    Rebels were so bad for the first 15 or so, still struggled to just hold possession throughout the game. Good signs though.

    Good win for the Brumbies first up. Dominated the breakdown. Young Mogg has a decent bit of gas about him.

    Oh, and apparently O'Connor is getting his head shaved for charity. Doing himself a massive favour, tbh.

    Yeah he's getting it shaved. That hair was atrocious, made him look like a girl or should I say more so like a girl.

    Two decentish games in the first week. Got my predictions spot on.

    Can't say I've seen many worse than what he's got at the moment. Good on him for doing the whole charity thing though. I'm sure his parents wouldn't mind donating a few hundred to get rid of it.

    Brumbies Reds game - was an excellent display of rugby from what I saw of it. the Brumbies forwards operate well as a pack. Lock them in for the playoffs now barring injuries.

    Rebels / Force game - I had to switch over.

    Any thoughts on the Bulls this year? Been a bit out of the loop and SA sports press is currently filled with other stuff. Seems like a decent squad even though the quality has dropped at lock.

    They look solid. Just a stupid selection of Mapoe on wing and Engelbrecht on centre, should have been other way around, and they are missing Jacques Potgieter, their best ball carrier imo. Further than that, looking strong enough to upset any team any day!

    Btw: I HATE the Bulls.

    The Blues used shock tactics by initially naming a shitty side, then at the last minute bringing in the big guns. Should be an interseting game vs the Canes if they can shape this year.

    This game has really opened up now. End to end play. Great game. This is running rugby folks!!!!

    Far superior than you'd expect from a round 1 game. Sure things aren't perfect but fuck it's exciting.

    Amazing tries.

    How did Nonu do in his first outing at the 'Landers?

    Usual self. Held on to the ball a few times when he should have passed. Generally pretty well contained. Gained a few metres here and there, didn't do too much wrong.

    Super rugby needs to allow players to play for any franchise in the comp without international repercussions for me to respect the comp

    Disagree.

    Well why not? It fucking stupid having a comp between 3 countries teams but making countries only use their own players. Might swell just have the top 2 teams from each countries provincial tournies have a 6 team comp. It'd add a new dimension to player transfers aswell. No other tourney I know of uses a restriction like the s15 has

    Countries want to keep their own players in the country. I don't want to be supporting a Hurricanes side that is 75% Saffers and Aussies. With some exceptions most players are playing for their side.

    Good 1st half by the Canes but the Blues were just far too impressive in the 2nd. Canes missed tackles and it all fell apart as the Blues pounced.

    Seems to be a regular occurrence for the Canes in their first game.

    Barrett's tackling was horrid.

    Noakes did relatively well for the Blues. Always been a solid ITM cup performer. The Blues backs will be ripping second ass holes in teams this year.

    Good to see the Blues perform well. Unfortunately not so being a Canes supporter but nevertheless, next week against the Reds should be a much better performance by them.
