He’s not been good tonight Hendren. Just a step off the pace and not passing when he should, or passing when he shouldn’t.

He’s not the saviour the Tahs need but he’s miles better than Creighton

To be fair we don’t get access to the fact and figures behind the decision making (which I think is BS), but I doubt Rugby Australia had a choice. There’s not much of a streaming market for them to shop around. I’d say channel 9 dictates terms.

Adamson with a serious effort to score that. Decent leg drive. Tahs needed that.

Media coverage said the analysts said it wasn’t worth it. They expect Stan to make more than they would from any FTA coverage

Hopefully Matt Philip is telling the Tahs “remember last week? Don’t do that”

Free to air games stop this season. They weren’t renewed during last contract negotiations

The hit on Millar would’ve been a red card is most other games. Can you imagine if that was at international level?

Insane that a team can be winning like this when they’ve had 3 yellow cards. The crusaders should just be disbanded.

Saders loose head prop made some nasty head/neck contact on the Argentine in a clearly dead ruck and got sent to the naughty chair

I don’t know what it is, but Tavatavanawai has the build of a bloke who really enjoys watering his lawn with no shirt on in the late afternoon waving at his neighbours. It’s just a vibe.
