1 The winners of Super 15 last year played the Western Force and they gave away 4 tries and lost without getting a bonus point. They played one of the worst games seen this weekend - matter of fact they competed with the Crusaders for that one.
2 The Crusaders - runners-up last year - had an absolute shocker and was anytime as bad as the Waratahs - they also lost without getting a bonus point.
3 The one semi-finalists last year - the Sharks had an extemely poor game - losing to the Cheetahs who lost some of their top players and had to start building a new team. However the Sharks at least got a bonus point out of that debacle.
The Reds was just real BS - end of story.
What is going to happen in the rest of the season?
