Team Of The Week
Not the greatest week for selections given the dire match in the Gold Coast, but we’ve managed to piece together a fully representative side.
Tigers Scrape By Chiefs
Leicester came away from Sandy Park with the victory, but they were made to work by a resolute Chiefs side that very nearly toppled the heavy favorites.
Wallabies Flounder In Rain
Don’t let the scoreline throw you off. This was a boring game, and one the Wallabies should have been well ahead in before a late surge from the Pumas.
All Blacks Hold On In Wellington
The All Blacks were made to look mortal against a brutally determined Springbok side who had every chance to steal a win of their own in the dying moments.
Quins Stomped At The Stoop
It’s not often you’ve heard that said in recent years. Harlequins were utterly awful, there really was nothing at all to take from that kind of performance.
Preview – Australia vs Argentina
The Wallabies will be on a high as they travel to the opposite coast to face the Pumas after stealing a late win against the Springboks in Perth.
Preview – New Zealand vs South Africa
The All Blacks head south to Wellington this week to welcome the Springboks, reeling somewhat after a disappointing finish to the match in Perth.
Saints Set The Standard
After catching up on some Premiership action from last week, here are some random observations from Northampton’s big opening win over Gloucester.
ARC – Picking Canada’s Team
With the CRC over the halfway point now it’s time to take a look at who could get the call for Canada in October’s ARC tournament in Langford.
Team Of The Week
Thankfully the predicted wet weather didn’t affect the play too much and we got some decent rugby, and with it some decent performances to choose from.
