can someone tell me , why is no one at these games, the stadiums are more than half empty , and its the very best rugby in the world. im irish and must admit this is so much better than norhern hemiphere rugby and yet there seems to be little interest. in europe the stadiums are jam packed for most games and we have nowhwere near this quality - bizarre?
@devoymoe I guess there are loads of reasons. IMO people don't have the same attachment to a 'super rugby franchise' as they do to a team like for example Munster or Gloucester. I used to live in Co. Cork and every 2nd car had a Munster sticker, kids were wearing Munster jerseys. It's in the blood, it's something historic. Plus in Australia, especially in a city like Melbourne, you have so much choice for watching sport it's mind-boggling.
@spiazo Completely agree. The crowd sensed it as well. Watch that last scrum again. Somerville wins it a tight head a split second before the push. Cipriani's just arrogant enough (and good enough) to let fly for a drop goal from the range anyway. How good was Gerrard in defence too? Rebels needed a reality check from the Waratahs who are towelling the Reds as well( Currently up 28-6). Round 1 could have been a distortion of true form.
Fuck'n whistle happy refferees should quit and give the game a boost..wat a mood killer... I hope they don't give that stupid reff a job in RWC, its not his first time making bullshit calls in RWC, international and super rugby.. tiny little control freak should be torn in two... hahaha thanx tony and excuse the french.. game still gets to me even hours after... thats why rugby is the best
And its over!!! NOO! ... YES!!!

@fuukafi35 the penalty the Rebels took for the win was a square-up for that god-awful forward pass the Kaplan missed from AAC to Speight.

@mormaer1 Mark Gerrard has to be in the Wallabies. He is better than Hynes. He would be my backup fullback to Beale.

I wonder what Mortlock said to Cripriani before he kicked that winning penalty.

@andrelegreatest
Mortlock said, "Make sure you don't miss this kick like I did in the RWC 2007 mate and I'll find you some pussy tonight"

Great game, what a finish. You have to like Stirling Mortlock, he lead them to that victory, courageous effort.
