    Tah rugby the epitome of dull

    Mitchell summed up the frustration in his post match talk. It was the most boring game he'd seen for a while. The Tahs are a headless chook that plays rugby at the speed that old people copulate.

    The Tahs first and only thought is to kick. They drag all their opponents into a dour struggle by slowing down the ball, and kicking and kicking and kicking. They hardly play any rugby

    The breakdown was a farce. The referee must have missed the rule changes regarding short and long arm penalties. After the Force had infringed 3 times he went to full arm penalties. We then had to watch a penalty goal shootout that would have had the poms on the edge of their seats. Unfortunately, many of the referees decisions at the breakdown were clearly wrong.

    Rex must have missed the law that says repeat infringements can escalate from FK to PK

    I've backed the Force all week to win this one and had them to win between 1-12....

    They did the Brumbies a favor tonight by denying the Tahs 4 table points...


    Now the Cheetahs to beat the Chiefs.....

    You must have missed the law that suggests the referee should referee both sides

    Good win by the Force, Ref tried his hardest to spoil the game. I think Assist Refs have gone down hill also since being given more authority in the game.

    Great victory by the Force! Tahs were ordinary & officials even more ordinary.

    Shame Force weren't given the opportunity to get 4-try bonus point.

    Tah rugby the epitome of dull

    I was watching a stream of the game online and there's a chat along with the video. Must of the people in there were from Europe and several Kiwi's. In between all the talk about Aussie's are only good at AFL & League they said many times that the Tahs are the most boring team to watch in the world.

    Nup i have been saying for years that 'assistant refs' must have to prove they're blind before they get the gig. I reckon I could easily do a better job...
