OP posting the end of the regular season standings for the top 8 teams

I still can't believe the Hurricanes finished first

Loins really shat the bed on that one.

Subbing out your entire first XV in the last week of the competition is madness, when you're the first placed team and you have the ability to lock up a home final (which RSA teams never lose because of the travel) is fucking madness.

They fucked it pretty bad top of the table was theirs to lose

So I was bored and did this.

Northern Hemisphere teams' record against the big strong southern hemisphere 3

England - W40, L80, D4
France - W41, L91, D9
Ireland - W16, L66, D3
Scotland - W14, L69, D2
Wales - W15, L86, D2

tl;dr Wales are shit

Please keep posts relevant.
Thanks.

I've been looking forward to the quater finals all week.

landers
canes
lions
chiefs

This is what I believe but I tipped NZ teams. Can't betray my country

radicallyfat vs. GrandPersis to decide H2H this week lads.

Why are Waratahs fans so much more elite than the rest of you casuals?

TOP FUKN KEK

janny just delete this shitty general already rugby is a fucki

Who is janny?
H2H is a meme and a waste of time. The dead accounts made it retarded

Execute all tripfags.

Eradicate all namefags.

is there a reason why france has played more games than any of the other teams?

They don't fuck about with Lions tours every 4 years.

WE WUZ KANGZ

Cubo... Cubo!!!

>it's a cumsaders lost so have to play their game at memeoclock in memefrica

They are less afraid.

They get further in world cups so play better teams more often :^)

>and hopefully get btfo episode

I'll meme fuck Crushedchurch as much as the next guy but all NZ semi is what we want. 100% domination so that they change the format of super rugby to make more sense next year

>tfw couldn't give a fuck about the chiefs or crusaders game

>they both lose

...

lol wut. Number of wins beats points differential. So brumbies higher and Chiefs higher

I hope the crusaders are prepared for a 15 to 4 penalty count in favour of the Lions.

lel

JUST

i made this to please your (and my) autism

this should be the correct ranking not sure what happens in the lions highlanders spot, i think its something to do with points for or against or tries scored

poosaders have always been too poowerful 2bh

>(a) Most wins from all matches;
>(b) Highest aggregate points difference from all matches;
>(c) Most tries from all matches;
>(d) Highest aggregate difference of total tries for versus tries
scored against from all matches;
>(e) Coin toss.

Lions should be above Highlanders

>this should be the correct ranking
except it's not.

>except it's not
What did he mean by this?

we are talking about the standings if you take away the confrence bullshit from this post so if you swap highlanders to 3rd and lions to 2nd that is the overall standings here

There are too many teams.
We need to go back to super 12.
Every team should play every other twice.
Fuck Japan. Fuck Argentina. Fuck the Kings and fuck the Force.
2 Nth Island Teams, 2 Sth Island teams.

what about adding 2 more teams and having 2 pools of 10. bottom 2 teams of A drop, top 2 teams of B are promoted at the end of each season.

there are a lot of things they could do but cutting """"""""our"""""""" teams is not ideal for us

Highlanders by 20
Hurricanes by 15
Lions by 10
Chiefs by 3
tßh

Oi gentleben you here m8?

because super 12 was GOAT and this is bullshit.

Yes.

...

Why aren't they using your mug in the fb ads?

>how to kill interest in rugby in Australia: the post

>super 12 was GOAT
>wanting to cut a NZ team
cofirmed for casual

Alright lads who's heading to the official /rug/ quarter final viewing party at /TheFox/?

I'm bringing my gf so dress nice

is this some jaffa thing? ill pass mate

>being too young to have ever watched a super 12 game
>thinking your opinion matters

whats for dinner lads
got my pay this week so i might rouse up a bit of hells pizza

Does your gf have any qt friends?
I'll dust off my going-out slacks.

Better let /rug/ choose ur toppings lah

>not knowing about /TheFox/

Freshies aren't invited sorry.

I'll see if she can round some up lad

I reckon I'll get the chicken wings they're pretty dece

We need to wait til the charges get dropped.

