Super Rugby round 10 review & timeline of Star Wars, The Lord Of The Rings & The Matrix movies (+ An ANZAC Day to remember)

Well, round 10 of Super Rugby got underway as the Highlanders (Coached by Aaron Mauger) defeat the poor Blues outfit in Auckland with Shannon Frizell (Brother of league player Tyson) getting a hat-trick of tries then the Crusaders beat the Sunwolves in Christchurch under appalling/miserable conditions (First there was rain then hail & thunderstorms which nearly caused the game to be abandoned (Well they demanded a brand new covered stadium located in Christchurch to avoid all that kerfuffle) then they kept going as usual but the match saw the return of both All Blacks from injuries such as Izzy Dagg & Owen Franks) before the Chiefs came to Brisbane to lock, stock & 2 smoking barrels against the Brad Thorn coached Reds in which they got a bonus point victory in the end (Including that bone jarring crunching tackle/monstrous hit made by big Chiefs second five Johnny Fa'auli on Reds number 8 Caleb Timu sending shock waves, BOOMFA! So the smack down may have been laid upon by appearing on smashed em bro (It's a segment that appears every Friday on The Crowd Goes Wild on Prime, showcasing the biggest hits of the previous weekend) at number 1).
