The 2006 Commercial

The season saw the first joint commercial by the three SANZAR unions since 1996. The commercial was filmed in the Ukraine and is set in a laundrymart. The ad was attempting to draw interest, with the motto More teams, more games and more excitement at the end of the commercial. One player from each of the 14 teams was present, execpt for the Waratahs. A local extra named "Ouri" filled the role of Mat Rogers who injured his back in a test match for the Wallabies against Wales.

By the end of round twelve, critics began speculating that the pre-season favourites, the Crusaders, were losing their form after a draw against the winless Western Force and then a shock loss to the Stormers.[1] However they bounced back against the Bulls with a 4 try bonus point victory. After a few results fell in their favour they were able to comfortably beat the Brumbies, and finished for the second consecutive season on top of the ladder. The Bulls are a South African Rugby Union team competing in the Super 14 competition. ...


There will be 94 matches held over the 3 and a half months, with each team playing one full round robin against the 13 other teams, 2 semi-finals and a final. Every team will get one bye over the 14 rounds.

However, the Brumbies failed to secure any competition points at all, leaving the door open for the two South African teams. The Sharks played first, needing to win with a bonus point for four tries scored and a points differential of more than ten in their game against the Force. The Sharks duly achieved both and moved into fourth position on the table.


The Sharks were overtaken by the Bulls after the Bulls' 43-10 win over the Stormers. The Bulls needed to score four or more tries and win by at least 32 points and won by 33, securing the final spot after having the longest odds of the three teams that could have earned 4th.

Final

On the night of the final, Christchurch was shrouded in very thick fog, meaning visibility was very poor. The opposite side of the field was barely visible, and the advertisments were unreadable. The players thus had a very tough time, especially the penalty kickers on each side, who both misjudged the distance to the goalposts and fell short. No tries were scored in the first half, all points came from penalties leading to a half-time score of 6-3 to the Crusaders. In the second half, more penalties were awarded leading to a score of 9-all, before the Crusaders scored a converted try bringing it to 16-9. Each team kicked another penalty, bringing the final score to 19-12.
