S14 at Ellis Park

We're well into the Super14 season now, and had the opportunity to go and watch my first game last night - took Stuart with me, as I was given an extra ticket. The Cats played the Chiefs, and although the Cats won the game, it was not a very interesting game to watch. In fact, the Cats were lucky to win, as they did not score any tries, and missed 4 penalties. A win is a win I guess, but it wasn't pretty. We then stayed on, and watched the next game in the suite - Bulls vs Brumbies. The quality of the game was about 300% better that the Cats game, and quite a battle right up to the last minute. The Brumbies managed a last minute try to take the game - what a quality side though. With players like Gregan, Larkham, Mortlock, Smith and Giteau, you need to play really world class rugga if you want to win your game.
