Rebels keeping the Blues at bay… looks like the Rebels could well win this one.

This is quite rare to see a NZ team down on the overall log, Maybe they should have been culled and not the Cheetahs.
2nd last on log
Played 13 lost 10
Their 3 wins are
Waratahs 24-21
Sunwolves 24-10
Lions 38-35

@ superBul:
In “The Law of The Jungle”, superbully you have a point. Survival of The fittest.
But the Blues have 2 Super Rugby Titles.

That’s 2 more than the………. Stormboys, Cheats, Sharkies, Kings, Rebs, Sunwolves and Western Force combined.

And this is the STAT that really hurts ……………………………………….one more the the Hurricanes.
