Personally, I think the Blues should be a bit longer than that - maybe $3-$3.50

I think the blues will do quite well tonight actually..

I think the blues will do quite well tonight actually..

Yeah, they only lost by about twenty points...

Hurricanes go down to the Bulls, another surprising result following the Reds match last night. Anyone here see the game, what actually happened to the 'Canes?

 

[Simon]

lucky i didnt take the 2.50 on effer eh...

 

[Tim]

YEAH, I went to Eden Park & saw the Crusaders carve the Blues up.

haha & shame on anyone who thought the Hurricanes had turned the corner this season, they were a shambles against the Bulls.

Sorry Cloete, but thats as good as it will get for the Reds this season..the Chiefs will be the other team fighting it out for the wooden spoon.

We'll see. It's a bye for them next week then a home game agaisnt the Highlanders. We'll win that one I reckon.. Highlanders don't have anywhere near the quality of the Reds, bar the forwards.

The Reds are sh1t. They still have to play in africa and I doubt they will get more than four points from their trip there

Well considering the Highlanders have recently beaten the Bulls (who this week beat the Hurricanes) by 25, and the Sharks this morning by 35, a Reds victory looks very unlikely in my book.

 

[Somerset]

I reckon this weekend will have some very exciting Rugby.. all the matches are tight in my eyes, except Cats vs Brumbies really..

Well it turned out to be a very unpredictable weekend really, the Reds' victory, the Bulls winning, the supposedly tight Crusaders vs Blues and Sharks vs Highlanders games being large victories to the away teams, and another tight win for the Brumbies...

This has to be one insane season of Super 12..

Blues underperformed largely..

TBH I am finding the league much more exciting than the super12... and I am first and foremost a rugby union supporter, although I like league too but not as much generally

 

[Tim]

So you reckon the Reds are going to easily beat the Highlanders when they just smashed the Sharks in South Africa..while the Reds beat an equally poor Chiefs side?

And I disagree that the Reds have a far better team..Otago isn't as good as it used to be, but they've still got Anton Oliver, Carl Hayman & some good up & coming players like Jimmy Cowan & Nick Evans.
Plus Ben Blair who was a pretty good draft for them.

What the hell was Ali Williams trying to do anyway? Doesn't he realise that when he hurts McCaw, he hurts NZ!?

We must have McCaw for the Lions Tour and if Williams had finished him for the season I would have gone nuts.

It was simply crazy play from Ali Williams, and he deserves at least a three-four month suspension. As you say, potentially unjuring McCaw is potentially injuring New Zealand, I don't know what Williams was trying to achieve either.
