Well, our players don't understand a **** of english either (despite some of them played in England), so no surprise the TMO doesn't.
Pathetic performance, the worst in all of the competition so far. They didn't do a single thing right.
I don't say pathetic. I watch Super Rugby since many years ago and this is a weird season. I mean, always the NZ conference is the strongest conference but they usually have 3 strong teams and 2 weaks teams or something like that. This year they have 5 strong teams, this is not common even for NZ. The Chiefs and the Landers used to be weak teams. The Blues don't win the tournament since the 90s.
Even the Aussies with a lot of experience playing this competition have been smashed by the Kiwis and the South African have played less games against the Kiwis sides. The Jaguares have played against all the Kiwis teams in this weird season. I'm not sure is this is going to repeat in the next season, the 5 NZ franchises playing at this level, even the Blues, the weakest NZ team can beat any SA/OZ team this year. The only SA team that can compete against NZ sides is Lions ATM.
Next season the Jaguares are going to face the Aussie teams and would be a more competitive challenger and I can't imagine the 5 NZ franchises playing at this level in 2018 again.
In the most succesfull SR season for the NZ conference, we had to face all of them. Even Brumbies and Waratahs, the best Aussie franchises have been smashed by the Kiwis this year.
