Dunno wht the guy is trying to show there? Considering he haven't mention their excellent rucking percentage. Then there is the fact that possession is not a guarantee of success. And the impact of the set piece also changed in 2009. Whereas over the lineout has been the major possession vehicle...

So I guess you have been under a rock? From top of you head who won the titles on those years. Also look how 5th team struggle then go up as it gets continuity Last thing watch the black slip down the table.

I have a better answer for you NZ starting Super 12 with 5 teams 2005 SA getting a 5th Team Super Ends 2010 Super Rugby Australia getting a 5th team 2013

By Crusaders standards they have been shit the past few years

Nonu shouldn't play Super Rugby. He carries a bad Oman with him. Sending them all to their doom.

Steyn ->Pollard Vermaak->Piet van Zyl Olivier->Serfontein Joe Pietersen->Taute Jantjies or Catrakilis? Keeping those players mean a lot of players from that u/20 JWC would have to sit on a bench as there are not enough teams to give them a place to play. Rhodes, Minnie would have done what if...

Yes because a Union can only afford xxx amount of top players. Stormers could make a bid for Taute and Jantjies because they can afford it as Habana is leaving as well us some other players. Bulls lost a lot of players because they can not. Kings or Lions can not employ them as their Super Rugby entry is...

Habana, Pietersen, Steyn, Ralepelle, Kruger, Jacques Potgieter, Vermaak, Kirchner, Andries Bekker, vd Heever, Louw, Ebershon, Joe Pietersen.......

Are the Force travelling East or West? If we really want to be nasty we let you Aussies fly in straight to Loftus and have your first game there 15h00 when the air is even more filled with tar. Bet your blokes would like that. But as I said earlier the real issue is us loosing our players as...

In constancy I mean were they allowed to build a team? They had to rebuild when they became the Lions. Cause two big unions had to share profits thus could not afford to keep top players. http://www.m24i.co.za/2012/02/17/how-golden-lions-lost-the-plot/ Tell me what team are going to do well...

First of all that is a ranking system which is based on the IRB model taking to all the games into account. Not the positions of each team on the log. 2ndly why do you think SA suggested more derby games? Because NZ and AUstralia were scratching their heads. How can SA teams have such a huge...

Yet those same teams have at least made a play off spot. Did the Lions and Cheetahs had any consistency? No or did your forget they were the Cats until 2006. The Kings in their first year beat the Force, Rebels away and drew at home with the Brumbies. Ending second or thrid from the bottom...

Considering the only team to have done it once was a team flying across a ditch and not across 10 time zones! 97 they were Nothern Transvaal. That was a provincial team pitted against a full franchise with the countries top players. SA had no chance! 2000 and 2002 Boo back at ya

The Brumbies victory at Loftus was only the seventh time in 59 play-offs a team could win any knock-out encounter on foreign soil. It happened once in 17 Finals when the Crusaders beat the Brumbies in 2000 and six times in 36 semi-finals (The Sharks beat Reds in 1996, Crusaders beat Reds in...

The Kings are the last of the traditional top 6 we used to see in the old CC. You would note also that PE, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Durban the big cities in their regions. We are not talking about increasing totals as they always remained on average the same its about...

This is their gains Gains: Warwick Tecklenburg – flank (Bulls) Marnitz Boshoff – flyhalf (Griquas) Kobus de Kock – fullback (Sharks/College Rovers) Franco Mostert – lock (Bulls) Jacques van Rooyen – loosehead prop (Pretoria Police) Hugo Kloppers – lock (Maties) (WP u/19, WP u/21, WP Vodacom...

you forgot to add the coach

I posted a picture of player totals and no one gave a comment on it but rather looking at the diversion of time travel. Is it unfair for SA to ask to add another team cause they have the player depth to do so? We gave Australia and NZ a chance to add teams that filled their full player quota to...

Didn't the Lions beat up that team

OMG that FS turf in the winter. You play on dirt with dead grass sprinkled over it over there. Not so soft like it would be down the coast. The low temps at night kills the grass in that regions
