Enjoyably droll but wickedly accurate appraisal of Australia’s current Super Rugby teams’ performances courtesy of BP. Can’t wait for the snakes and ladders game to continue! Makes it fun for those of us in the Roar’s tipping comp. PS: This correspondent is hoping to climb into the ladder’s Top Ten club overt the weekend!

Progress is slowly happening: What each of our Aussie Super Rugby teams must do to take the next step

… and what to make of Michael Hooper’s performances? He had more opportunities in the Singapore tournament, but didn’t exactly shine. Will he get to the Olympic Games?

The Singapore Sevens threw up some weird and surprising results - that was except for the dominance of the Kiwis, of course

Charlotte Caslick’s absence arguably cost the ladies another victory in the World 7s. The Madrid final might witness revenge on the Kiwis!

Too many Aussie Super Rugby teams fail to go the distance!

Blues turn it on late to smash Rebels as gun young lock finally stands

I fear that Aussie rugby is in terminal decline.

Yeh, but they’re not a patch on the Polish team!

Great analogy, CS

Wallabies' young gun mulling NRL switch as Rebels' future continues to cloud picture

For much of the game, Vunivalu was wandering around like a proverbial lost soul. Prone to laziness, he’s much more of a liability than he is an asset! He’s had plenty of time to adjust to Rugby Union now. Rugby Loig PLEASE take him back and tout suite while you’re at it.

The Wrap: Rebels young gun rockets out of Wallabies contention, and why Samipeni Finau's 'brutal' hit on Edmed was fair game

Wilson’s simply not up to Test level!

I wish the NRL take Vunivalu back!

Thanks to Stan, it was possible to keep tabs on the Hong Kong 7s while watching the Super Rugby action and vice versa.

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

Easter Saturday’s clash in BrisVegas between the Reds & Brumbies promises to be a battle royale. The victor will gain significant impetus, as far as the home title is concerned, and the match will also no doubt provide new coach Joe Schmidt with some Wallaby pointers.

The Wrap: Wallaby's brain fade that cost the Tahs, con job worthy of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

The red balloon was well and truly deflated by the Force!

Reds' 'unbelievable, unfathomable' double disaster sums up shocker as Force spring stunning upset

Early days, of course, but if the Reds continue to play with the accuracy, attitude, acuity and application that they’re showing in Super Rugby at the moment, methinks they will form the nucleus of Joe Schmidt’s first Wallabies line-up.

Joe Schmidt's search for a 'cold-hearted bastard' - and the issue he'll lose most sleep over

Having snapped up the 19-1 available about the Reds winning this year’s Super Rugby title — on the strength of their slick trial performances and an astute change of coach — I’m not surprised that they’ve already come down 6 points in current TAB odds. They’re playing a super fast and attractive to watch brand of rugby that will pull the fans in. Long may it last!

The Wrap: Reds light up Melbourne, while it's lights out for TV over Lienert-Brown concussion

News Corp’s coverage — or rather non-coverage — of Rugby Union continues to be derisory … at best! I sincerely hope Murdoch never gets Rugby broadcasting rights again. STAN’s coverage is so much better.

The Wrap: ‘World’s best provincial rugby competition’ delivers a superb Super Round

For me, Suli is clueless!

Super Rugby teams: Marky clear for Crusaders clash, Blues rest two All Blacks after just ONE week, DMac to face Brumbies

The Wilson-McReight partnership was on fire!

The Wrap: Opening round of SRP a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same

Geoff, Given that a ‘water boy’ was on the field in front of Garbisi, shouldn’t the penalty have been re-taken!

It was a great game, given the horrid conditions!

Personally, I love the Reds positivity under Kiss!

Brisbane would assuredly have been a better venue for the Super Round!

Geoff, Do you know how many advance ticket sales there are for the Super Round?

The Wrap: Opening round of SRP a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same

Yup, the Chiefs and Crusaders played a different game! The skill factor of the players in both teams was way above that in the other two matches.
