About: The Super 14 is the largest rugby union football club championship in the southern hemisphere, consisting of provincial teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The fourteen sides all compete against one another, with no divisional or pool system. Each team plays 13 games during the regular season which runs for fourteen weeks.

The teams in the top four places on the competition ladder after the regular season enter the finals leg of the tournament. The semi-finals are contested to decide the two finalists, which is played at the highest ranked winners' home ground, as opposed to a pre-selected neutral venue.

The current competition was inaugurated in 1996, and from the first season through to 2005, the competition was known as Super 12; the name change came about following the expansion for the 2006 season. The term Super Rugby is sometimes used when talking about the Super 14 and Super 12 collectively. Matches are now broadcast in 41 countries.

Super14 Round Up

The Bulls began their reign as defenders of the Super 14 realm with a gritty 16-9 win in Cape Town over the Stormers. Trailing 9-7 at half-time, Bryan Habana found space down the blindside to dive over and secure a hard-fought first victory over their South African rivals. However, celebrations were brief after the IRB Player of the Year was ruled out for a month with a cruciate injury to his knee.

Substitute, Earl Rose, kicked a match-winning penalty six minutes from time to seal a sensational comeback triumph for the Lions over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. The Cheetahs were quickest out of the blocks and raced into a 22-13 lead, but the Lions creative enterprise in midfield proved the difference with the Cheetahs eventually running out of steam despite outscoring their victors, three tries to two.

  • A man had a ticket for the Super 14 Final but was seated in the upper, nosebleed seats. As the match begins, he notices an empty seat down near the pitch on the midfield line. Taking a chance, he makes his way down to the empty seat and asks the man next to it if anyone is sitting there. "No", says the seated man," That seat is empty." "This is incredible," says the other man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super 14 Final, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?" The seated man says "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super 14 Final we haven''t been to together since we got married in 1961". "Oh ... I''m sorry to hear that. That''s terrible. But couldn''t you find someone else - a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?". The seated man shakes his head. "No. They''re all at the funeral
