Apart from the ref in PINK !! all I saw was 3 knock ons, a throw backwards that was then turned over and support runners over running the player with the ball. Most of the line breaks were caused by poor tackling. Sorry not impressed.

Looks exciting but it all came from poor skill execution. I reckon in the AP all of those chance with the defence in that soret of state would have ended in points. I was like watching a circus act with clowns juggling hot coals.

Passing, tackling and looking after the ball are all skills that are essential to rugby union, these two teams showed none of them. What they did show was how to run into and exploit space correctly. Both hemispheres could learn something from the other!

Apart from the sheer fitness showed the other impressive 'feature' was the obstruction almost rivalling American football.

The super 15 is a massive step up from the heineken cup and you can tell why the southern hemisphere international sides beat the six nations teams so frequently. Their offloading, passing and breakdown skills are superb.

It might have been riddled with mistakes and errors but I'd rather watch players trying to play enterprising rugby then goodness knows how many scrums being re-set and countless infringements. I wonder how typical of the whole game those 3 minutes were.
