The ACT Brumbies, the only local team that made the 2019 Super Rugby finals series, were eliminated earlier today by the Jaguares (from Argentina) 39-7.
The Jaguares will now play either the Canterbury Crusaders or Wellington Hurricanes in the final.
Canterbury Crusaders won their 10th Super Rugby title beating the Jaguares 16-3 in the final.
On July the 6th…
What a performance by the Wallabies tonight. In the first rugby union match at Perth’s Optus Stadium, the Wallabies stunned the All Blacks 47-26, in front of the biggest ever attendance for any sport at the venue - 61,241. The All Blacks were hampered by Scott Barrett sent off on the stroke of half time over a shoulder charge.
However New Zealand will retain the Bledisloe Cup for another year if they beat the Wallabies at Eden Park in Auckland next week.
Where the Wallabies haven’t won since 1986!
Air New Zealand has published a full page ad in The Sydney Morning Herald today ahead of the Auckland clash. If the All Blacks lose, their world ranking could drop from No.1 to No.6 depending on results from other warm up matches ahead of the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
The All Blacks thrashed the Wallabies 36-0 Eden Park, thus retaining the Bledisloe Cup for 17 years in a row. Why is it so hard for overseas teams to win at the venue?
Because Australia isn’t good at rugby?
they were last week and they finished higher than the All Blacks in The Rugby Championship.
Folau stung by explosive court papers:
If Australia qualify for the Quarter finals in RWC2019, will Reece Hodge return from suspension?
Definitely.
Japan has upset Ireland in the Pool stage beating them 19-12 today.
4 years ago, Japan beat South Africa in the RWC2015, but they have stunned Ireland in the WC.
What a match that was. Japan’s defence in the last 20 minutes was outstanding.
Japan have now won 2 out of 2 matches.
Also. Uruguay have recorded an upset win over Fiji 30-27 in Kamaishi. Uruguay recorded it’s first RWC win since the 2003 Tournament. It was also Uruguay’s first win against a Pacific Islander country.
Went fishing on Friday with a couple of Fijians, they were very quiet about the rugby, not happy at all… Well done to Uruguay though
Oh Wallabies…
