The "other" round 5 Super Rugby games
-
@cheetahsBO Yeah fair points. However it's very entertaining for a neutral.
-
Sunwolves in again from their own half! Leading 31 - 20.
And Bjorn Basson showing us why EVEN THE BULLS didn't want him anymore.
-
Referee wastes another 2 minutes checking a contest in the air. Nothing comes of it.
Feels like I'm watching an NFL game with all these stoppages

Sanzar deserve a bullet.
Japanese TMO says "not offside" "can award a try" in broken English to an Argentinian whose English isn't much better. Referee says "okay no try".
Idiotic at best
-
Stormers needed brawn to get them home in the end. Embarrassing more then anything I'd say even if they did win by 13 (so not to ruin everyone's multi's). Handful of good performances thrown in alongside terrible ball handling, shocking defence by Bulls imports Kriel & Basson and nothing innovative to show us they will compete against better sides.
Pick-and-go won't work against anybody else except maybe the Kings. Really embarrassed to have watched that and I look forward to the Lions giving me some faith in SA rugby again later on.

I couldn't believe that. Surely the video ref could have told him he had misunderstood when he went to the penalty.

Jaguares beat the Reds 22 to 8.
It's good to see the Jaguares going well. But there's a big down side. If they win their conference, it's likely that one of the NZ teams will have to travel very far for the quarter finals and that's a big disadvantage, especially because - if that NZ team wins - they have to make a huge trip back as well for the semis.

@NTA Hmm, yes, you're right. Should have looked it up first. Google tells me Johannesburg is 12,206 km away from Auckland, and Buenos Aires is 10,377 km. I guess it all depends on whether the NZ team has to board a tiny plane (like the Chiefs last year), after they arrive in Argentina, for a local flight.
