Super Rugby 2014: Weekend Teams – Round 3

Published 27 February 2014 | By grootblousmile

Super RugbySuper Rugby is already in Round 3! We have 7 games in Round 3, with 3 games on Friday and 4 games on Saturday.

The Cell C Sharks have a bye weekend and of course Bye Points fall away in 2014.

In June / July 2014 the Antipion teams will catch up in played games with the South African counterparts, when the South African sides sit out for 1 Round.

The Combined Log will therefore be skewed for the majority of the competition and one has to question why individual countries are allowed to start such a long competition ahead of it’s rivals. In 2013 the Australian sides started a week early, but at least they had the excuse that they needed an extra week in the middle of the year to prepare for the British & Irish Lions series, which they lost.

    True i also feel the same about the Cheetahs but it’s the Rebels first game so this is the game the Cheetahs must target.

    Well mine is not good either. Think the Bulls might up their game this week, just think the Lions half backs are way better and so is Kriel.

    Any penalty the Bulls give away Boshoff will slot it over. Or a few drops again… Overjoy

    When did the Lions play Bulls and totally thrash them? I know it was in CC not sure if it was last year or the year before. As then no-one gave the Lions a chance and they totally outplayed the Bulls.

    The Bulls have the better chance to win this weekend than the Stormers
    The Bulls will regroup, only a matter of sending Hougaard to the wing and picking Van Zyl at 9, the Stormers on the other hand seemed to be at a dead end now.
