best away jerseys.
Why did Adam Thomson leave NZ? Couldnt get an AB game?
>>66259410
Blues for the heart, Landers for the win.
>>66259380
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/mar/17/georgia-romania-six-nations-cup-final
that's all i've got, and I don't even think it's related
>losing to the Rebels
dissolve this shit Jap team, the Kings as well, the Blues as well
>>66259455
Fuck you
>>66259363
it could get worse. there is a decent chance the Reds might win tonight.
>>66259479
Blues by 12.
>>66259434
Left for the Dollarydoos after 2011 world cup.
Blues by 40
I hope the sunwolves crowds don't die out due to poor performances.
They'll comfortably beat the kings and maybe beat the reds/force, but I can't see any other wins.
>>66259496
ah yeah fair enough, he's still pretty dece despite being 34
and does that mean that players in Aus get paid better?
>>66259521
I discovered today that the tokyo metro is bigger than canada so if they don't sell out every game they're a disappointment in my eyes
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/mar/18/rugby-europe-tier-two-six-nations-georgia-romania
>50,000 going to the final of the nations cup
>game being streamed for free
Poosaders by 50 2bh
>>66259434
He already stuck on the bench and in 2012 would be dealing with the upcomers of Vito and Messam so chased some NH $$$ after the 11 world cup.
Then we also unearthed Cane and Luatua so it ended up being a very good career move for him. He's still a very good player at domestic level though.
>>66259565
d8 and time?
>>66259568
at least 100
>>66259530
Better players in his position were making their claim for the Black Jersey, so it made sense for all involved. Money is better everywhere in the world - hence why everyone leaves NZ to make coin.
>>66259530
A bit better yeah unless you're McCaw/Carter who were getting million dollar bonuses from the NZRU.
South African players get even less.
>there are people who haven't chosen Nadolo as fantasy captain this weekend
he is literally going to score 10 tries m80's
>>66259608
5pm local time (Georgia) on the 19th of March
They're GMT +4, so 2am AEDT
>>66259627
so really the Force could easily pay for Victor Matfield instead of fucking Marcel Brache?
>>66259732
better than lions cheetohs
>>66259757
well maybe not because then you'd be competing with yurop money.
Probably could have done it years ago when the Western Force had sponsorship/ARU support and were able to afford pocock, o'connor and giteau.

It's over Kings win the moral victory the only one that really matters. Everyone go home
Kings lad would've run that in for a try if he were able to run in a straight line without fucking it up.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
get fucked canterbury
There's going to be a storm in a few minutes
Reds-Blues could get sloppy
>>66260534
So true. Kings can't even run straight.

>>66261253
rumour is the QRU promised that Laurie Fisher will be head coach in 2017.
>>66261323
it was a simple mistake
he was just running to the changing rooms and accidentally took the kick instead
>>66261375
yeah jokes aside the Basedbies are fucking screwed after this season
its quite surreal. Because of the fucking weird way Rugby operates, it's like we know the Brumbies are about to become the Titanic but it hasn't happened yet.
.>We are going to lose 6-7 players next season, and there's the debt...
By some miracle they re-signed BASEDvid HUGEcock.
BUT he is taking next season off to go fight the patriarchy full-time.
>>66261448
Yeah it's funny. This early in the season it looks like the Brumbies will win this year but also won't make the finals next year.
Barber: what kinda cut u want?
Mitchell Drummond: just fuck my shit up famalam.
>>66261484
Wouldn't have made any non-crusaders 23's last year. Could make the blues bench this year but that's it.
Such a bad player. Bad for the NZ U-20's, bad for Canterbury and bad for the Crusaders.
>Nadolo could have played for Australia

>>66261533
They're two different players. Besides, there's Naiyaravoro and he maybe eligible for Australia
>>66261567
Tards actually
>>66261583
Naiyaravoro did get a cap for Australia.
Cheika played him off the bench for 20 minutes against USA.
>>66261583
>Naiyaravoro and he maybe eligible for Australia
Already is
CheikGOD gave him a cheeky cap in the World Cup warmups before he fucked off to wherever he went to cuck anyone else out of using him
Hes average tho

>THE Waratahs are set for a major boost with blockbusting winger Taqele Naiyaravoro reportedly set to rejoin the club in the 2016 Super Rugby season.
>But the Herald Scotland is reporting that the 24-year-old will activate a break clause in his contract that will allow him to him to return to the Sydney-based club at the end of Glasgow’s season.
>The Warriors’ last scheduled fixture for 2016 is against Connacht on May 7, meaning Naiyaravoro could potentially play the business end of the Super Rugby competition for NSW.
thats interesting

>>66262065

>>66262068
I'm looking forward to them coming up against the Hurricanes and Highlanders backlines.
I could see the clan putting 100 on them.
>>66262079
A for Auckland?
Mah nigga
>>66262065
Probably Blues I guess.
Their game will either be laughably bad or a suprisingly vigorous contest
>there's some sore bodies out there

Cheetahs, Sharks x2, Stormers, Sunwolves, Kings x2, Lions x2, Bulls
Chiefs, Blues, Hurricanes, Crusaders, Highlanders.
Kind of annoying how no kiwi sides play the Sunwolves and no aussie sides play the Jaguares.
>>66262140
yep
and the Sunwolves once I think
>>66262186
why does one aus/nz division only play one other conference? makes no sense
Should super /rug/ be relaunched lads? With teams representing cities/regions and no longer unions?
>It's a BASED Blues away jersey episode.
>>66262202
The new setup makes no sense.
>>66262202
no fucking idea. I miss the days when every team played every team once.
>>66262270
So crisp.
>Broncucks playing at the exact same time
pitiful attendence incoming
Anyone else getting a fucking annoying hiss?
>>66262209
I'm personally for restructuring of play schedules so the players can be allowed more rest.
There is much increased workload compared to 10 years ago with players being bigger. And if you're a star player you'll be playing more games, play-off games, test matches.
For sake of player welfare, SANZAR should either shorten the season by reducing number of matches, or introduce compulsory rest schedules for players. For example a quota of weeks off during a year's schedule so coaches can still field certain players for key consecutive matches.
where is Gill?
where is mini Kuridrani?
>>66262313
yes must be Fox Sports' fault
Hospital pass what was he thinking.
is this the derby to determine the worst team in Australasia?
Has Blues produced any flyhalf to speak of after Carlos Spencer?
>>66262317
Gills still injured I think
PS apparently Cheikapoleon is getting hard on his case to break his Toulon contract
>>66262335
ner that was two weeks ago, Force won that game
why's goromaru benched
>>66262343
how would he do that?
isnt the whole point of a contract that you cant just break it if you feel like it?
literally the slowest line speed in the entire competition
>>66262313
yep. muted my tv to be sure what it was
>>66262358
maybe it's just an agreement until his reds contract ends
>Speds
West is a serious genetic mix
>>66262353
because they're thick. they need him to do the kicking with macintyre being mediocre.
>Poos
>>66262358
depends on whether he has a getout clause (which will give toulon some return on their investment)
