I see questions are now started being asked about the Jaguares fielding the national team in a provincial competition.

I saw that too, unsurprisingly from Phil Kearns. I'll bet he wasn't moaning when the Jaguares were getting caned week in and week out.

Stormers played absolutely beautiful again

The Highlanders announced that Tony Brown will return to them in 2020, don't know in which capacity. The Sunwolves since every year in Super Rugby had a new coach. Other rumours have it that Jamie Joseph may also pack up when he is done with the Rugby World Cup.

Sad. The Sunwolves should have kept The Hammer or Tiatia. They are more miserable than the Western Force.

Draw for the Bulls. Didn't see the game but I suspect they might be pretty happy with that, given that most had written them off; particularly with no Pollard or Thor. Seems that the Blues had a kick at the death to win but they butchered it.

So much senseless kicking from the Bulls, once again, even on attack in the opponents 22
Probably a good result for the Bulls, even though the Blues got away with what looked like obstruction before the Ioane try.

What a stunning game from Chiefs.

It's rigged.

I'm not sure when this happened but Mapoe has worked a lot on his technique and has almost become a really good outside centre.

Lionel’s been quality for ages now.

Difference is the structure and brand of rugby the Lions play, compared to what we normally serve up in green.

In a red and white jumper he often gets the ball and is free to play what’s in front of him... in a green jumper, DDA gets the ball and runs straight into the opposition 10, 12 and 13 while Lionel gets to watch that happen for 80 minutes.

Happy with the Lions bonus point win

Imagine being fifth in the morning and second that same evening... Oh, wait.

Great rugby by Crusaders

 

[Agent_Smith]

Seems like the Crusaders will be keeping their name for next year but their logo will change.

Something like this.

Well...

crusader
/kruːˈseɪdə/

noun
noun: crusader; plural noun: crusaders; noun: Crusader

1. 1.
   a fighter in the medieval Crusades.
   synonyms:campaigner, fighter, battler; More
2. 2.
   a person who campaigns vigorously for political, social, or religious change; a campaigner.
   "crusaders for early detection and treatment of mental illnesses"

they can change it to a politician, maybe Jacinda Ardern? #JustSaying

I still believe they going overboard with the identity change, all new brand in 2021. Check, once they change identity, some people are going to argue their stadium name to change as well. It was recently debated by some to change the city name to Garden City. The attackers are having their way...

Anyway, OT.

The rebel defence was shît. Their rush, drift whatever they tried to do basically played right to the crusaders strength leaving easy gaps out wide.

Going to be interesting to see if Braydon Ennor or Sevu Reece play their way into a black jersey. They've both been on fire this season.

Not a good day for Australia vs NZ SR teams...

Aus sides 20 - 108 NZ sides
