- Saturday's televised games -

if only nz had a kicker....

bombed it..

all blacks are poor today..passing is off

Its pretty greasy underfoot there mikehhh

yeah i no that but alot ofpasses going behind players

What the ..........

shocker from the ref not to at least go to the TMO there. Arg robbed big time

Arg robbed of a try

Where's the TMO ?

Referee: Pascal Gauzère (France)
Assistant Referees: Jérôme Garcès (France), Rohan Hoffmann (Australia)
TMO: Peter Marshall (Australia)

possibly evens up the decision not to give a yellow and a pen early in the game.

Arg scrum looking world class again. Can't be bad when you more than hold your own against SA and NZ for three games so far.

NZ 18 ARG 9

62 mins

NZ 21 ARG 9

64 mins

Did one AB stay on their feet then?

NZ 28 ARG 9

73 mins

i think argentina will cause a big upset sooner rather than later

Argentina's exposure to this competition is going to do them well long term I think.

same weather in australia???anyone know

can never decide on south africa didnt look great against argies but seem to do well against aus

They appear to have been trying out a new 10 versus the Argies. As undynamic as Morne Steyn is, he is dependable. They won't have the scrum problems they were having v the Argies either

yeah south africa scrum looks stronger than aus..might win a few pens that way

south africa are massive value in these conditions,better pack,heavy going,6/4 is huge.

Looks like Springbok kinda weather.

bloody hell phone goes when game starts ha

springboks been on top??

right tackle that

aus scrum a lot stronger

Aus have been the better team.  I expect the Wallabies to take this game in the 2nd half if they only go in at HT 3 points behind

HT

Aus 11 - 14 SA

aus have looked slightly better, plus theyve got the wind behind them 2nd half

draws a player now for sure

i hope so, ive fliipped 3 times laying, big green on the draw for me

Big mistake by the Wallabies

That stupid mistake has cost the Wallabies 3 points.  Mistakes like that must do a coach's head in

Sometimes I wonder if Bernard Foley has a brain for playing Rugby

Wallabies have been AWFUL in the 2nd half

Looks very much like this game is over already Boks pulling clear

Jaysus Wallabies are brutal

never a yellow

I thought the tackle was ok.

soft card that

one arm on the shoulder - not near the head

If this was played in SA the ref would be playing the part of pantomime villain.

Wallabies still have a chance to win this game.  Only 6 pts behind

aussies win terible decision though the yellow card changed it

that yellow really was key.

Habana was in the bin for 12 minutes - how is that allowed to happen?

i hope officials gets reviews cos even after looking with tmo he gave a yellow

GSM Wallabies.  They got out of jail.

FT

Aus 24 - 23 SA

Usual utter farcical officiating vs SA... well done Clancy, how you can watch it again and call it a pen nevermind a sending off... when Boks had ascendency..

But of course I am just a biased conspiracy nut.... Gotta keep fragile AUS fans paying to watch especially when the get pummelled for 50 pts game before

1.7 was a massive price for Foley to kick the conversion.  Wasn't that difficult of a kick

Unlike NZ we will not have refs making apologise and confessing error.... Just give the frikking thing to NZ already... and quit the side shows.. Fuming as usual..

Anyone ever see a NZ back getting sin binned for that tackle, that saw an arm over the shoulder on a man ducking...

having watched that and having seen plenty of the waratahs this season it seems utterly remarkable( and daft) that mckenzie has been so reluctant to play foley & beale at 10/12

NZ wont need a officiating gift next week...they simply a lot better than AUS & SA... That wont stop them from getting one wonder which C*nt, will be doling the gifts.. who gets to be the Sap... Probably JDV, they have ruined BH's 100 th its surely his turn next.

What's Nz got to do with the decision. Give it a rest Baptist. Your chip on the shoulder over Nz is incredibly boring

i love the baptist!
he's even more bitter and twisted than me

He's back and more one-eyed that ever.  The Baptist much be the richest betting man on here as he always knows what is coming to his beloved Boks. 

Nobody at BF actually watching the Sarries game as it just goes in play regardless at 2pm

I'm trying to watch Sarries and Scarlets but I only have one tv.

Ashton btn by the young Christian Wade as Wasps take a narrow lead.

Wade scores another ........ Ashton looking lightweight.

try or no try ...... where's Noel Edmonds when you want him ?

fast fingers almost got a gubbing there

cracking opener, not for the first time at this twickers double header

yet another yellow card for Liam Williams at Parc y Scarlets.

Coach Dai needs to watch the replays.The ground level shot clearly showed the ball touching the line for the Sarries win

You can take the boy away from scaffolding CC........etc

a 2nd yellow gets Liam a red.

32-32

a scaffold awaits ........ plus drawing and quartering

could be a gd game this

Quins ?

commentator said about player A being a promising 19 year old followed by player Bon the other side, relishing the opportunity to get to close quarters with him.

Is he trying to tell us something ?

im watching sharks struggling in Currie cup 6-15 down 55 gone  ref is brilliant he has completely lost control of scrums playing huge advantages for knock ons rather than pack down and have to make a desicion!!  priceless

to think i backed points in this game grr

Terrible play by Leinster

Did people realise the current Leinsetr squad?  Why were they favs before game?

market is terrible on game 2/13 or 2/1

you could always put your own offers up

Leinster are going to struggle this year with a lot of last years squad gone

How poor are Leinster?

are bookies paying out on northampton title yet

great refing

glasgow dont need to keep throwing it around can grind out a win here i know there going for bonus point but can do that in last 5

Do these stupid CHUNTS commentating not realise this is not the same Leinster team from last year?  9 players missing for Leinster

Keep calm.  First game, makeshift selection, away to last years finalists.  No drama.

Could be a interesting finish!

glasgow own fault if they lose this

Well played Glasgow, deserved win, madness at the end.

Great drama in today's Pro 12 on Sky!

Stupid penalty at the end cost Leinster

anyone watching the french game??

good couple of pro 12 matches to advertise the new season on sky.
why the markets have glasgow 4th favs is a mystery. probably the most settled squad o allf the leading contenders going into the new season

and i am not at all biased in that opinion

They've obviously factored in the unsettlement the players face when they lose the sterling as a formal currency

08.00 Sky Sports 3 .. New Zealand v Argentina ......... The Rugby Championship  ko 8.35  28-9

Remarkably we had one draw with only NZ v Arg being outside a 6 point difference !

point differences 19, 1, 6, 0, 3, 5, 2, 5.

Watching this Blues game cc? Patchell is quality.

Looks like they have some depth in the front row too. Craig Mitchell not a bad replacement TH. Reserve hooker is a decent youngster too

just stopped watching ...... Hibbard being very funny on The Clair Balding Show now .. BT Sport 1

talking about the players who would go for a spray tan before the game

Clare Balding

My old man was on about that, Ashton and someone else ripping him for being Welsh

James Haskell the Wasps captain - the just played a game (getting dice out of a bowl with chopsticks} ........

Ashton was winning but his pile toppled over with 10 seconds to go .. whereupon he hit Haskell's pile over leaving Hibbard the winner.

all very friendly banter .........

Hibbard said his hair tingled the first time he ran past the shed at Gloucester ...... Ashton said it was because they had set fire to it !
