Super 15

xor · 21st February 2011, 10:43

Soo....First round done and dusted.

GG the blues and Highlanders and for shame shame shame on Nonu. He is capable of some serious magic but happened to him on the weekend? Not a good start to the year.

My vote would be for SBW and Stanley tbh. The guy runs some pretty good lines and defensively is a rock.

How bout dem highlanders

Yeah the Highlanders pulled a Bulls on the Bulls! No match winning forward pass for the Bulls this time. Macintosh put a shocking red card offense tap out of du preez's hands yards from the try line to make it look like he knocked it on to end the game hehehe go Whopper!

xor · 28th March 2011, 11:16

Looks like Nonu isn't having a good season. SBW on the other hand, BAM!

BoyWonder · 28th March 2011, 11:18

Still wish SBW would drop the big hit no arm tackles... he was lucky to only get penalised for this morning's one.

Yep 'knock on nonu' is back! and SBW just gets better and better

Ab · 28th March 2011, 13:35

SBW porn.

Lucky not to get carded all right.

Lord Pidgington · 28th March 2011, 23:11

Great footage. I'm now sold on him locking down #12 for the World Cup.

Meh on the yellow card. I never feel sympathy watching a dirty South African cop a shoulder charge given their historic tendency to issue them.

StN · 11th April 2011, 22:24

So how injured did that Bull get when he ran into the Cantab beard of awesome?

Sure I heard his face break the first time around.

All sorts of AWESOME!

ZoSo · 12th April 2011, 18:29

The Cantabs have been fantastic of late. It's almost like watching league!

mr selfdestruct · 13th April 2011, 13:24

Yeah I'm pretty keen on a SBW/Conrad combo in the midfield at the moment. Still need the defense and brains of Conrad if the AB's are up against it. I still remember when they put Toeava/Nonu in the midfield thinking the sheer strength and power would be effective but when it wasn't they had no ideas of what else to do, it was pretty pathetic really.

xor · 13th April 2011, 21:21

I'm at a loss with SBW. He's brilliant, but I'm not sure if he has the smarts. Mind you he's made 29 offloads in the super 15 so far, the second best offloader has only made 15. So he's definitely a 12.

xor · 19th April 2011, 14:16

I'm impressed with Adam Thomsons' performance. He'd be starting 6 in the AB's and put Kaino on after 50min. Thomson has a huge workrate.

_Incubus_ · 24th April 2011, 10:08

Fuck, tips for this week were for shit...

badassmofo · 25th April 2011, 18:48

I'm still killing it.

Welcome back Reuben Thorne!

_Incubus_ · 1st May 2011, 09:21

Is it just me that thinks Quade Cooper is SO overrated? Watching last nights game against Wgtn he was hiding at wing all night on defense, and the contact he did make was woeful, half hearted tackling. Sure the guy can attack the line like no bodies business but a smart international team will run at him all night.

wugambino · 1st May 2011, 09:45

yep his defense is awful thats what england did when they thrashed the aussies at the end of year tour.

good to see cruden running it to the line and the hurricanes playing with a bit of pride!

mr selfdestruct · 2nd May 2011, 15:26

In fact the commentators made a point of the fact that Cooper sits out on the wing on defence :P

xor · 6th May 2011, 10:44

What is with players after they've been tackled and throwing the ball up to their team-mates?

Isn't it playing the ball?

PhX · 6th May 2011, 12:33

Two good matches this weekend, perfect sit inside/pub weather watching the game, having a bud

I never thought about that. It's probably against the rules but I'd rather see the refs allow it.

badassmofo · 8th May 2011, 21:48

nah pretty sure you're able to make one movement with the ball on the ground, either placing it out, or passing it up to another player.

xor · 8th May 2011, 22:24

If you're tackled you're supposed to release the ball...

Doesn't happen though. Don't understand. Yay. Rugby law interpretation day.

andre · 12th May 2011, 10:33

"A tackled player must immediately pass the ball or release it. That player must also get up or move away from it at once."

http://www.irblaws.com/EN/downloads/ Rule 15.5 b)

xor · 12th May 2011, 12:10

Ah I see. Very cool

Reds v Blues tomorrow. I'm calling the blues to win

BWDOWN · 21st May 2011, 22:43

Does anyone else disagree with the conference system?

Not every team plays every other team so that's unfair then also aussie teams and SA teams to a degree get an easier ride

Thoughts?

_Incubus_ · 23rd May 2011, 16:04

Why did I fall in to the "Blues are contenders this season" BS?.....grrrrr

xor · 30th May 2011, 11:52

I'm sorry Blackadder but McCaw getting pinged is a little bit of karma for the amount of illegal steals he makes in all the other games he plays.

Deal with it son.

Fucken Blues tonight. They played like they were only there out of contractual obligation

BoyWonder · 5th June 2011, 11:13

Get rid of Ranger IMO... Oh and kicking a 55m penalty does not give you superpowers McAlister.

xor · 1st July 2011, 13:16

Thank God Brett is the blues, bring on Anscombe at 10 and Nonu at 12.

w00t

CCS · 1st July 2011, 14:15

NNOOOOOOOOOONNNUUUUUUUUUU!!!

What a shame SBW didn't come play for the Blues.

xor · 1st July 2011, 14:31

SBW is still potentially on the cards.

CCS · 1st July 2011, 15:04

I thought he went to the Chiefs? I'm not really keeping up with the news.
SONNY WILL BILLIAMS 4 AKL

xor · 1st July 2011, 16:55

SBW is definitely not a 13. He's purely a distributor, 12 f0 shure.

But word is that he doesn't like chch because of the quakes and that he misses his mother.

Heresy · 3rd July 2011, 00:19

Blues are gonna need a lot more than just SBW to do well. This semi has been painful...

mr selfdestruct · 4th July 2011, 12:30

At least they finally made a semi final for the first time in 4 years, that's an achievement, Pat Lam has done well.

o9 · 4th July 2011, 19:39

So they're almost back to the point they were when he first took over
