I cant remember the last time this happened. Personally I gave the Reds and Brumbies a good chance of winning and I had a hunch the Crusaders might take the Force lightly. Anyway, good on them, at least my team, the Blues, won convincingly over a disappointing Hurricanes outfit.I cant remember the last time this happened.

Great week for the Aussies. I didn't expect the Reds to win but they proved me wrong, also the Highlanders are terrible and the Force seem to always have close games against the Crusaders at home. Hurricanes fell asleep and I see no point in having Bateman at 12, he didn't offer anything and Barrett should have moved back to #10. Now we have the Force next - Interesting game with a few ex Wellington Lions players to come up against old mates.

It was a clean sweep and the football was quite good. Though I thought the Force game as the best (I'm a Tahs fan). The defence they showed in that second half was incredible. Shame that both O'Connor and Pocock pulled the pin on them.
