@Hooroo thst is the great aspect
But the piss poor and inconsistent judiciary is a joke.
I'd have expected van der merwe to get min of 8 weeks for his part.
8 weeks? for 3 or 4 shit punches? He's on top of him punching down and didn't even land something to make a mark. And the other bloke starts it, but loses when he gets shoved over. Both a couple of dumb fluffybunnies thinking you can still do that in the pro game. I wouldn't have suspended either of them. Deliberate, low impact, time served is enough.

@taniwharugby said in Super Rugby News:
@Stargazer so do you think Telea is deserving of a high punishment than van der merwe?
Agree that they are completely different, but both still carry a very high risk of injury (permanent) one was a very deliberate act of violence, the other was a clumsy reckless act.
Lets not forget the Frenchman had his RC overturned for what was a very similar act and result...
IMO it was worse.

@booboo Yup, and we also know why World Rugby threw Gardner under the bus. Because Cane and Tu'ungafasi weren't carded/cited for that double tackle on Grosso (resulting in that horror injury) a week earlier and the whole NH hemisphere got a hissy fit.

The Blues' bye in round four adds an extra layer of confusion as the byes apparently re-set the All Blacks' games back to zero. The All Blacks must have two games off this Super Rugby season, not counting the two byes. It seems strange then that prop Karl Tu'inukuafe has been forced to sit out this week as part of the rest protocol. Tu'inukuafe, who was apparently eager to continue, has played six games at an average of 39 minutes each. The front rower has started only two matches. Ioane has started all six and has played an average of 71 minutes each game. -

Saw several posts on the Highlanders' and Naholo's instagram (yesterday) with Patrick Osborne. With the message "he's back". Not sure whether that means he's just on a break and visiting his former Highlanders team mates, or whether he's back in the squad (as injury cover).

B Sample results all but end Springbok's World Cup hopes
After an additional round of testing, Springboks and Sharks hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle’s B-sample also revealed the presence of the banned substance, Zeranol.

It’s like Aki and Anscombe after the Wales Ireland game.
Sharing some love after escaping from their embattled homeland and finding greener pastures to thrive

saw this on FB...so a competition you have won almost half your games, is tougher than the one you win a bit over a quarter...

@Machpants Wow, full time: Lions 5 - 42 Sharks
What on earth happened there!?

@Stargazer I'm 1/3 so far this weekend...just seen reds/stormers result

Hmmm, the loss of Japanese sponsors is a valid point, but let me guess, the Tahs also don't like losing a guaranteed Australian home QF spot that isn't based on points total but on a conference format? And don't like losing the advantage of playing weaker Australian teams twice?
