Brumbies/Lions Bye

Crusaders not winning makes me happy!

Stormers results are much left to desire

Carn Tahs.

Week 5 report:
The Blues' 46-12 win left the Cheetahs rooted to the bottom of the table with five losses in the first five weeks.
The Cheetahs got hit early by the Blues with 10 points in eight minutes and they never recovered despite the game drifting through some ragged patches.

The Brumbies denied the Waratahs a top spot on the Super 14 table in a vital 21-11 victory. Waratahs coach Chris Hickey admitted the Brumbies were too physical for his side.

The Crusaders coughed up an agonising draw to the Western Force that really showed how the seven-time champions are struggeling in 2009. It illustrated that what is wrong is the missing injured stars!
Giteau was the star of the match for me snatching 2 tries for the Force, bringing them level with the crusaders with 10 minutes remaining. after beeing down 15-3 at halve time.

The Highlanders were once again on the wrong end of a tight-scoring match as they went down 14-10 to the Chiefs. With the scores tied 7-7 at halftime, the Highlanders defence weakened in the closing 10 minutes.


The Reds closed out a tense Super 14 encounter, upsetting the previously-unbeaten Sharks 25-13. The off-colour Sharks were unable to threaten again and were also brought down by poor lineouts and poor handling. The Reds led 18-6 at halftime and held the advantage until the 64th minute when the Sharks stormed back with a try by Ryan Kankowski.

The Stormers scored eight tries as they romped to a 56-18 victory over the Lions in an all-South African Super 14 clash at Newlands. After 3 defeats the win lifted them to 7th on the log. A tough five-week tour is up for the Stormers they desperately needed to put their campaign back on track. The Lions had started brightly and surged into a 12-3 lead after 20 minutes but they quickly fell apart. It was one-way traffic to the Lions line saw the game erupt into a try scoring feast as the Stormers piled on eight tries in an hour.

Bulls keep top spot with 1 game in hand. Week 6 will be another thrilling Super 14 weekend!
