Week 11 of the Super 14 and the Blue Machine is rumbling again The top four remain unchanged, but the pecking order looks drastically different.

Reds (16) vs Stormers (13)

Is it too much to ask for a fair contest? For the second week in a row the Reds were helped immensely by the ref. I'll even go so far as to say, they won this won because of the ref.

Well done to the Reds, they have been allowe...
