    Le Roux has signed for the sharks apparently this morning.

    Also Joe Pietersen the past week.

    They'll beat them. The argies are getting a good side together with a string of European signing coming back. I presume Creevy will captain them, he was immense, abeit at a much lower level, for Worcester against Bristol last week. Sanchez will spearhead the team from 10 although he'll have to bring up his kicking averages. Montero looked sharp last year while Tuculet did a fine job in a poor team in Cardiff. I'm sure they'll sign a few more European players in the coming weeks.
    Any chance of Urdilapeta joining them?

    Afraid not he's already signed with Castres, not suprising as his old coach is taking them over next year!

    a mad stat....

    crusaders are the highest scoring team on 410 points, but are in 8th position due to their points conceded, 345, a full 5 points more than the last placed team

    edit: sorry, read it incorrectly.... they conceded 37 points less than the force in last place.

    Yeah in terms of points/tries scored the NZ teams are way ahead of everyone else this year.. apart from the blues and chiefs while not head and shoulders above the rest are still top tier in terms of tries scored.

    Canes pulling ahead already, NMS making all the moves it seems.

    Unfortunately stuck at work today and cannot watch the game but it seems that NMS is having an outrageous game again.

    Will he make the All-Blacks for the World Cup, surely he has to?

    Pocock gets another hat-trick, he is lethal at the back of mauls. Cheika has to include him in the Aussie 15 at the WC.

    One of the scores from the Canes game, with some amazing skills by NMS

    Any clips of this? :
    19.00: Wow. James Marshall slips through a tackle outwide. He cuts back in and five Highlanders players try to tackle him but they fall over each other one by one and Marshall scores. TRY!

    Here's some short highlights;

    I can't check them at the moment but I'd imagine the try you mentioned is there.

    Rebel 14 - 17 Bulls at HT.

    Entertaining first half. Rebels being my favourite Australian side due to their struggles in recent years also good to see rugby do well in Victoria which is a massive AFL area.

    If only the rebels could take a few more of their chances they would be well clear. Still playing good rugby, hopefully they pull through in the second half.

    Good win for the Rebels but don't know how the bulls were denied that try with about twenty to go when the 12 looked to get the ball down

    Sloppy start from the Crusaders, the Blues are very fired up.

    Again the Crusaders are knocking on a lot - I've seen this happen so often this season

    Ridiculous amount of knock ons between both teams this morning, the ball may be dewey but the handling is pretty poor.

    Not sure why the Crusaders aren't going for the try at every opportunity.

    Ah disgusted to see the Bulls loose by 1 from a winning position. Think I was the only one to go with the Bulls in the predictor competition :(

    Look like the crusaders are starting to fire now. Pity it's probably a bit late. Nandolo is such a beast.

    Reds have started really well against the Chiefs. Don't think the Chiefs have been out of there half in the first 16 mins. Still only 3-0 down though.

    Reds are going to pay for not getting points out of all their early pressure.

    Heem try for chiefs
