very equitable and fair-play decision from giteau you don't biase a competition because of empathy reds shouldn't have provocate the penalty end of the story
Pride in your job and your jersey demands you don't leave any points on the field. It was the right thing to do. Otherwise where would it end? Teams out of contention giving their countrymen an easy ride to a home final?
What the fuck is wrong with you people? how is this un-australian? this is a competition for fucks sakes. These teams aren't mates, they're rivals. Good on you Matt for taking the shot.
Why is everyone having a go at Gitts here? He's done nothing wrong except play a game of rugby. Simple! I stil think Gitts needs to be in the starting XV for the wallabies or at least on the bench. We need another playmaker in the back line (cant let Cooper do all the work). McCabe (who I rate highly) is a good ball runner but he's not a playmaker. Beale's position is fullback and I think Deans has to play JOC on the wing with the absence of Mitchell.
i think it was good because brumbies won witn 8 points mora than reds so this makes reds doesn't get the bonus point so brumbies has the opportunity to get the first place
Sohail Sabar I mean it's subjective. Going for goal creates a chance of rebounding off the post and the reds winning so it is a tad cocky but at the same time it steals the reds bonus point
+TeifiValley123 Yeah, basically if you only lose by less than 7 points, you get a bonus point as a consolation. But Giteau's kick put them out of this range
@UrbanRedBull Rubbish. To not take the shot would be paramount to match fixing. And that is at best unprofessional and at worst, blatant cheating. I am a proud Australian and I say to cheat is un-Australian. Get real!
Moore shouldn't have acted like that but to say "shut the fuck up, I'm the captain" is attracious. Also, in the context it wasn't the right decision, in fact very unprofessional. The Brumbies had nothing to gain as they were well out of contention. Very slim chance but if it hits the posts and the Reds regather, they have a chance to score and win the game. If it was a Bledisloe Cup decider what would you do??
Don't think this was the wrong decision at all, easy kick for a kicker of his standard and why hand a good opposition 1 point? What he said to Moore was too harsh and wouldn't gain him any respect but these decisions are the captains call- he doesn't need or want 14 players telling him their differing opinions, that's his role on the pitch. In my opinion.
shop3400 at that stage in the competition, the knocked out teams' almost sole motivation is fucking with other teams' season so I fully understand why they chose to steal the bonus point. In a Bledisloe decider (assumably not a Rugby Championship game) they’d have kicked the ball out because they had nothing to gain. Different situations. Pretty simple
@44redman1 No, that is the Australian spirit, that's NSW vs QLD, if you don't get that... well that's rugby viewers from a modern world. Dude you are being culturally insensitive... Queensland vs New South Wales...
Hello Matt Giteau. Remember this moment. Your fall from Grace began here. Next thing u know, Stephen Moore is scoring at the Tri-Nations game vs Springboks while u sit on ur sore thumb at home eating cheetos on a pink bean bag while u practise the phrase, I AM THE CAPTAIN!!! Guess what Matt, I am Rick James Bitch, one of the baddest motherfuckers of all time. Enjoy yourself!
For an *Australian*, I thought Giteau was very polite
Matt Giteau is the best Australian I've ever seen
very equitable and fair-play decision from giteau
you don't biase a competition because of empathy
reds shouldn't have provocate the penalty
end of the story
hardly, moore shouldnt be questioning his decision as the captain
Moore was always a gobshite, wish the occasional referee had said the same to him!
One of unions greatest of all time! Hello from Papua New Guinea!

passion right there.
beautiful
@achillesled yeah good on him for taking the points

The teammate shouldn't talk like that at the first place. You gotta do what you gotta do.
man you gotta respect rugby players, they take shit and just get on with it, unlike pretty-much-every-other-sport players
How would you have him say it?
Haha funny shit. Good on him as well. It is a competition
i think it was good because brumbies won witn 8 points mora than reds so this makes reds doesn't get the bonus point so brumbies has the opportunity to get the first place
Lol
@pilotmburu no need to hate that much mate
@jokesare By your logic they should have thrown the whole match, made sure the Reds got 5 points and finish in the top two.
@CillBill91 he is the captain
Tyrone Smith called it first. Eye of the tiger!
at the end of the day, super rugby isnt about your country. its about where you a from in that country, where you were raised, ya know ?
les cerro el orto giles la metio ...giteau te sigo bancando hasta la muerte
1.51 ,wonder what they said lol.
@pilotmburu and i bet every single aussie is wishing he was in the aus squad... i hope cooper plays like his normal shit self tonight
lol
Taking the Reds out of bonus point range.
yeah but the brumbies were in their 22 so.. just saying
and the reds one the whole series! HA!
Giteau made the right call, but that isn't how a captain should address teammates
Sohail Sabar I mean it's subjective. Going for goal creates a chance of rebounding off the post and the reds winning so it is a tad cocky but at the same time it steals the reds bonus point
i know this is a bit outdated, but they had won the game and the clock was in the red. What did he gain by taking 3 extra points?
Denying the Reds the losing bonus point

Yeah, basically if you only lose by less than 7 points, you get a bonus point as a consolation. But Giteau's kick put them out of this range
Imagine if he hit the post and the Reds collected and ran it back . ...

I think you are overstating Giteau's kicking ability a bit, I've seen him miss easier ones than this.

@Dausaua yeah but he's an absolute nob in the way he deals with Moore
