Matt Goddard gets the sack
I do not think I have ever seen such a performance by a ref like the one I saw by Matt Goddard last week in the fixture between the Hurricanes and the Bulls! I am glad to hear that the Australian ref has not been picked to ref this weekend as his performance last weekend...
O’Neill calls SARU’s bluff
Outspoken Australian Rugby Union boss John O’Neill is ready to call his South African counterparts’ bluff, as the public spat between the SANZAR partners appear to be driven by nasty undercurrents. South Africa’s threats of vetoing a possible expanded Super 15 could see them excluded as New Zealand and Australia are reportedly investigating a new-look...

What I have found interesting is...

What is wrong with Tonderai Chavhanga?

Chavhanga got injured again on Saturday against the Lions and it is another hamstring injury. The guy has been hit with injuries through out his whole career. One can only imagine what may...
What happened to the Sharks?
Clearly the biggest shock of the Super 14 this season happened on Saturday morning when the Sharks took on the Reds in Australia. Virtually no one gave the Reds a chance. Looking at the Super Bru predictions, I think only 6% of everyone who plays Super Bru picked the Reds to win. I will not...
