Super Rugby week 3 recap and week 4 preview featuring a FAT GUY TRY

It was a big week for the kicking game in Super Rugby . Multiple tries were scored off of attacking kicks in the offensive third of the field. It’s a high-risk, high-reward tactic, but when you’ve got someone who can drop it into trashcan from 30 yards away, I’ll take my chances.

WE HAVE A FAT-GUY TRY LEADING US OFF! Corey Flynn has some pretty good pace for a hooker, but he still brings that nice little wobble you expect out of a big fellow.

It came down to the final minutes and featured a ballsy play to win the game.

Note to NFL announcers: When a bunch of players get around the ball-carrier and push him down the field, that is not a “scrum,” it is a “maul.” Please refer to 0:24 in the above video.

They dismantled the Reds easily. The 32-5 would lead you to believe that the game was actually closer than it was.

I’m going to take a moment to brag that I’ve predicted all along that 2014 would be a much different year for the Waratahs than their 8-8 2013 season. They will be the team to beat in Super Rugby, so long as they remain relatively healthy.

The top two South African teams square off in Kings Park, and the game is actually going to be played at a decent hour for American audiences! The upstart Lions have gotten off to a much quicker start than anyone could have predicted, and the Sharks are 2-0 although they’ve played some pretty weak opponents.
