Super 14 2007

[teodoro]

Ecco il XV idelae del terzo turno per PlanetRugby


Team of the Week - Round Three:

15 - Percy Montgomery (Sharks):
The old man of South African rugby clearly benefited from being rested and not joining the Springboks on their year-end tour in 2006.
Bubbling Under: Julian Huxley (Brumbies)

14 - Philip Burger (Cheetahs):
Probably one of the most eccentric players on the circuit, but there is no doubt that he also has some class - not to mention raw pace.
Bubbling under: David Smith (Hurricanes)

13 - Tana Umaga (Hurricanes):
Another 'old man' that is helping to steady the ship for his team.
Bubbling under: JP Nel (Bulls)

12 - Junior Pelesasa (Western Force):
He had some good games for the Reds, but appeared to have faded from the scene. He had an ordinary season last year, but is now back to his best.
Bubbling under: Luke McAlister (Blues)

11 - Cameron Shepherd (Western Force):
Pure gold, pure Western Force gold!
Bubbling under: Anthony Tuitavake (Blues)

10 - Matt Giteau (Western Force):
We are sure that if you slot him in at prop he would do the job as well. He is without doubt one of the most gifted players around.
Bubbling under: Kurtley Beale (Waratahs)

9 - Ruan Pienaar (Sharks):
He does all the basics, required of a scrum-half, with consummate ease. But it is what he offers on attack that sets him apart.
Bubbling under: Jano Vermaak (Lions)

8 - Willem Alberts (Lions):
One of several of the Lions 'cubs' who have showed a remarkable maturity this year.
Bubbling under: Jerome Kaino (Blues)

7 - George Smith (Brumbies):
He's George Smith, need we say more?
Bubbling under: Cobus Grobbelaar (Lions)

6 - Steven Bates (Chiefs):
His team may not have won many matches, but he is playing like a champion.
Bubbling under: Juan Smith (Cheetahs)

5 - Nathan Sharpe (Western Force):
He is growing in stature every week and will be one of Australia's key players this year.
Bubbling under: Troy Flavell (Blues)

4 - Cobus Grobler (Lions):
Maybe it is just that blond mop that makes him stand out. However, he seems to be everywhere on the park and his skills are not too shabby either.
Bubbling under: Paul Tito (Hurricanes)

3 - Brian Mujati (Lions):
This young Zimbabwean-born prop is going to become a great one day, if only the officialdom would manage him properly.
Bubbling under: BJ Botha (Sharks)

2 - Gary Botha (Bulls):
Steady as a rock in a losing cause.
Bubbling under: Willie Wepener (Lions)

1 - Heinke van der Merwe (Lions):
He shoved Campbell Johnstone's head where the sun doesn't often shine. Johnstone, a three-Test All Black, is supposedly the 'rock' on which the Crusaders' scrums have been formed in recent campaigns.
Bubbling under: Deon Carstens (Sharks)

azzardiamo una classifica finale del S14:

Cheethas
Hurricanes
Brumbies
Sharks
Force
blues
crusaders
wharathas
Waikato
Highlanders
Stormers
Reds
Bulls
lions

pero' credo saranno tutti in pochi punti e' molto equilibrato quest'anno e poi appena rientrano gli AB credo cambiera' qualcosa.
I force mi sono piaciuti l'ultima partita stanno ingranando e giocano abbastanza bene non sono piu' la squadra materasso dell'anno scorso.

Waratahs 16 Western Force 16

Partita caratterizzata dal curioso finale,conivolgente Tuquiri..dopo che l'arbitro aveva assegnato un calcio dalla grande distanza,ma fattibile,Norton-Knight prende la palla,la gioca veloce e dopo una corsa effettua il grubber,che finisce nelle mani di uno dei Force che se ne esce in touche,facendo cosi terminare il match..Tuquiri corre verso il compagno e,dopo averlo nsultato,lo spinge via!negli spogliatoi poi si scuserà,ma in Australia è gia bufera..oltre le mielle voci di mercato che lo coinvolgono,ora pure questa!!dai Lote su!!

Waratahs - Essais : Morgan Turinui. Transformation : Peter Hewat. Pénalités : Hewat (3).

Western Force - Essais : Drew Mitchell, Matt Giteau. Pénalités : Cameron Shepherd (2).

QUINTO TURNO!!!:

Blues28-Highlanders9
ho visto solo il secondo tempo..bello,dominato dai Blues...un Flavell del genere merita la maglia nera...

The scorers:

For the Blues:
Tries: Toeava 2, Flavell
Cons: McAlister 2
Pens: McAlister 3

For the Highlanders:
Pens: Evans 3

bella partita anche il primo tempo, flavell bellissimo giocatore ma in prospettiva AB ha dei grossi problemi, inprimis la touch dove non è certo un drago e dove a guardare bene, davanti ha dei signori specialisti addirittura è il 2/3 saltatore e il piu delle volte al lancio dalla touche gli viene preferito il buon Kaino, da sottolineare anche la sua di prova.

pero i lions stanno andando bene,, era difficile da aspettarselo..
