After two weeks of the 2010 Super 14, it is clear to me that this is going to be one of the most exciting competitions for years.

The rugby being played is fast and free-flowing, which has been what the game has been lacking over the past few years.

However, there still needs to be some thought to go into developing a way that the defending team can still have rights to the ball without getting penalised every time they try. 

The main talking point of this week's games has been the Chiefs' 72-65 win over the Lions. Eighteen tries in one game, that just doesn't happen!

So now to rank the teams based on their form so far this year. (Last week's ranking in brackets)

 

1. The Bulls(1): Last Week: Won vs Brumbies 50-32   Win/Loss: 2-0

The Bulls reclaim their No. 1 spot as they take a convincing home win over the touring Brumbies. Morne Steyn led the way with two tries, five penalties and five conversions landing 10/11 kicks.

Positives: The Bulls are averaging 50.5 points per game so far showing how good their attack is.
Negatives: A slow start had the Bulls 15-6 behind at one stage in the first half.

 

2. The Hurricanes(3): Last Week: Won vs Force 47-22   Win/Loss: 2-0


The Hurricanes looked good on Saturday night as they blew aside the Force in a 47-22 win. Tamati Ellison held the key for the Canes as he set up their first three tries.

They went through a bad patch towards the end of the second half where they let the Force back into the game, but put them away in the second half with an all round strong p...
