That's what you call just enough just in time.
Those kind of games are what I am talking about when I say NZ super teams need to play SA teams in super rugby!!
I know what you mean Dan but if that's the sort of game that was served up week in, week out not many people would watch it I don't reckon. Need to strike a balance.

Yeah sad but true. I think the current setup with Super Rugby strikes a good balance but. Enough of everything to keep most punters interested.I thought it was intense and good to watch but I know some people prefer a game like the reds cheetahs last night were defense was completely optional for 80 minutes.
It was intense. Stormers defence was tough, as always, but the Crusaders looked bereft in attack, especially in the first half. Dishing it laterally and slowly, no-one really changing the angle, really slow service from Heinz.I thought it was intense and good to watch but I know some people prefer a game like the reds cheetahs last night were defense was completely optional for 80 minutes.

Problem is, they aren't making much play. The attack in the Stormers 22 is so slow and lateral, really Tah-like (2010-12) and it stems from some really ponderous work from Heinz.
Hurrah Scoey you get it, I don't want us to just play SA teams, but we need to play them!I know what you mean Dan but if that's the sort of game that was served up week in, week out not many people would watch it I don't reckon. Need to strike a balance.

Is it hard to come up with such stupid comments gwerty?Why because currently NZ teams can beat SA but not Aus ones?
Carter missing from the action I think has more impact.
Pathetic by SANZAR referees. Zero consistency. Referring to the Burger penalty after being held onto, I agree with the decision but last week Fugistaller was sent off for retaliating to being held on.
Fuglistaller's retaliation was far closer to punching than Burger's. Burger only hit at the arm of the player holding on to him.
I am glad the Crusaders were penalised. It's poor to have situations where infringing players earn their team penalties.
Fuglistaller was stupid to punch back. In his situation, both players should have been yellow carded in my opinion.
Players get held like that all the time in scrums and rucks. Definitely a penalty but a YC would have been harsh IMO. An uppercut is almost always gonna be a card and I couldn't believe at the time how the Aussie commentators were going on about what a bad call that was.
