SUPA 12- Rd 1

Carter's mo is worse than Shane Walkers.

Speaking of facial hair, was that Reuben Thorne? Sheesh I had NFI who he was till the commentators said it was him. Shows what a shave and a haircut can do.

Oh,

GO THE TAHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Crusader]

Stop teasing me you guys, I can't see the game(s)!!!

'Canes are starting off well. It's a bugger the Blues games is on later tonight EST, I'll be in bed...

 

[Poida_Raider]

yeah you're right crusader, even stevens! what a wonderful result as far as i am concerned.. the waratahs play some great rugby, and the crusaders had nothing all game.. the right result!
unlucky there crusader, we'll see you in the finals if you're lucky!! :lol: :lol: 8)

 

[Crusader]

aaah well we can't be greedy, we've already won it about 5 times...

 

[Poida_Raider]

The fact that the Hurricanes only points were for a penalty try seems to point to trouble for them.

Either that or the Chiefs have fianially gotten good (right).

What a try from Larkham! Brumbies up 27-20. They've been cutting up Auckland through the middle the whole game, but the Blues are still looking dangerous out wide. Anyone's game at the moment.

 

[That Guy]

GO THE CHIEFS !!!!!!!
Fantastic Stuff !!

 

[weasel]

44-27 to the Brumbies!!!! A well deserved win and two awesome aussie victories over kiwis! Will we be seeing an all australian final this year? Hopefully.

 

[Auckland4ever]

Holy crap! Auckland get done like the ABs in the last WC.
Quite a few upsets for round 1, long may it continue.
Early days, but the Chiefs may finally be a side to be reckoned with.

 

[Poida_Raider]

nah the chiefs still suck.. hahaha, nah i dont know much about them.
but i'll admit i didnt expect them to win, and i didnt expect the brumbies to win either.. so thats 2 more tips for me down the drain.

 

[ozbash]

the chiefs are a good side this year.
byron kelleher will make a huge difference and they have got some good newboys.
lome faátau, sione lauaki were very impressive.

they play qld at brisbane next week, that,l sort the sheep from the goats

 

[Crusader]

Well I think you're ahead Poida and goddamnit you were right about the 'Tah's bonus point, although I hate to see a NZ team get beaten it's about time the Blues copped a flogging. NOW QUIT IT YOU BLOODY AUSSIES!!! :evil:
So far I've picked Otago, Stormers & Chiefs win... actually the Waikato sides were a force to be reckoned with not so long ago but I still stick to my Highlanders prediction for NZ team this year, early days yet :x
BTW ozbash, wasn't Kelleher a Southland player???

 

[AliN]

Well some surprises in Round 1!!

Well done Chiefs..

What the hell is Deans up to? Keeps two of his top players on the bench til it's pretty certain the Crusaders will lose.. what a difference they made when they came on.

Well done to the Brumbies as well.

 

[Dr Crane]

I think i have 12 points for the first round of Virtual Super 12.

Well done Brumbies.

Thank god for the Stormers.
