Super Rugby 2017

[KOPITE]

Hurricanes seems too have lost their mojo. Defense will cost them further down the competition.

 

[KOPITE]

Stormers against Chiefs is going to be a humdinger. I think the Stormers will be charged up and ready for the Chiefs this time.

 

[KOPITE]

The game will be determined by how good the Stormers defend, if they can hold out the Chiefs them they will win imo.

Barrett sees red, faces disciplinary hearing

Cape Town - Star Hurricanes flyhalf Beauden Barrett faces a disciplinary hearing after receiving a red card in their 38-28 Vodacom Super Rugby victory over the Waratahs in Wellington on Friday.

As it happened: Hurricanes v Waratahs

Barrett received two yellow cards in which he is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4(a) Intentionally Offending during the match at the Westpac Stadium.

Any player who receives two yellow cards in a match is automatically awarded a red card.

The Case is to be considered in the first instance by the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee which will take place on Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 11:00 (SA time) via video-conference.

Seeing the weather at Chichibunomiya tomorrow, windy and rainy. The Bulls may capitalise on this, enterprising games tend to go awry under these conditions. Stampkar rugby, this is what I am expecting the Bulls to pull out tomorrow.

With that kind of weather the Bulls should edge it. Just.

First real tester for the Stormers this season and its a tough one. Not sure if they will pull this one off. Will probably pick against them.

Late change for the Sharks as Garth April is out with injury:

Inny Radebe will earn his first Super Rugby start tomorrow when he wears the number 10 jersey for the Sharks against the Jaguares at Kings Park.

Rob du Preez has lost Garth April to an unspecified injury ahead of the game and has thus reshuffled his back division, with Curwin Bosch moving to the last line of defence and Radebe coming up off the bench.

Rhyno Smith, who has yet to see action this season, has been promoted to the match 23.

Sharks: 15 Curwin Bosch, 14 Kobus van Wyk, 13 Lukhanyo Am, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Lwazi Mvovo (vice captain), 10 Inny-Christian Radebe, 9 Cobus Reinach, 8 Daniel du Preez, 7 Jean-Luc du Preez, 6 Tera Mtembu (captain), 5 Stephan Lewies, 4 Etienne Oosthuizen, 3 Coenie Oosthuizen, 2 Franco Marais, 1 Beast Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 Thomas du Toit, 18 Lourens Adriaanse, 19 Ruan Botha, 20 Philip van der Walt , 21 Michael Claassens, 22 Jeremy Ward, 23 Rhyno Smith.

[mbayshark]

@fanie Wahaha must be, there can be no other reason.

 

[Agent_Smith]

I think Ludeke is coaching in Japan now, so they probably roped him in due to his time with the Bulls.
