SUPER 14 - ROUND 1

RESULTS;
Blues v Hurricanes 19-37
Force v Brumbies 10-25
Cheetahs v Bulls 18-30
Crusaders v Highlanders 38-15
Reds v Waratahs 12-16
Cats v Stormers 12-23
Sharks v Chiefs 30-21


For me the result of the round was the impressive second half of the Hurricanes/Blues match, the Hurricanes completely over ran the Blues, with huge preformances from the Canes backrow trio of Jerry Collins, Rodney So'oialo and Chris Masoe. I think this Hurricanes side could have a big impact on this years tournament.
Try of the round went to Ruan Pienaar the Sharks half back, his individual try against the Chiefs will be hard to topple, he looks a huge prospect for SA Rugby, keep an eye on him for the next World Cup?