>being too young to have ever watched a super 12 game
wew this damage control. i was in highschool and in the "top" team for whatever age i was during super 12. i watched almost every game with my dad
incase you """forgot""" there where 5 NZ teams in super 12 rugby. why cut one if thats what you want to bring back?

the fox is shit
that said if they're staying open i might go there for the canes game and hang around for the cumsaders

>damage control
>I was in high school and the top team and my dad...
haha
Because the Blues have been awful since 2003
SINCE TWO THOUSAND FUCKING THREE

Sweet cheers. I'm pretty handsome so only 8/10s or above cheers.
>Nina-level slags need not apply

>Because the Blues have been awful since 2003
they have been pretty consistantly in the top 10 in recent history, and during super 12 era they were champs 3 times. there is 8 other teams i would cut before the blues 2bh lad

Daily rugminder that the Basedbies are going to win Super Ugly and there is NOTHING that the Poolanders can do to stop >us

You weren't invited southern scum.

just checking that you werent talking about the fox here jafas. would have joined if it was. no need to be hostile

Lad has a point.
>top 10 out of 14 teams
OK yeah whatever bro I'm too tired to argue.

>top 10 out of 14 teams
there is 18 teams now, before that there was 15 and then 14. and to start with you were talking about when there was 12 and they were consistantly in the playoffs

bye casual. btw going to be the blues year next year screen cap this post

>kiwis arguing like retards: the thread

It's over. Kiwis have ruined /rug/. We can have no good communities.

maybe if your "teams" were better there'd be more of you posting in these threads discussing the game instead of one shit team making it through because of the meme conference system

Not them but one went into seething damage control when outted as a casual
The other is probably autistic

I know how many teams there are and have been you silly fuck. The only good Blues era was 12, the meh era was 14 and since then the goddawful 15 era. get off your fucking high horse, I've been supporting blues since the 90s. Turn your name on too so we can filter you.

names on please namefags.

ROLL CALL

Shitspouter you here m8?

I live with my mum.

>awful
>still better than 1/3 to 1/4 of the competition
by NZ standards they are bad, by Aus and Saf standards they are middle of the pack.

>50% of teams that have won super rugby are australian
>New Zealand teams have only won super rugby 3 times from 25 attempts

lel.

I'm literally a balding 40-year-old.

you seem to be confusing your flags lad

ah so you're an idiot, never mind then

Now perhaps.
My scope is a bit wider than yours laddie.
Honestly please, can't be fucked arguing, lets keep it positive.

Highlanders out of NOWHERE in '99

I'm openly homosexual.

I'm still upset about the Hurricanes loss in 2006 with that bullshit foggy game
"""We""" should have won

Missed that one, was living overseas. Where was it?

>tfw an entire week of 27+ temperatures in july
im too fat for this shit

Nice "winter" you've got there.
Anyway, go for a run, lad.

Oh fuck off the crusaders would have still won by miles. The fog almost fucked them over too, had they lost it would have been 100% "THE FOG MADE US CHOKE" for years

The only time the Hurricanes legitimately had a chance was last year, and even then I knew they'd choke.

Hurricanes year?

>in the finals every single year but two for 10 straight years

No wonder we trigger those poorth islanders so much, they will never know success this great.

Final was in chch. Thick fog so bad that on TV you couldn't see the white ball well hung around almost the whole game
I think something controversial happened before, during or after the match but I can't remember

Are you telling me that the cumsaders' cheating and poor sportsmanship can even control the weather?
Glass chch tßh

its always ""our"" year mate

Coles on AB captian watch too imo, Read has been exposed as a "Richies coat-tails baby"

Execute all Cuntabrians.

As long as it's >our year next year (blues)
p.s. sorry man but LFWRLABM isn't an AB-level captain

>super rugby starts in 2011
>2 Australian teams win, 2 New Zealand teams win
>kiwis struggle with the mathematics

fucking state of you lad.

Nah the other user is right we probably would have lost in good conditions 2bh. But "it was our year"

The controversy was tana with the handbag thing post match

Alright alright calm down you fucking boguns. Games haven't even kicked off yet and everyone's SEETHING already

Must be your year then m8. I'll root for youz.

mate you need to lay off the turps, you cant even count to 3

Mate 2011 was "Super XV(15)" "super rugby" is just this year mate
