Official Super Rugby Thread 2012

The Sharks, our perennially over-hyped and under-achieving team. At least they make the Superbru picks easy. Time for a new coach maybe?

The hype only comes from the anti-Sharks brigade ...... with so many injuries and players that shouldn't be there and disillusionment with the coaching staff, many supporters knew that 2012 was going to be painfully mediocre.
 
Stormers showing that despite the refs bias they can over come. Tiaan's turnover looked perfectly legitimate from my armchair....
 
Problem was, the infringements leading up to that made it seem worse than it was ..... under no final warning conditions, it would have probably only been a penalty, I mean, he did lose his footing and continue to play the ball.
 
Booing during goal kicks! Although stormers fans are guilty of this themselves, I find it in bad taste. And it happened to Peterson during that hiding they dished out to the HLs (should I say hiding? I think so...)

The idiot with the teeth mentioned it afterwards and the commentators (Toks I think) said he hopes the Loftus crowd does not do it. I can't remember when last I heard such at Loftus (during goal kicks, that is) I wish that people would actually go to the games and understand how this is such poor form. Nothing can be done about it though...
 
Man what a gorgeous almost-try by the Cheetahs now ...... just just brushing that touch line :)
 
I lol'd so hard at that Crusader fail ...... how doff to try kick a ball away in your goal area instead of just falling on the ball :D
 
Ref has allowed the Highlanders a couple of forward passes as well.

+1
I remember the Stormers getting away with a blatant forward pass, but gees, the Highlanders got away with quite a few. Every time you heard the Kiwi commentators say "flat pass" - at least 25% were forward. But luckily the Stormers don't have players who throw their arms up and scream at the the ref, losing concentration at the contact points.

Definitely a few incidents of dirty play by Haskell, but the youngsters took it, ie. 2 x forearms to Etzebeth's face in 1 ruck and he just stands up to it and tunes the oke. "Bakkies with brains" they call Eben down here and I believe it more every time I see him play.
 
Try of the weekend?

Must be this one! Biggest dummy in the history of the game!!
