Fresh of a surprise loss in Sydney the name filled but clueless Sharks need some morale boosting before their tour goes south… whilst Jake White’s Brumbies are burgeoning in confidence as the top Aussie side with just one loss looking to kill the big fish in Canberra!

What’s going on in S15 this year?????
March 31st, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Good game… Brumbies were playing all the better rugby… just those two break-away individual tries won that for the Sharks… again they were pretty avg across the paddock other than some good individual performances…

Your dooses screwed me…

Cheetahs win
Sharks win
Lions?
Stormers / Bulls
Even if the Lions lose the dominance of South Africa in this year’s Super 15 with the light rise by Australia and the clear waning of power of New Zealand must be clear to all to see.
RWC 2011 was the swansong of New Zealand rugby…

No, I don’t share your vision of things, David. Reception must be bad where you live and maybe you’ve missed some of the games, or are you
, 
or just 
?

I agree with DavidS on this ( which may cause him to embark on a process of soul-searching re-evaluation ).
McCaw, Carter and some others are on their way out. These guys were not just special players – they were magic men for the AB’s. The new crop coming up is bland in comparison.
They’ll get better but will still pale in comparison for quite some time.
You don’t need to smoke commie-weed to think that. DavidS on this matter is just…… prescient.
