SUPER 14 RUGBY 2010: Week 2

http://ruggachick.com/ RUGBY: SUPER 14 2010 Highlights Week 1 Good day fans! Welcome to your super 14 Update, I’m RuggaChick. Wow what a weekend of rugby!!! 52 tries scored in total, 7 yellow cards and no Bulls Babes at Loftus any more!!! 1. Highlanders vs Blues: (5 Tries) Highlanders Yellow Josh Bekhuis Blues Yellow Rene Ranger The 1st game of the weekend was quite a cracker!! The Highlanders looked like they dominated the game, until two quick tries early in the second half turned the game around for the Blues. With both teams receiving a yellow card it’s was quite a battle, but the Blues managed to clinch the victory. Reds vs Crusaders: (6 tries) Reds Yellow Adam Byrnes Crusaders Yellow Ben Franks When looking at the record between the Reds and Crusaders where the Crusaders won the last 11 games, I was very surprised by the performance from the Reds. They were of top of there game and the Crusaders tried their best, but they were frequently caught of side which cost them points. The Reds enjoyed 91% of the possession in the second half and celebrated a victory with a bonus point. 3. Sharks vs Cheetahs: (2 tries) The Sharks and Cheetahs battled it out in Durban, but the guys struggled to maintain good discipline and penalties were given left and right. Half time the referee’s changed and so did the attitude of the Sharks, picking up an early try in the 2nd half, but ball handling became a problem for them and the Cheetahs smiled with every penalty and cliched a victory. 5. Lions vs Chiefs: (18 tries) Chief Yellow Cards to Sione Lauaki, Aled de Malmanche, Richard Kahiu Having a look at the 18 try match in Johannesburg. The Chiefs were boosting with confidence picking up their 1st try in the first minute. Critics have it that the lions are a bunch of no name branders, but I can honestly say that have some heart and did well to try and get back into the game. Both teams pick up a bonus point, but in the end the Chiefs celebrated the victory. It will be interesting to see what the Chiefs can come ...
