Good news for the Chiefs. I wonder if the Highlanders made a play for DMac to return home to replace Sopoaga?

No one ever returns to Mataura once they escape, even if their refuge is the Tron

@crucial

Yeah, I went through Mataura a few times and I can understand why Meg and Cowan left. I didn't think the McKenzies were from there. Gore isn't much better.

Yeah, family farm was just north of Gore but the stench of Mataura travels far

Rebels gave the brumbies a 33-10 dust up.

Couldn’t find anywhere else to post this, but when did Romania join super rugby?
They’re currently 7-0 up over the Reds.

When I clicked over, I thought it was Brazil playing.. but then they playing with a rugby ball

@gunner

Reds win, 20 - 14.

Tongan Thor actually looked really impressive. Excellent in the loose and scrummaged well. I think this guy will play a lot of Tests for the Wallabies. Bit of a loss to Auckland rugby imo.

[KiwiMurph]

Thorn has got the Reds going well. Enjoyable game of rugby that.

[Stargazer]

The Jaguares are giving the Tahs a good 'ol spanking! 26-0 after 20 minutes.

[Higgins]

That's scarcely believable (as is the thoughts that the Blues could win in Johanesburg!). I guess the IRB will be taking a close look at of the passenger lists for flights from Mumbai to Buenos Aires

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer thats disappointing...I have the Jaguares to win by less haha

[African Monkey]

Probably the best 40 mins I've ever seen the Jaguares play.

[Stargazer]

That's a pity. That looked brilliant and the Jaguares player (23) deserved that try.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Jaguares 38 - 28 Waratahs

That score is flattering the Tahs, who scored two converted tries in the last 5 minutes.

Any one see how Michael Little went for the Sunwolves?

Looked like he did for NH. He still finds unlikely breaks, a good player for a midget.

Good enough to have a contract in NZ IMO

After missing the gutsy 27-21 victory over the Blues in Auckland two Fridays back, lock Brodie Retallick (poke in the eye at training) and first five-eighth/fullback back Marty McKenzie (concussion) are both fit to face the Bulls in Hamilton on Friday night, but that's the only good news coach Colin Cooper had to report pre-training on Monday afternoon.
