But the fact is that oldies like Reihana, who could never cement a spot in the Abs, are the league's best players! i think that speaks volumes....Blowers this...Reihana that.....they'd get eaten for breakfast.

By who exactly? Martin Johnson got picked up in the tackle by Blowers yesterday, a feat not many have claimed to achieve. And if Reihana is so bad then why do a number of Kiwi fans seem deeply gutted by his decision to stay in England? Seeing as I don't watch much S12 rugby I don't go around slagging off the competition and it's players as a load of crap. You're opinion on these players seem slightly undermined by the fact that you say you don't watch European rugby. How does that work?

[/b]

I completely agree man

It seems SH fans love taking pot shots at NH Rugby but really they don't even watch it so they are just hauling facts of their asses

 

[raziel_eire]

I noticed Leinster were missing alright ... any chance of an update locks?

... and if this games ratings have been assessed/given for last season (how else could they rate england so highly?) then why are leicester so good? (better then wasps last year - NO!) saints were better last year,

in reality, about 40% of the ratings are a pile of bollix and why in the name of god are there only 21 internatioanl teams available - expand your horizons EA for christ's sake !!!

oh well, have to we'll just have wait longer for more realistic representation (in both team ratings and teams available!)

 

[Bullitt]

If they want to make it properly realistic, they want to have all the club sides deprived of their international players on int weekends!

 

[mickyb]

It does make you wonder about the person who was given the job of statistics for this game! Do they watch International matches, or do they know about rugby for that matter. It does spoil it for me cos you do pay good money for a game that cliams to be everything that rugby is, and they always get it so wrong. People may think we are sad, but its so disturbingly wrong.....is'nt it? I am English and watch them at Twickenham 2 or 3 times a season, and They ARE NOT No 1 (may 5-6 with a full team) Any way, Where are Leinster? Does that mean no BOD And Darcy?

 

[Boy]

The Lions are missing too, although if you can actually pick the squad yourself from the Home Nations it would obviously change (it would also be pretty cool).

 

[jared27]

OMG !

Canes @ 55. That is a joke. They maybe inconsistant, but definitley not that bad!

 

[esoj]

they did finish 11th last season so if it is based on last year super 12 it is quite accurate. Blues 77 is interesting level with the bulls but i guess based on the last super 12 that would be about right.

Would be right, except the stats are obviously not based on 2004 super 12 form (ie. Look at the chiefs low rating for instance)............

hence if it is then based on the players in each team then the ratings are seriously flawed.........

 

[esoj]

yeah true the chiefs are low. Rankings are a msytrey then as Blues are equal with the bulls yet the hurricanes chiefs ranked quite low

[..::ERIC::..]

What a load of ****.

 

[*MiTcH*]

super 12 ranks are by far way wrong!!
hurricanes at least 70

 

[NZL Fan]

Possibly more comparing to some of the other teams rankings........

According to this Italy is a 20% better team then the Canes??, and Fiji 15%??

 

[umosay]

How England stays at the top of the tree i'll never know!

Seriously, what a disgrace to the 'world champion' mantle - 9 losses in last 14 tests...

 

[*MiTcH*]

Super 12 rugby is light years away from northern hemisphere rugby!
even when they take players away from us.
err nearly took sivivatu that would kill the cheifs now without Jackson!!

crusaders 86
blues 85
cheifs 72
highlanders 70

Yip thts gud
xcept for reds and bulls are the worst super 12 teams
bulls had 1 fluke season

 

[esoj]

Sharks are surley bit better than the reds or hurricanes they have finished higher up than both of them in recent seasons I think. Apart from that I go with goughs rankings Brumbies Crusaders Blues definetly top 3 fourth spot could be anyone maybe waratahs just ahead of the stormers.

For international rankings proabbly NZ and Aus 1 and 2. England haven't played well since the world cup really so I think France 3 thne England at 4 followed by South Africa Ireland Wales Scotland Italy Samoa Fiji

 

[Munky]

While not a huge Union fan even I know S12 is better than the Euro club comp because S12 is provincial where as the Euro have clubs.

The Euro club comp would slaughter the Sydney comp however.

 

[NZL Fan]

Fiji are a better side then Samoa, as proven here....

Scotland havn't beaten anybody of note for ages (unlike Argentina), so how can they be ranked ahead of the Argies??
