Most entertaining game was the Highlanders vs Blues. Some really good running rugby. Highlanders came charging out the blocks to go 21 points up at half time only for the Blues to claw their way back. Highlanders kept ahead but the blues showed what a threat they can be. Saili try must be the number 1 try thus far.  


The Brumbies vs Reds game was competitive, but the brumbies blew a lot of chances, Crusaders vs Chiefs was close but no real excitement. More like watching a arm wrestle match. 


The sharks vs Hurricanes was frustrating if you were a sharks fan and also poorly reffed at the break down. The sharks had several line breaks but could get their passes right. Reinach going the w rong way, F Steyn breaking the line and then end up off loading to the opposition player with no support following through. 


Cheetahs vs Bulls was a damp squib, whether forced both teams to kick a lot. Stormers got to eat humble pie, good if you dislike the stormers, but as a stormers fan it was painful. Unfortunately my sky box only got half of the game but I knew where the score was heading and didnt need to watch the second half. 


Force vs Waratahs was completely one sided.

I enjoyed the Sharks game, the other South African games were less interesting in my opinion. I don't watch Kiwi or Aussie match-ups anymore so cannot comment on that.

Yes, I agree that the Highlanders v Blues was the most entertaining overall.

 

The rest held my interest.

 

I would rate the Sader v Chiefs game as tense but not too many thrilling moments.

 

Reds v Brumbies, I was thinking for good part of the game that the Brumbies would somehow perserve so that had some mystery.Lachie Turner had a great game.

 

I liked the Lions v Stormers game as the Lions were ahead & it was exciting to see Boshof kick points to keep the I wondered if they could keep this up. SuperSport picked this game as the performance of the weekend.

Canes v Sharks, I thought this was a forgone conclusion, i.e. that the Sharks would win. However, the Canes kept it close so there was some hope that they would score a breakaway flashy try. In the end it was the Sharks that got the intercept for the flash try.

 

Some of the other games had thrilling moments (great plays & individual performances) but did not have you on the edge of your seat as to who would win.

 

Overall I enjoyed the weekends games. The Ireland v England game was good also.

I said on Saturday already that the Highlanders - Blues game was the best.  That is followed by in that order -


*  the Waratahs Force game

*  the Lions - Stormers game

*  the Brumbues - Reds game 

*  the Cheetahs - Bulls game - despite the weather conditions



The following games produced some good moment - but was destroyed by -


*  poor ball handling and serious penalty flaws =  Crusaders - Chiefs game

*  dimwit and thoughtless rugby =  the Sharks - Hurricanes game.
