Ulster interest Saturday afternoon Southern Kings & Blue Bulls.

Arno isn't fit yet. He is set to return in three weeks.

Shame many of the later PM games in Africa on busy Saturdays are only on the red button.

Regarding the Bulls: Liebenberg is the Super vice captain and possible starting 8. From what I saw last year he's more likely to keep his balance through contact than the quicker Arnie Botha.
Can Jacques Potgieter replicate any of his 2014/2015 Waratahs form (Competitions best blindside)?
Roelof Smit stood out against the BaaBaas. Love the squat frame. Back in 8 weeks. A successor to Frannie Louw for the Boks openside?

Anyone up watching Crusaders v Brumbies? First live game this season.

Wow Crusaders. Really like their 9.

Enjoyed the first half but too many errors in the second half for my liking. Thought Dagg was different gravy in the 1st 40 - unplayable at times. Vardy was very impressive as well.
Thought the high-tackles were being reffed more leniently than in some NH games I've seen. Lots of choke tackling that were marginal but the ref let it go.

Blues V Chiefs was a cracker until a red card just B4 half-time. Late and high so fair enough. Shame as it was looking like a good one.

Missed the Crusaders game but caught the Sharks game. Good win in the end against a good Brumbies team. We should have a few of our forwards watch that a few SR games.

Sunwolves v Stormers is a try fest. Defence is optional it seems

Australian rugby seems to be in serious decline. http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/201 ... ralia.html

Fantastic Stormers v Chiefs game early. Stormers players celebrated like they had win the whole thing but its some change to getting stuffed by the Chiefs in the play-offs last season.

Fun to watch but has big issues. Several sides getting cut for next year.

Best Aus side has same points as worst NZ side
