Guess it was an off week (end)...start again tomorrow...(tu)

Ive said it before THERE IS NO EASY GAME in this tournament... ... hell even the Lions have surprised me...

Losing interest fast as the refs don't know what they are doing, the forwards are getting fatter by the week, far too many penalty kicks ad drop goals, not enough punch ups, the stadiums are only at 50% so not much atmosphere.

Personally the France / Ireland Six Nations decider had more excitement, drama and swings than the entire Super Rugby competition so far.

you are now comparing internationals against "provincial" Super 15 is losing its panache and those in charge had better change the format or the interest will fade away like the mist on a summers morning

For me it is simple. Play 14 games, no conferences. 7 home, 7 away. Who you play at home this year you play away next year. 4 semi finalist, 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3. Definitely neutral refs. Before conference the competition was much more exciting and fairer as everyone plays everyone.

agreed. Too many permatations Also the final should be played on a neutral ground. 1st year in Aus, 2nd in SA 3rd year in NZ

Disagree there, if you have accumulated the most points you deserve a home semi and final. I believe this started in 2010 when there was unhappiness about SA having both semi's and final.

They talking about increasing the teams next season...
