Preview, Review and all things rugby
The rugby that was played in the Australian competition this weekend actually surprised me. In the past when there was an Australian derby I would try to watch it but would usually fall asleep halfway through, but this week was very different. Reds vs Waratahs: This was the game that started the comp and what... Continue Reading →
The third week of the competition has been affected by the weather but the rugby n show was still class. Blues vs Highlanders: This game started of and in the first 10 minutes I thought the Blues were going to run away with the win. To my surprise and I think allot of people's the... Continue Reading →

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.
