2011 Super Rugby (Super 15) thread

Another klap for the Lions ... Just so sad for 'em :(
 
That was a classy performance from the Cheetahs.

Just got home from the stadium. I am really starting to feel bad for John Mitchell. In our post match interviews you could really see he is down and out. And I can't blame him.

He is a good coach but the Lions do not have the players or the mindset to play his type of game.

Anyway!

CHEETAHS!!!!!!!
 
3 away wins yesterday.
2 home wins so far today...
Another 2 home wins to follow???

Hopefully! :D

Jean DV vs Sonny Bill-Williams... an enticing prospect! Fourie will be better than Freun.

The Sharks shouldn't have a problem against the Brumbies - if the Sharks do lose, then they are very bad this year.
 
Thug play backfired this week ;)

Couldn't even beat a severely weakened Crusaders...
 
What the hell were those substitutions from the Stormers???!!! :mad::mad::mad:. Seriously, you cost yourselves the game. Fourie for a no name outside centre? Duvenage for januarie? Wow.. just wow. Oh well, better luck next time guys. Good game.

Fourie was injured...

Must be a Sharks supporter ;) - don't get too chirpy, I remember the Crusaders thrashing the Sharks! :D

But yes, rather embarrassing. Guildford, SBW and Freun were the only players who normally form part of the backline. I expected more.

Stormers without Grant and Habana son injuries effected both teams.

You can't really compare the two though. Dan Carter, McCaw & Dagg are huge play-makers and have a far bigger effect on the game that Habana and Grant. In fact, Habana hasn't been too good this season so I really do not see it as a loss. Grant is obviously a loss...but that's 1 player vs. 3 for the Crusaders. They also lost Adam Whitelock which led to a bizarre situation where a loose forward came on for a back.

EDIT: Of course they also lost Maitland and that scrumhalf whose name I can't spell, but I wouldn't call those "huge" losses.
