Its been said before, but ill say it again. The competition lost all its glamour when the rules changed. To many teams and everybody doesnt play each other. Plus, you can be the 4th best team by an absolute street but you dont get a semi final berth.. blows my mind.

Are you living your life or waiting to die?

Yes, crazy format which has to be changed. People are losing interest, just look at the half full grounds when they play.

I would have two groups of teams drawn out of a hat, play each other home and away top two from each group play semi and the final at a pre determined ground before the season starts.

I haven't watch one game this year and I feel I have missed fark-all after reading the write-ups. Nothing has and nothing will change esp in SA rugger. They all start off with a bang, injuries hit them and they all have NO depth in talent so end up going backwards fast. Then one must listen to the excuses, a bit like GC. I do have better things to do with my time.

Sharks are a complete joke hanging on against the Kings of all teams.

I want to say the Sharks won not pretty.. however, I cant get myself to over evaluate that performance and match in total by such a substantial amount. It was a complete shower of shit... from kick off to final blow. Yes, we have alot of injuries, but I still expect the replacements to be able to complete the basics with aplom.... as previously mentioned, I did think it was going to be a close game, but I didnt expect such crap....

I lost all interest in that match, when I couldnt watch the Irish national anthem been sung... The france v Wales match was still being played...

Just to clarify, attending an Ireland home match and Scottish home match, purely just to witness the Anthems is on the bucket list. Get goosebumps everytime I hear and see it on tele.

Sharks very lucky. Some very questionable calls. Neck roll no card then harsh yellow for no arms in the tackle. We have seen 2 reds this weekend for swinging arms making contact with the head and Chilliboy doesn't even get a card. He is inexperienced but he needs to improve quickly to ref at this level. Feel for the Kings they deserved the win.

ABs playing Scotland in November I will get tickets so come over and tick it off the list
