Watched the Cheetahs vs Brumbies match this morning, and what an absolute disgrace. Both teams were wearing white jerseys with blue side panels (navy for the Brumbies, a lighter blue for the Cheetahs). The only difference was the shorts.

How how how can this happen in this day and age? As the referee said to the Cheetahs players, they're the home team and it's up to them to co-ordinate the jerseys and make sure the away team is aware what they are required to bring. The referee insisted that the Cheetahs change at half time, yet it never happened.

And the South Africans are demanding that they be given an extra team in any expanded Super competition... get real! They would have been lucky to have more than 2,000 spectators at the ground, they can't organise something simple like telling the away team not to wear white, and their current 5th team has a 0% win record for the season.

Just to add more bizareness, the Cheetahs first penalty attempt clearly missed, but both assistant referees flags went straight up in the air, giving the referee no choice but to award 3 points for the miss.

i cant believe they even agreed to add another team. SA & NZ have enough teams and AUS probably need to bloody drop a team.
