Preview, Review and all things rugby
This is going to be one hell of a battle. The Chiefs who is probably the best team in the competition this far taking on the Brumbies the best team in Australia. The Chiefs is coming with a very strong team and will look to dominate the game in every asset. They will want to... 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....

At the end of the day the Stormers came... Continue Reading →
This was a very competitive game and I believe that the better side came away with the victory. Brumbies: They had a great set piece and that is where most of their points came from.

This was not a very interesting game to watch and to be honest I almost fell asleep just before half time. The Rebels did however come away with the win like I predicted. The conditions was not ideal for running rugby but that was what made the Rebels win at the end of the day.... Continue Reading →
This was a very scrappy game and I don't know why because the conditions was much better than in the Rebels vs Waratahs game. The Crusaders came away with the win but it was because of the very bad decision the coach made. The Crusaders played a good game pouncing on all the mistakes by... Continue Reading →
Another South-African derby, but it is not as good a game as it would have been previous seasons. The Stormers is another undefeated team and as far as I know the only team yet to concede any points. The lions got of to a rocky start against the Jaguares, but got back on track with... Continue Reading →
The Brumbies is the only team in the Aussie conference that actually have a chance of making the playoffs. They are playing a Highlanders team that last week still were rusty which will be gone this game. This is going to be a game of two very different teams the Brumbies who this season did...
