And I thought Japan-South Africa in 2015 was bad.
First time I've been that emotionally into a rugby match since the early 2000s.
Thank goodness!
I had to laugh when Swain and Mitchell said the crowd were on their feet. What all three of them or were they talking about the ball-kids who seemed to be wearing AFL jumpers.
Rangi tried hard and so did Ruru to start fights that is. Shame Ruru dropped the ball to end the game. Not!
Can't log in to foxtel.com.au ATM for replay. Did the Rabble Rousing play many other SR players besides Rangi & Ruru?
If Force and Fiji are top two at the end, someone at RugbyWA and/or Minderoo really needs to consider making the semi-finals a double-header in Perth. And let's start promoting the Force-Drua game in the mainstream press next week.
Otherwise...
Banana skin avoided!
Naisarani, Mees Erasmus, English, Hardwick, Weeks, off the top of my head
Whoever wins at McGillivray next Saturday goes top, but I reckon the team that doesn't will likely finish third.
(Unless Q Country lose to NSW Country - but you wouldn't bet on that). Could see the final four something like this:
1. Force/Drua
2. Q Country
3. Force/Drua
4. Vikings/Brisbane
Big incentive for the Force to get the W next week to not only retain the shield, but get play-off(s) at home.
Retained against the enemy!
