You could add Jantjies to the list. He's fit and firing except when he dons the green jersey, then he's only fit.

Coaching?

Corné Fourie starting, the lions scrum is going backwards.

Also, Akker is not the best scrummager. but 17, 16.18

Coaching?

So true that!

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Yikes. Hurricanes hammering the Brumbies in the second half. 42 unanswered points, after leading 21-14 at half time.

I see Sungoliath will play the Waratahs on 11th June in Tokyo. Will make an interesting game, may prove my point that the top Top League teams are better conditioned, coached and prepared than the Sunwolves. Then again, I doubt that either these two teams will play their best players on the day. Suntory has already made their captain available to the JRFU.

 

[Badprop_za]

Coaching?

Absolutely. Even look at the year he spent at the Stormers under AC.
Not sure but there might be something personal going on. Players are not buying into AC's philosophy and there is a serious lack of leadership.

Nz teams toying with the opposition. Their dominance in this comp is both prolific and demoralizing. If it weren't for the conference format they would most likely finish will 3-4 teams in the semis. Unreal.

 

[Fulcrum29]

I only hope that the Kings will pull one over the Waratahs, it will be well deserved. The Kings has really upped the ante, and it has been rewarding.

[Arzy]

Go the other team!

 

[Fulcrum29]

This is not a spectacular display of rugby from either side, many mistakes, but if both teams clean up their act I would not be surprised to see the Kings being the better team today. 40 more minutes to go.

This Kings side is 1 or 2 big signings and 2-3 seasons away from being a really competitive side. Actually really unlucky for them that they being cut this year. They playing an attractive and enterprising style of rugby. Really hope this European deal comes off for them.
