  • The glory days of Super Rugby was definitely in the early years between 1996 and 2005. Attack rugby was part of every team and even though some teams like the Bulls and the Cats struggled initially, they were always willing to run the ball.
    The first decade also delivered some great finals, the best of which was probably the 2004 final between the Brumbies and the Crusaders.
    We look back at all 10 Super Rugby finals from 1996 to 2005.
    Enjoy and thanks for watching!

      Real Rugby they need to get rid of new rules. Such as not being able to pass the ball forward for yourself, or tackle the 9, or being able to kick in a ruck

      It was a good reply but every time they closed the gap the Brumbies just kept on coming up with more points to re-establish a safe lead soon after. Great team full of big name talent and a fairytale home final against the big threat red and blacks. 33-14 at half-time man. 33-0 was the opening 20 minute hiding.

    These were the glory days of super rugby, before the endless expansions and stupid conference and finals system. Look at the crowds back then as well, there was a real passion for it that you don’t see today. Shame how some of the iconic teams of this era. I.e. the Brumbies and Blues have slipped into mediocrity. Some things don’t change though; the Crusaders dominating the competition. Seemed to me in this era as well teams played more carefree rugby which made the games really entertaining. Nowadays you don’t see that kind of high tempo rugby very often. Only in the Kiwi derbies would i say that the quality matches what was served up in this era.

      Jovan ....i know it's a bit late but Rugby Union is the greatest game in the world. Rugby League is just Rugby with all the skill and finesse taken out , no where near as much strategy and thinking involved and it shows when you watch a boring League game. Anyway good luck and just have fun in what ever you choose mate.
