Last weekend, each of the 14 teams, competing in this year’s Super 14 Rugby Tournament, took to the field, a little rusty, missing key players and facing the new rules. They seem to have survived, but a few incidences of rules and applications surfaced, particularly with questionable refereeing decisions.

Thus, the 2 top teams, the Sharks and the Bulls, who battled it out earlier this year, for the Super 14 finals, were left with only second stringers, in their teams.

In the last articles, we followed each and every game in the pool playoffs. There were 40 games in all and we ended up at the quarter final playoffs. Two games were played on Saturday and two on Sunday. Everyone had assumed that Australia and New Zealand were through to the semis and couldn’t lose against England and France respectively. I was one of them, but boy, were we in for a shock!
