Never really followed a team in the super rugby, so I'm adopting the new Melbourne team, should be a great season.

the Super 15s kicks off this weekend to start the Rugby season for the southern hemisphere

the games for this week are

Hurricanes v Highlanders - Wellington
Rebels v Waratahs - Melbourne
Blues v Crusaders - Auckland
Brumbies v Chiefs - Canberra
Sharks v Cheetahs - Durban
Lions v Bulls - Joburg
Reds v Western Force - Brisvegas
bye - Stormers

I guess all eyes will be on the Rebels to see how they handle their debut game

and time for the aussie teams to perform, the last Oz team to win were the Brumbies in 2004 and the last Oz team to make the final were the Waratahs in 08
the South Africans have performed strongly over the last few seasons with the Bulls winning 3 of the last 4

anyway bring it on

Looks to be a fair crowd at the Melbourne game, 25,000+ I'd say.

was it a surprise or was it not a surprise
the Rebels would have gone out with heaps of enthusiasm and lots to play for, but so would have the tahs

anyway, it might be a long season for the rebels

Dont actually think the force are that bad to be honest. Only young as a club and still finding their feet, they appear to have the makings for a successfull side in a few years time IMO

uinfortunately that wasnt the case
Reds got up 21 - 20, scored a converted try in the last 5 mins and then hung on, Force could consider themselves unlucky as they were the better team on the day but thats the way the results go sometimes
