Super Rugby 2017: matches not involving Australian teams

[Pedrolicus]

Bulls got pinged for it earlier in the half but, yeah, it's becoming a rarity.

Haha, I picked a bad time to mention it. But with the Blues fella knocking on then regathering from the ground, surely that goes from knock on to penalty.

Still sloppy, but they've finally started running at space instead of at big slabs of South African meat.

 

[Pedrolicus]

What an elastic man style grab by the blues winger, well deserved try.

Odd reasoning from the TMO there. Clearly held up but still allows it to be awarded.

 

[HJ Nelson]

What genius from the Bulls forgot that the Blues play in blue jerseys?

It's the referee I feel sorry for: ' Hands off blue 7. No, not you. The other blue 7.'

Did he not say there was no clear evidence of a grounding? I initially thought it was a penalty try on the grounds the Bloos tackler was never onside but then the Bulls guy took the conversion so clearly not. Strange all round. Almost as strange as taking Pollard off bang on 60 minutes, his boot was pretty much all the Bulls had going for them & once he left it was Game Over, Man!

I'm mostly just glad that my vigorous & sincere rooting for the Queen City Latteboys didn't jinx them.

poor blues having to play the hardest draw in super rugby, see what happens when we play non kiwi teams,

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^^ Clan fans will beg to differ but, yeah, you've got the next-worst draw of the NZ teams.

[Upthenuts]

can we at least agree that all kiwi teams have a hard go playing each other twice

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^ thems that do, fo' sure; thems that don't, not so much.........

So NZ is now 9-0 against international opponents this season. Who will be the first to blemish the national record? All five are playing in Australasia next round, so there's a real chance that it'll be 14-0 by the end of next weekend.

Alternatively the Highlanders WWI level casualty ward might catch up with them, and/or the Blues may spontaneously Chernobyl themselves. Though both are at home, so should be favourites for both matches. Outside of those two matches, I don't see the trend-setting Chiefs, Hurricanes or Crusaders losing to the Bulls, Reds or Waratahs, respectively.

Lots of arrogance from the Kiwis. Will be nice to see at least the Bulls stand up and give them a match.

 

[PaarlBok]

Lions vs Sharks this weekend will be a vital game for both teams. They are fighting with the Pumas for a top spot. If the Bulls lose again and the Stormers put away the Cheetahs at Newlands, they will open a nice gap at the top of their conference. Hope they keep their current form and beat a few Kiwi teams. Stormers have a few talented youngsters up their sleave. Wish Fleck can give them more playtime iso using the kak from the Bulls he got.

Next week Blue will be giving us a South African perspective which is fitting as there's two SA derbies & Chiefs v Bulls on the menu.
