Super Rugby 2014: Weekend Teams – Round 9 (Final Revision)

Published 10 April 2014 | By grootblousmile

Super RugbyIt is Round 9 of Super Rugby 2014 this weekend! We have 6 games in Round 9, with 2 games on Friday and 4 games on Saturday.

The Blues, Hurricanes & DHL Stormers have bye weekends.

In June / July 2014 the Antipodian 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.

    @ MacroBull:
    Sanity prevail at last, the change should have done long ago
    Can’t imagine what that guy got injured from?
    not by fearless tackles of the PIs?
    🙂

    A promising week for the ‘investors’; at least 4 matches that can yield upsets!
    Highlanders vs Bulls; too close to predict
    Red vs Brumbies ; too close to predict
    Chiefs vs Rebels ;too close to predict
    Force vs Warathas; too close to predict

    Less of a surprise; Avoid if you can
    Cheetahs vs Saders; Saders by 12
    Lions vs the Sharks: Joubert by 18 😉

    @ Hondo:
