I'm not sure about you guys but this a really shambolic round of super rugby.


There was only 2 games that had some entertainment value. Blues vs Hurriucanes, the canes played really well and just seem to like keeping ball in hand. Blues still blow hot and cold.


The other game was the Chiefs vs crusaders. For all money it looked like the chiefs had the game in the bag but some stupid decisions by trying to speed up the game and make rash decisions. The crusaders came back by just playing percentage rugby and kept in touch with goal kicks. Not very entertaining.


Rebels vs Force was a close game but to many errors


Waratahs vs bulls were just a bunch of beefed up idiots trying bash each other into the ground.


Then there were SA derbies, what a yawn fest. The sharks are still winning but really ugly, not sure they'll take the title with this stuff, the brumbies can unstuck last year under jake. I don't like their general play either. It seems to revolve around channel 1 ball to the forwards with the ball just being wide with no conviction or deception. 


Good that the Stormers have one but against an SA team that had until recently a play-off shout. Still very boring game, should have been a few more tries.


Stormers are going to ruin a lot games for aspiring SA teams. 


So all in all, yawn fest. I actually got up several times during the games which never happens

 Yeah, the Canes v Blues game was good. I'll watch that one again. 
The Chiefs v Saders was dramatic & full of hard hits, might be worth another viewing. 
The rest were average to poor (boring mainly). When I watch these games I revert to trying to see individual talent as the "action" doesn't hold my attention.

The problem the Chiefs had yesterday was with their tight 5 - they could not provide good ball to their backline and when their backline and when the backline got the ball they were always under pressure.   That does not make for exciting rugby - rather for  drama.
The Sharks 0 VCheetahs game was a bore.  The Sharks is incapable of playing attractive and interesting rugby and the Cheetahs haqd too amny injuries to key players like Van der Walt, Labuschagne and Goosen to prod uce their normal style of play.

 Add in Coenie aand the fact Loodt was out for a lot of the match. Cheetahs at full strength are a good side but squad lacks depth. with all these palyers overseas our resources are strained. New players coming in  lack experience and what has been developed vanishes overseas. Rugby is also a team game and so it really is difficult.
