Super XV Week 12 Preview and Live Match Thread

[Pete C (Kiwireddevil)]

First topic message reminder :

There are three rounds left until the international break, so teams will be looking to make their mark ahead of any disruption from the June Internationals. The Chiefs’ ability to pick up four-try bonus points puts them a little clear of the Bulls and Stormers in the top rank. Similarly, the Stormers’ lack of tries sees them behind the Bulls, despite only having one loss to the Cape Town men’s two. The Crusaders, Brumbies and Highlanders are the best of the rest, while the Sharks, Hurricanes, Reds, Waratahs and Cheetahs could make a run at the playoffs, but would need some big form reversals. The Force, Rebels, Blues and Lions are playing for pride now though.

Haven't seen it myself, but will watch the replay later this afternoon.

I think I got all of 2 matches right this weekend

[Taylorman]

Chiefs looked like they were going to rip them open when SBW was allowed to walk over the line untouched but they regathered and came back with a blitz before and after half time that shut them down completely.

Great match.

[Biltong]

Watched it last night. Some of the tries just seemed too easy. But overall good performance by the Reds.

Will Matt Todd be trapped in an ever continuing cycle of bring Richie McCaw back to match fitness and will the Crusaders continue to pay for it? I want our mojo back! The Crusaders haven't scored in ages!

[Taylorman]

Sam Cane I reckon will be the McCaw heir.

[kiakahaaotearoa]

Haven't seen much of him to be honest Taylorman so looking forward to seeing him involved. The way Richie is at the moment he will probably be needed sooner rather than later.
