@Frank are you really @MN5 with that level of knowledge?
When it was S18 it included KIngs, Cheetahs, Force, they left at the end of 2017...so take them out and now SW and we get to 14.
@Chris-B I remember Super 10 and CANZ but never a super 6...
I forgot to post this earlier. It's from the SANZAAR website:
History - the early days In 1986 NSW and Queensland played against Auckland, Canterbury and Wellington from New Zealand, as well as a composite Fiji side. For five years the tournament was played, a South Pacific Championship or Super Six, which led to ‘expansion’ when South Africa re-entered the rugby world and it was reborn into the Super 10 in 1993, where it ran until 1995, prior to the game becoming professional. In 1996 as SANZAR was formed, the Super 12 was created, a professional competition and the first official ‘international domestic’ tournament featuring the strongest teams – which would become franchises – across New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. -

@Stargazer Not much in that.

Jaysus - off the ball around the neck clothesline!
Yeah that's a good old fashioned clothesline eh. Feet in the air and all.

Nothing in that. Massive dive

Oh no
The Highlanders will have to get their season back on track without the services of All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith. Coach Aaron Mauger told Stuff on Wednesday that Smith will be out for "four to six weeks" after injuring his ankle in the final stages of the loss to the Blues' last Friday. After sustaining the injury Smith tried to run it off but it pulled up sore after the match and now faces a frustrating spell on the sidelines. The Highlanders have two other halfbacks on their books, Kayne Hammington and youngster Folau Fakatava, but Mauger said they are in the process of bringing in someone else to bolster the squad before three tough Kiwi derbies after their bye week. -
@Stargazer Step on up MR FAKATAVA
-
@Canes4life Yeah, but I'm afraid they're going to start Hammington, at least until Fakatava has a bit more SR game time under his belt.

@Stargazer you never know, they may just chance their arm.

Chiefs lock Michael Allardice has re-signed with the Chiefs for another year. Hopefully, that also means he's re-signed with the Magpies.

Fuck SANAZAA.
Queensland flanker Angus Scott-Young is free to face the Rebels on Saturday after escaping suspension for foul play.

haha WTF...
“The player’s explanation for the incident, including his attempt to protect his previously injured hand by closing his fist during the clean out, revealed absence of malicious intent,” he added.
reminds me of the fight Bart and Lisa had....its your own fault if you get hit

that is an astounding ruling.
Could you imagine the laughs when he gets back to training? Great story for the boys
"... and they fucking believed me!"
