The manner of their victories was starkly different: the Christchurch- based Crusaders needed a last-minute try to beat the Sharks’ 19-14 in Durban while the Chiefs ran in seven second- half tries in Hamilton to take a bonus point from a 54-10 win over the Western Force. The Crusaders’ only loss this season was to the Chiefs in the first round and their wins since over the Blues, the Kings and the Sharks have shown a steady improvement, especially in their attacking game. After beating the Crusaders, the Chiefs stumbled in a 36-32 home loss to South Africa’s Lions, but have since achieved the immense feat of winning successive matches in South Africa, Argentina and New Zealand. Those wins have placed them atop the overall table after five rounds, a point clear of compatriots the Highlanders and two ahead of the ACT Brumbies, who recovered from last week’s loss to the Stormers with a 25- 18 win over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. The Chiefs face the Brumbies next weekend in a top-of-the-table clash. After their unexpected loss to the Lions the Chiefs had to travel to South Africa where they beat the Kings in Port Elizabeth, cross the Atlantic to beat the Jaguares in the first-ever Super Rugby match in Argentina, then return home to beat the Force. In the course of those matches they traveled more than 20,000 kilometers (12,000 miles) and they achieved Saturday’s win at home though they had 12 front-line players out with injury. That left them with a makeshift bench, incorporating several players who had yet to play a Super Rugby match and veteran flyhalf Stephen BUENOS AIRES: Jaguares’ full back Joaquin Tuculet (2nd-L) vies for the ball with Stormers’ centre Juan de Jongh (C), during their Super Rugby match at Jose Amalfitani stadium in Buenos Donald, recalled to the colors after a Aires, Argentina on Saturday.—AFP five-year absence.

  • Programa Vs. Waratahs Final
    bienvenidos Queremos darles a todos una cálida bienvenida a nuestra tercera temporada en el Personal Super Rugby. Para nosotros es un placer, un orgullo y una responsabilidad inmensas estar en condiciones de participar en este certamen, que tiene el mejor nivel de rugby que hoy se puede encontrar en todo el planeta. Este nuevo Super Rugby de 15 equipos nos brinda la posibilidad de ver a los jugadores más renombrados del Hemisferio Sur y del mundo jugar en fines de semana consecutivos, tanto aquí en Argentina como en Sudáfrica, Australia o Nueva Zelanda. Esto, que hoy se ha convertido en una sana costumbre que se vive hasta con cierta naturalidad, hace no muchos años atrás era algo impensado y hasta utópico no sólo para el jugador argentino, sino para el público. Hoy, con inmensa alegría, tenemos por tercera vez la posibilidad de disfrutar de este rugby que es además, el espectáculo deportivo de mayor envergadura, calidad y reconocimiento internacional que tiene nuestro país. Casi ya sobre la finalización del mandato de esta Presidencia y Consejo Directivo, estamos absolutamente agradecidos del unánime apoyo que hemos recibido siempre de parte de todo el rugby argentino en su conjunto, representado por las uniones provinciales y sus clubes, que son, en definitiva, para quienes todos nosotros (La dirigencia amateur y los profesionales de la UAR) trabajamos incansablemente todos los días del año (con errores y con aciertos) pero siempre en pos de mejorar la cantidad y calidad de los torneos, de los entrenadores y jugadores que conforman el rugby de base, que son los cimientos del rugby argentino.

IMR estimates unreported fee values through comparisons with similar deals, contacts with industry insiders and through its long experience of creating sponsorship analysis reports. There is no guarantee of accuracy of estimates. The sponsorship industry is also known to overstate sponsorship fee values.
