The first and only time that the Rebels will ever be in first place.

NZ teams looked good our local derbies were horse crap. Snore fest deluxe. Aussies teams will be mid table dobblers

But seriously dude

WTF???????

 

[CG123]

The NZ South Island teams are none and four now.

Thanks Wales, someone had to show the Poms that they aren't the best team in the world.

Boy Brumbies looked good, totally blew the Sharks off the park in the first half.
Hehe England.

I'm off to find a DVD of the NZ match

If the Brumbies continue like this they should easily finish top with the quality (or lack of it) of most of the other Australian teams.

Was that our only loss in the whole year at the end of a long season?

Serves them right to be honest. Don't matter in cricket, Black Caps are already bad enough not to win anything. But England don't deserve it and thanks to Wales, New Zealand are a little bit happier now, just need to kick their ass at the end of this year.

6. Steven Luatua (Blues)

In a weekend of outstanding individual performances, his was the best. Did absolutely everything brilliantly against the Hurricanes, and was the key to shutting down the visitors.

He was the year ahead of me at school, and he's just been having a massive season so far. Another guy who was in my year has come off the bench in a few of our matches as well.

Blues up to 2nd overall.

It really depends on how complicated you want to get, because at the professional level a lot comes down to the refs interpretation of the laws.

Obviously Wikipedia's always a good place to start, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union, and I don't think that the main page on it is too complicated. There's another page here, Rules Of Rugby, which seems pretty simple.

Things are a bit more detailed here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_laws.

There are more New Zealand born players in the Lions squad that there are Scottish born players.

Should have picked Laidlaw tbh. Two flyhalves won't be enough.
