This is it final round. Early doors: NZ vs Aus. Followed by Arg vs SA. It’s technically all on the line, but los Pumas still need a miracle. I’m hoping to catch at least a bit of both, this year’s TRC has been the best in donkeys years!

    As I type, the ABs have only 18 minutes to build a lead before the final quarter begins and we get to see if they’ll be shut out 6 games in a row.

      Both looking accident prone after the break. Could be a low scoring affair from now. Meaning anyone’s game!

        Still think Razor was a bit slow on pulling the trigger on getting the bench on, but the forwards replacements in particular did really well once they were on.

        The question from the game is, has Schmidt coached a bunch of lesser players to perform well above their #10 ranking, or are Razor’s ABs just that clunky at the moment?

          33 pts isn’t that clunky though. There was some great handling and broken play they excelled in. Hard to fault the team imo, first phase maybe a touch uncreative, certainly Austrailia playing with more flair. But they lost
