Official 2015 Super Rugby Thread

Yeah, Os got a release to head to Japan early, and Naka doesn't want to continue without his full team. So Franco Smith is taking over from next week's game.

I think Apoc is saying that Naka would likely have been sacked end of the season and this is one way to leave with a bit more dignity.

Thanks OrbitalDawn. I sincerely hope that this is for the good of the team. After their highs of last year (or was that 2013?), this season has been a massive let down for Cheetahs fans. Go Cheetahs!

Sad to see him leave SA. One of the most under rated players who could have being used so much more if it was not for HM love of big forwards

One of the only guys who ever managed made Richie McCaw look average on a few occasions.

Was always one of my favorites but oh so injury prone.

Japanese rugby, at this stage, is not nearly as physical as SuperRugby and the reason he stays relatively injury free when over there.

I will never ever forget this match in PE where Habana's boot cut his face up, he went for stitches and played arguably the best match of his life.

I thought the Chiefs by 10. Didn't think that the Bulls would be up for this one. Even with the history between the two teams.

But hopefully I'll be wrong. I can't see the game but the score is looking positive!
