I am, I've stated my opinions without being snarky and shallow. Like all of the others in this thread

Cool, so long as you are done, then we can get back to the actual topic.

Cool. If you are done with your attitude, its all good.

I do NOT mean this in a derogatory manner at all, but the size of the front rowers in some (most) womens rugby teams, amazes me. They are huge ladies, dwarfing the women even in the second row. When I watch a back tackling one, I almost cringe.

Wombat1: The only one here who I think is ruining a perfectly good thread is you tdgeek.

Networkn is probably the only one that really keeps it civil and always provides good insight to the games. I appreciate reading his posts.

If this is a rugby thread then who started bleating about the Warriors, and all their fans running to watch the AB's?? At best its shallow, but given his occasional negative "visits" to the Warriors thread, same thing. Yes, he is a huge fan of the AB's, and has a lot of knowledge, but each time there is s loss there is the same antsy attitude. If a team/player wins or loses, it "should" still be a discussion. Inevitably there are excuses. While there can be justifibvake excuses, its usually outthought and outplayed. At elite level its more often between the ears. But if its better here to bleat and criticise another sport, well, there you go

The only issue there was, was when goosey came in here after an AB's loss to suggest people support the Warriors. If it happened in reverse there would be understandable outrage. In case you missed it, the only reference to the Warriors came from:

 

Goosey:
Up the Wahs ! 

 

You can join the WahGone if you have given up on the AB's

 

All Welcome.

 

Antsy attitude? From me? You seem to be having a comprehension failure. How about you read the last 50 pages and see who is reasoning the AB's current position in the world rankings and calling for calm when most are ready to stick the coaches head on a spike. 

After today's loss, I was disappointed, but not that surprised, so no attitude from me. I don't consider it the end of the world, same as all the other losses this cycle. You are clearly reading what suits your own prejudice and narrative. You've made something out of nothing and all of this was totally unnecessary.

Just stop digging yourself a hole. There are discussions after every loss. If you don't like the nature of the discussions, feel free to close your Rugby Union tab and find another thread that suits you better. 

Now, can we please stop and get back to the match and the team?

Wombat1: True fans don’t like to see their teams lose. That’s understandable.

Get off your high horse.

Of course they dont. And it is. But if it gets childish over a loss, thats not sport. True sports fans embrace it, you can see why a team/player lost, thats sport. Invariaby its due to your team failed and/or the other was superior. Aside from a tight game where the ref could be the reason.

To others who watched the opener on Stan, did any of you get your 4K stream? I think the best I got was 1080p. It didn't look as sharp as many of the other matches I've watched on Stan. Hopefully, they sort it quick. 

Was Aussie Commentators on Stan, who was it on Sky? I haven't checked on my Sky recorder as yet. I was under the impression the commentators would be whomever the host broadcaster had arranged.

IMO a great decision to have Blackadder join the AB's as injury cover. He played out of his skin last week.

100% agree - there were too many wingers to start with and Cane going down showed how light we are on loosies.
