Super15 semi finals

Chiefs will end the dreams of the Crusaders as they have had the extra weeks rest and as reigning champs wont let go of their trophy without a fight

Bulls and the Brumbies will be a close match with the Brumbies coming out on top because they play with intelligence and style with a bit of panache added to their game which will dumb found those Bulls, If anyone is going to the match and supports the Bulls then you are wasting your hard earned cash because the drive home will be a long and lonely one after you see your side crash out.

Chiefs v Brumbies final will be the equivelant of a Barcelona v Real Madrid match

I have had to keep checking the date just to make sure it is not 1 April. :

We do have a "This is a joke thread". <

The big game of the weekend is Friday night .... LIONS TO WIN....
Crusaders win
Brumbies +9.5 .... but the Bulls will win

is the lions v kings just a one off or is it home and away

Home and Away...

thanks should be close

Would like to see the Lions winning both games, not that I dislike EP rugby players & coaches, but because it was a political 'move' to get the Kings into S15. It's sad to see things like this happening as the losing franchise takes a massive (financial) blow, players are left in the dark, gate money, etc.

Imo Super Rugby must go back to S12. I know Greg will hate me for saying this, but the current teams that should not be in S15 is both the Kings & Lions, Rebels and Highlanders. Less games will be played and Currie Cup rugby can get it's status back. Once the Lions & Kings have proven themselves in Currie Cup and have the capacity to lure quality players, they can be considered again. The Lions are moving in the right direction as their structures are falling into place. Even their Craven week side made the 'final'

hows that crowd at the MCG watching Liverpool play a friendly. 95000.

Ou Ryperd for sure, you do make sense but lets be honest the revenue that Super 15 generates is far more than Currie cup so you can kiss that good buy... It's kind of like the champions league in football, i would rather see the top 2 from the major countries playing than 4 teams but that not gonna happen either as TV RULES THE ROOST in all major sports events these days.

champions league is a con as teams are seeded and they try to keep the big clubs ie Real Madrid, Barcelona, Munich and Man City apart

only the champions of each league right across europe should be in the comp but as you say greg its all about TV revenue

why would they want to keep a side that cannie even make the play-offs in the comp...

they will do much better in the champs league this season as last season they had a very tough section.
