The "other" round 8 Super Rugby games

[Kruse]

@Stargazer Isn't there only 1 WC spot available from Africa? So those WC spots are correct - but another way in that the current system is a little confusing, and seems unfair (although I think most of it makes sense in a compromise sort of way).

@Kruse looking at the SA table you might be right.

[Stargazer]

@Kruse Yes, you're absolutely right. I got that wrong; the current format gives the Australasian group 3 wild cards and the African group only 1, which would go to the Sharks.

[Unco]

The best Aussie team has more losses than wins...

Fuck guaranteeing them a home quarter final is an absolute joke, may as well give Japan a guaranteed quarter final too.

Another team with a celebrity coach.

@Unco they should gift thier home semi to a real rugby team, ie one with more points

The Jaguares?

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer am cool with that!

The Kings.

A team only 2 years old, and a bit shit, have not earned the right to wear grey. Surely they actually need to build up an identity first before they can put out a nondescript grey alt kit.

Doesn't matter now. See ya later Spears.

SAFs black 'token/transformation' players in all the SR teams now actually seem to be quite good*.

Which is good.

*opion formed based on watching highlights only.

I quite enjoyed the Bulls v Jags game. Plenty of running. I like watching the Jags forwards as they try and get involved.

I found myself really frustrated at the scrums in the Stormers v Lions game. Seemed to be a lot of resets.

Timani gets 4 weeks. Should have received 6 minimum IMHO, no plea bargain.

Additionally he attacked someone's eyes and should have probably been done for that as well.
