Here's looking back at the latest from the Rugby Club Plays of the Week for Super Rugby. The last two week's are jammed into one video, with the all the best hits, tries, and funnies, as per normal.
You'll be singing along after a few minutes, then enjoying the best of the playoffs.
Next week the guys from Fox Sports will feature their Plays of the Season, so look out for that.
Why try to bring it back up?
For a bit of a laugh, that's why. What people keep missing about POTW is that it's supposed to be fun, and Oz and NZ have had fun niggling each other about anything and everything since Moses played halfback for the Hebrews, probably earlier.
Probably because it was the last time anyone got into niggling McCaw since Cooper. I agree this was a different situation only in that it was a lot more deliberate and one-way than Cooper's, who can at least argue that McCaw gave him some undue fisticuffs. The Chiefs pushed McCaw around at least 4 times in the first half of the game, at the bottom of rucks, in lineouts, in loose play. They were clearly going after him. Surely nothing he couldn't handle; he is a big boy and this is rugby. But maybe it got him just slightly off his game and that was the difference.
I'm a fan of plays of the week and the guys who do it, but why are they comparing the Quade Cooper incident to the other? The two incidents are different and so are the players' circumstances and relationships. They know that. I like Cooper, but he was just being a dick. Why try to bring it back up?
