http://ruggachick.com/ RUGBY: SUPER 14 2010 review Round 7 Highlanders 39 vs Lions 29 The opening match for round 7 was played in Dunedin where the Highlanders awaited the Lions. Wow! The Lions had an incredible start, good line-outs and driving but as usual they just couldn’t hold in there. Not even 5 tries could save all those penalties they gave away. The Highlanders took about 30min to get in to the game and their fullback Isreal Dagg provided the points for them. The Highlanders picked up their 2nd win for the season and The Lions honestly have more work to do if they want to celebrate a victory anytime soon. Brumbies 30 vs Chiefs 23 It was a hard struggle in Canberra between the Brumbies and the Chiefs. Apparently the Chiefs are lacking some enthusiasm and energy, oh dear they desperately need a red bull sponsor cause 80min of intense rugby seems to be just a little to long for them. Donald plays a huge part and if he is not having a good day, the Chiefs seem lost on the field. Huxley made his return for the Brumbies after two years on the sideline and Giteau provided some good kicks sealing the win for the Brumbies. Cheetahs 10 vs Reds 31 In Bloemfontein the Cheetahs got it on with the Reds. How cool is the competition when the unexpected seems to happen most of the time. The Cheetahs are back on that familiar route in Super 14 as they experience yet another defeat. With the home advantage and home support in their pocket it still seemed like it just wasn’t enough for them to give the Reds a hard time. The Reds are definitely the most unpredictable team this season, giving the Cheetahs a great rugby lesson at home. Hurricanes 26 vs Sharks 29 Moving across the ocean the Hurricanes were back home from tour and hosted the Sharks in Wellington. The Sharks have their Mojo back and surely a last minute win against the Canes would boost their confidence. The Canes are having a hard time, they started the season with a bang and now they suffered their 4th constructive defeat. I am not sure how many ...
