Couldve been more...the second Bulls try came about after a 'knock on' that saw all players stop, the ref didnt call it and the Bulls players ran 60m to score

Huge buildup for the Tahs v Crusaders game on Sunday. There's also a 7s NZ v A us match on beforehand which will be shown on Fox after the Super 15 game.
Just realised last night that the game will be on at the exact same time Ill be flying to Brisbane for work.

Reds defeat the Blues 23-11 for their first ever win at Eden Park
How a team half full of All Blacks can be wooden spoon contenders is laughable

Brumbies beat the Lions 34-20 in the Republic.
Margin should have been greater as we scored 6 tries to 2 but missed 4 conversions

Great win by the Chiefs..8 in a row now and stay atop of the overall standings.....

Cheetahs led by 21 and the Highlanders only lead for the night came in the 79th minute.
With scores locked at 33-33 in the 78th the Cheetahs missed a penalty from 10m out straight in front, Less than a minute later the Highlanders nail a penalty from halfway to win it

Crusaders beat the Tahs 37-33
Crusaders have beaten the Tahs in last 10 straight

And 2 days later in an amazing backflip he has signed a 3 year deal to stay at the Reds for less money than the Force offered.

Not all over yet. His signing was on the proviso that the salary cap get larger but it probably won't.
