I like seeing Aussie teams being smashed off the park by NZ teams as much as the next man… but gee super rugby is a boring, predictable competition.
Wouldn’t it be great to see 5 high quality, competitive games of rugby each week. Hell I’d even settle for one blowout a week and take 4 good games.
It’s been nothing but predictable for the most part this year. Have you even been watching Super Rugby?
Aussies just need to get better playing away.
Of course I’ve been watching.
Yes, the Canes being top and Crusaders being shit is not predictable.
My point is there are big blowouts every week, and most games you know who’s going to win, which in my opinion is boring.

That is case in almost evry comp in every sport in world. Close ones between top teams, and they beat others by a bit.

@Gunner there have been plenty of upsets this year. Plenty of awesome games mixed in with some average ones. The rugby has been a lot better this year than recent seasons because Aussie teams are winning again. Canes being top isn’t predictable, we haven’t been there for a few years, I’m just hoping it lasts.

@Machpants @Canes4life ah well, each to their own.
There are a few really good games, but on the whole, I’m finding super rugby boring.

Extra roll at the tackle by Grant, should've been penalty tahs. Try was nice tho
Yes, I was going to post that Waenga is very inconsistent refereeing the breakdown. He seems to conjure penalties out of thin air and ignore obvious ones.

@Dan54 yeah all teams seem to be really good like that. Good to see.
What I really like about what every player said was how much of an awesome environment Laidaw has created. Everybody fighting for a position just creates so much competition within a squad and it reflects on the field.

41-12, terrible blow out. I mean other comps Top 14 (41-18), URC (42-12, 40-9, 61-24), Premiership (38-17, 35-14), Top League (61-24, 63-19) it would never happen.
Results from last weekend
Not to forget from the copyrighted "greatest sporting comp in the world" that we must always compare NZ rugby with (the NRL for anyone who didn't get the reference
) 60-18, 54-20, 40-0 and some close 32-18 and 34-10.
