Smylie Barrett Taylor Hayward/Bateman Smith Savea Jane Wont be the worst backline the the comp, still strong than the highlanders
Every season we come in with a good squad...we never can do it. This season we're coming in with a mediocre squad, now if you follow the trend we're going to do well this time around.
Thats pretty awesome. I loved it when all 4 played for Canterbury at the same time, imagine being a commentator .
Every post in here I loled,because an Australian team won the super rugby. Yet not a single Aussie has shown any real care for the comp. The Reds are guns though, I doub we can go around a second time though.
Which I got over before we even got to the third place game. Aussies just don't care about Union very much. It is a sport for private school boys to play and thats about it.
OMG an Aussie won the cup, thats 3 now, unlike us Kiwis who have won it a total of 10/16 times and the Crusaders have won it 7/16 times.
Haskell to the Highlanders!!! Yusss!!!! He should come back a much better player. He's gonna be on the bench though
25 rounds of Super Rugby. Far too long IMO. I'm gonna get bored of it halfway through. The talent is too diluted these days. Was better as Super 12. Should never have added the Force and Rebels.
I've always liked the force. They introduced James O'Connor as a 17 year old so they're ok in my book. Rebels not so much.
NZ playing Ireland was confirmed ages ago. As was the break for the internationals. Super 15 teams playing international teams will be a bit of fun to watch I guess. Gotta agree with Heath though. A 24 week competition is just insane. The finals aren't until August. Ages away. I like how teams play 2 games against teams within their own region but I hate how there's the whole NBA style format. It just doesn't suit. I'd much prefer just a top 8 go through to the quarters and then semis and finals. You can't do the whole play 2 games thing with local teams if you had that format however. Every team plays 16 games. It is just getting a bit excessive now.
