Super 14 Round 1 surprises:

There were a few surprises in round one, although the scores weren't as surprising as they could have been. These are the surprises that caught our eye:

1. 9 tries in the best of the all-african match.
2. Peter Hynes playing as fullback
3. James O'Connor unerring boot
4. Steve Meyer's exit from rugby
5. The ability of the Brisbane Reds to lose a game that they should have won
6. The storming attack of the Bulls the first round of the competition; it seems as though they had resumed last year's campaign
