Official 2015 Super Rugby Thread

I had a terrible start to the superbru predictor league (compared to fantasy where I have done well consistently). Think I was in the bottom 80% of all superbru after 3 rounds. Improved since then so hoping that trend continues. I went:
Canes
Rebels (will be close but gut says Rebels will finally get a win at home)
Chiefs
Brumbies
Sharks (If they play like they did last week they will lose. Hope they improve much like the Bulls did against the Crusaders. Picked with my heart in the hope they will come good)
Lions (Honestly think they could be higher up the log if they didn't play stupid rugby at the start of the season. Although their tour was against 3 of the bottom 5 sides. Went with gut on this one).
 
A *** call by the ref on one side.... Now a try on the other side.

And then some people complain when coaches and captains say it was a small thing that changed the game completely.
 
Hurricanes getting away with murder at the breakdown. Yet to see somebody on their feet and not coming in on the angle.
 
I have no words...

None for the soft Stormers defence, none for the superb Hurricanes offence and none for that guy with the whistle.
 
The only explanation I have for this ref's decisions is that somebody slipped him brandy-filled Easter eggs...
 
Stormers forwards and Damian putting it great work to pull the Stormers back.

Their fitness will be put to the test though. Hurricanes have shown this whole season that they are a 80min team. And they are so dangerous from anywhere on the park.
 
Great second half but just left themselves too much to do. De Allende is a freakin machine. Surely the starting 12 for the RWC.
 
Good comeback by the Stormers. But not enough to undo all the damage from the ref in the first half.

Hurricanes remain unbeaten.

Duane and Schalk switch to Hulk mode when they get angry. Great performance from them and also the tight 5.

Great 2nd half from the Stormers!!! Agreed, a neutral ref and they might have won it!!

Lots to be positive about! Damien, Steven, Vincent, Schalk, Duane, Leydts(sic), Van Wyk, Jones...
