SUPER 14 RUGBY 2010: Week 8

http://ruggachick.com/ RUGBY: SUPER 14 2010 review Round 8 Hurricanes 26 vs Crusaders 26 We kicked off round 8 with an INTENSE game between the Crusaders and the Hurricanes. The Crusaders kicked off with a bang and Carter reached his 1000 points in super rugby, but then all hell broke loose. The Crusader’s point master had an off day and boy did that affect them. The Canes came out like a house on fire in the 2nd half and defended superbly until they lost concentration in extra time. Carter missed the final conversion, yup...you heard right he missed and the game ended up being a draw. Force 16 vs Stormers 15 I am still in Shock about the Force winning their 1st game this season against the Stormers who happens to be 2nd on the log. Wow! That was amazing, well done mates. After David Hill put that drop goal through the posts, the Force celebrated like they won the world cup and even taking a victory lap. The Stormers were not quite in the game and they just seemed lost on the field, I wonder.... Could Jet-lag be a good excuse? Blues 32 vs Bulls 17 The bulls played f#beep terrible , what the hell happened to them. The blues slammed them with a walkover. “G”! Good bye year winning streak for the Bulls they just threw that right out the window!! The Blue’s completely frustrated the Bulls ...and the Bulls just couldn’t deal with it, giving away penalties, picking up two yellow cards and they seemed to forget about their game plan, if they ever had one. Brett seemed to have the magic for the Blues and after 80 min it was a well deserved win. Chiefs 27 vs Highlanders 21 The Highlanders came out strong against the Chiefs taking the lead into halftime. the 2nd half proved to be extremely entertaining with A huge head to head clash. Donald was on a roll for the Chiefs!! Thanks to his hard efforts they managed to pick up their 1st win at home this season. Well done guys... it’s about time!! Waratahs 40 vs Cheetahs 17 The Cheetahs are seriously battling! Not only did they loose star player Heinrich Brussow ...
