Super Rugby is well and truly back with last year's whipping boys the Auckland Blues playing some incredible rugby and new boys Southern Kings giving the bookies a headache through some very impressive opening performances, not looking like the walkover everyone assumed them to be.
The tie of the matches so far was the one below. Chiefs vs Highlanders in round two. What a game. Check out the wheels on number 13, Tim Nanai Williams. He appears to accelerate whilst breaking stride, either an optical illusion or just bloody amazing. People were concerned about the Sonny Bill Williams shaped hole in the centre at the beginning of the season.
Suffice to say, not anymore.

What about that sequence of play around 63 minutes into the game?! Incredible stuff. Nanai Williams out on his feet after scoring. Fitness levels are out of this world. Biggest surprise package so far - Blues. Come back strong this year after poor season and losing key players. Rene Ranger = mutant.
