    Just enjoy what? it is a skewed competition because we play our on region twice but everyone else once or not at all like the crusaders and the reds.

    If you want to enjoy it you need to make it fair everyone plays each other once or play each other twice no in between.

    Then you need to remove the regions or make it a bigger pool and not play the other regions till the playoffs like 7-8 per region home and away which would then cancel out our top tier npc and the next tier could promote into it

    Super 15 could be done so much better then it currently is and it is pathetic that they aren't looking into how they could merge it with the respective regions next tier OR make it a fairer playing field so stronger regions like SA and NZ dont have their teams cancelling each other out due to the strength of the opposition they play weak in weak out.

    Player analysis:

    Kerr Barlow star performance possibly the difference between the teams. No mistakes I can recall. As soon as he went off his replacement Pulu immediately gave away a blatant penalty for being on the wrong side of a ruck - so blatant you have to wonder if he had money on the red and black.

    Ngatai lived up to his billing and didn't let the team down without doing anything phenomenal although he did get back in cover defence and stop a try early doors.

    Carter - vs Cruden - Carter honestly played better specifically less aimless kicks. Cruden with the better running game though.

    Sam Whitelock dominant in the line out first half, Retallick fought back in the 2nd half. Hika Elliot will not be getting any phone calls from the ABs any time soon after his throwing performance.

    Chiefs loose forwards were better than their counterparts despite a great game from Read. Sam Cane with some Johnny on the spot plays when he came on. And it was George Whitelock who got run over by Masaga on the way to the critical try.
    Cantabs wings were poor despite one good run from Guildford.

    Ellis average game outplayed by TKB as mentioned earlier.

    OK I thought you were hating on the whole competition rather than just the format. Doesn't bother me tbh... but fair enough.

    Suck it, Crusaders.

    And I'm with Jabba on the Super Rugby tournament. Australia are by far the biggest beneficiaries from it. RSA and NZ could survive without Super Rugby - Australia couldn't.

    As to the match, I don't think Hurricane can accuse Steve Walsh of home town bias either. If anything, I thought (as a neutral) he was biased in favour of the Crusaders.

    Really reckon there should be local competitions with a bigger, concentrated world league style tournament replacing the superrugby/european trophy. One that requires superrugby sides to qualify.
