Week One

The Blues kicked off the last Super 12 season with a comprehensive 30-14 win against the Highlanders in Dunedin. The game was not a memorable occasion for Highlanders captain Anton Oliver, who was making his 100th Super Rugby appearance^[1]. In Sydney the Waratahs cruised to a 25-7 victory over the Chiefs in Sydney, with Mat Rogers providing the spark, while in South Africa the Stormers accounted comfortably for the Sharks 26-12 at home in Cape Town. The rematch of last year's Super 12 finalists ended the same way, the Brumbies recording a 32-21 victory over the Crusaders in Canberra, while the Hurricanes overcame the Reds 24-10 in Brisbane. In a highly unexpected finish to the proceedings of Week One, the Cats recorded a meritorious 23-17 over the highly fancied Bulls in Johannesburg with the mercurial André Pretorius leading the way, scoring 18 points.

Final

The last Super 12 final was played at Jade Stadium, Christchurch between the Crusaders and the Waratahs. The Crusaders dominated the first half and the 14-6 halftime scoreline was not a true indication of their authority. Further tries to Leon MacDonald and Caleb Ralph in the second half gave the Crusaders a match-winning 35-6 lead before letting the Waratahs in for three "soft" tries, but it was too little too late for the men from New South Wales.
