Super Rugby 2017

Remind me why the kings and sunwolves are playing in am empty stadium in Singapore pls?

Some bullsh*t about growing the game I guess...

 

[Mortymoose]

I could muster a larger crowd down at the local rugby club in my desert town, ironically there are seven visiting teams in town for a tournament and the crowd in all likelyhood might be larger..

 

[Mortymoose]

Ugh! The kings strip looks like convict pj's

 

[Fulcrum29]

Sunwolves playing schit again, no commitment, centres holding on. Classic Stormers rugby.

 

[Fulcrum29]

I am happy for the Kings. The JRFU is not serious about the Super Rugby. The Sunwolves are nothing more than a marketing ploy for better television ratings.

 

[Fulcrum29]

The Sunwolves will not win or draw any game this season. Good win by the Kings.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Oh, Lions...

 

[mbayshark]

Rollercoaster rugby

 

[Fulcrum29]

Well played Lions. Australians are poor early in this competition, they need to pick up the slack.

 

[SlowInternet]

It's a win but Lions still making lots of mistakes.

 

[Fulcrum29]

The Stormers are not playing as well as they did against the Bulls in the opening 30min. Might have been de Allende which carried his line better...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Pyper is in full #myteamwillwin mode huh .......

 

[SlowInternet]

Not a nice win for the Stormers taking into account they played against 13 men for 10 minutes. They will have to do much better than this. Was thinking the Jaguares will go 1 game without a yellow and then in the 61st minute they got the first one.

 

[KOPITE]

Yeah, Stormers had a bad game, but still win.

 

[KOPITE]

Hope they can iron out all these issues before they play the better teams

 

[KOPITE]

Concentration levels and defending is the biggest concern atm.

 

[KOPITE]

They keep losing players with injuries every game which will haunt them down the line

 

[SlowInternet]

Concentration levels and defending is the biggest concern atm.

Agree. Same with the Lions. They will have a great move and score but then loose concentration and concede points immediately thereafter. But it's still early in the competition.

I am not entirely sure that the Stormers are a brand-new deal, last year they also pulled an 33-9 over the Bulls at Newlands. They also had a close call, 8-13, against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires. The Bulls closed them out in May with 17-13. Luckily, the Stormers are going up against the Kings next, it will give them a moment to test their depth as they may be missing a winger. The games thereon… only time will tell.

Bulls/Cheetahs game is very exciting, whoda thunk it.
