Preview, Review and all things rugby
This is the bottom of the table clash, but by no means do I think it is not going to entertaining. Italy lost their previous game against France, but I believe that they where the better team in the second half. They finally attacked with some intensity and they found gaps in the French defense.... Continue Reading →
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....

This game was played by two very different teams with two very different strategies. The Lions wanted to speed the game up from the beginning and bring the altitude into play and the Stormers wanted to slow the game down and make their energy last longer. 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. In the beginning of the game the they defended very well and were able to get crucial turnovers at the... Continue Reading →
This game did not deliver what I expected but it was not because of the player not playing good rugby. The Sharks was very unfortunate with the injury of Thomas du Toit just before the game and that continued losing Mapimpi and Chamberlain early in the first half. The Canes continued with their of the... Continue Reading →
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 →
