Yes - there are a few issues to be fixed i nteh fixtures. There seems to be one from each round a week early, and teh SA games which cross time zones as far as day goes are out as well. I've been fixing them up as I come across them - but haven;t found the time to sit down and look through thoroughly. SHould be OK up to Rnd7 (with possible expception of midnigh SA games (perth time))

Latest news is that the playing surface at AMI stadium has suffered major damage due to liquefaction and will be 5-6 months before it can be used again.

Rugby takes a back seat as Crusaders can Hurricanes clash
Jamie Pandaram
February 24, 2011
THE Crusaders have cancelled this weekend's Super 15 match as players deal with the tragedy of the Christchurch earthquake, and there are doubts about the city's capacity to host World Cup matches later this year.
NSW are scheduled to play the Crusaders there next week but that game will be moved from AMI Stadium, which was left waterlogged following the quake that has claimed at least 75 lives and left hundreds missing.
The Crusaders will today decide whether to possibly to shift the game to Sydney, or play it somewhere else in New Zealand.

Crusaders players and staff held a sombre meeting last night, during which it was decided to scrap the round two clash against the Hurricanes in Wellington, a fully understandable move given the mass human toll, including one of their own in director Philip McDonald. The players want to remain with their families this weekend.
It is now up to SANZAR and the New Zealand Rugby Union to decide if the match can be rescheduled or whether to simply award both sides equal points.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
and for those of you wondering what liquefaction looks like: [YOUTUBE]SGk2wb9Gs8c[/YOUTUBE]

61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
no thats due to the soil compaction forcing the water table above ground level.. no rivers or pipes anywhere near
thats pretty amazing...
"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
Wow - am guessing that the only cure for that would be time - is that why they are saying 6 months , also thinking that a lot of houses could do with underpinning as a result of this effect - these people do not need this

Apoarently they have canned the game..for the guys to be with their families..I think a fair do would be to award both teams equal points....
