Preview, Review and all things rugby
Sunwolves vs Hurricanes: This was a very exciting game, although it was very one sided it has been a while since I saw one team playing such lovely running rugby and at some stage I even started feeling sorry for the losing team because there was literally nothing they could do to stop relentless pressure...

Highlanders vs Rebels: The first game of the day between the Highlanders and the Rebels was a welcome upset and gave a bit of life to the Aussie conference. The Rebels came out of the blocks very quickly like they usually do, but this time they held on to that start and grinder out the... Continue Reading →
One of the games I am most looking forward to this weekend is going to be this one. The Blues who is coming of a last minute win over the Bulls in Pretoria got some of their All-Blacks back in the team. Players like Rieko Ioane will give their team a huge boost against a... Continue Reading →
This is going to be a thriller. Both these teams are coming off of a win and a good one at that. The Sharks who is looking like the most impressive team in the competition at the moment are going to be thought to beet. The Reds who had a very successful game against the... Continue Reading →
This game could not have came at a worse time for the Rebels and I believe that they are going to struggle against the Highlanders. The Highlanders who also came of a loss will want to get their season going again against the Rebels. It is not going to be the best game to watch... Continue Reading →

If he keeps playing like... Continue Reading →

This game is coming at a very bad time for the Rebels and a great time for the Sharks. The reason for me saying that is because the Rebels finally won their first game and now they are playing one of the form teams of the first 3 rounds. The Sharks on the other hand... Continue Reading →
Both these teams have won their previous games and although the Crusaders won by 17 and the Highlanders only by 1 this game will be closer than you think. In the first few rounds of the competition I read the Crusaders team sheet; it is impossible not to think that they are going to win... Continue Reading →
Props: Steven Kitshoff: He played a very good game and was very important in their win and I believe that the captaincy helped him. His stats: Carries-5 Meters-5 Tackles-8 Missed tackles-1 Penalties conceded-1 Turnovers won-1. He only missed one tackle and won 3 turnovers there are not a lot of props that can do that....
