That's why I was specifically looking at the likes of him and Reinach. Kolisi was ok, another one I eyed today

Yeah, Kolisi was decent. I just don't know what happened to their supposed emphasis on skills. I mean, that is why they brought a New Zealander in right? The start of the season was full of angled runs and deft offloads. Now it's back to tuck the ball under the arm and charge. At this rate, they are going to face the Hurricanes in the knock-outs. And they're going to get smashed!

Let's not forget the Lions v Kings game tomorrow, I think we are going to see some wonderful rugby on both sides

I think it's a matter of back2basics before they csn try to be fancy again.

I must have backed the Cheetahs as well as soon as I have seen the team announcements. The Sunwolves are mucking around, it is depressing to see them rise one team but then go down with another. The squad is simply too big and they do have their reasons. I am only hoping to see that 2018 under the new synchronised competition cycle that they will have adequately rested players, should they repeat 2017 then they must be chucked. Currently they are damaging to the competition, even their positive pundits criticised them to nothingness seeing how they played today.

Tiatia is not a Super Rugby coach, this team would have had better continuity under Mark Hammett, the best option is to contract Panasonic to pull Robbie Deans in as head coach or the Japanese coach at Suntory which has been nothing less than a winner.

Well done to the Cheetahs, may this be an end to their drought.

Went to watch the Sharks game after not being there for a few years, was fun to experience it live again.

Quick question, does anyone know whether the Barbarian vs England game is broadcasted by SuperSport tomorrow?

I bloody hope so. They have been pretty pathetic so far this year.


Anyhow. How do the Bull's supporters feel about John Mitchell as coach? Never ever thought I would see the day where the Bulls are coached by a Kiwi.
