A list of puns related to "2011 Super Rugby Season"
I know it's a bit of a longshot, but any help would be much appreciated. The reason for the rather niche request is that I'll hopefully be getting Lachie Munro on my podcast where we look back at a match and chat about it, so I was hoping to find a match he played in. I know the Reds vs Blues Semi-final from 2011 is on YouTube, but I was wondering if there were any other options.
I'll start with Blues as it's my team

Which teams disappointed? Are the Crusaders boring? Why did teams in red win? Who's up for Trans Tasman?
I think the kiwi teams spending 10 weeks smashing the crap out of each other beforehand could be the leveller that super rugby has been missing for quite a while. It's been so long since all 5 of the NZ teams were so evenly matched and with 2 Aus teams having realistic expectations of making the final and another 2 bringing competitive games, this could be the best super rugby comp in ages.
I can't wait.
KD and Jeff were both rookies in that 2007 Super Sonics team. Towards the end of Jeff Green's rookie contract, he was traded to Boston. Just after he signed his first big NBA contract, it was voided after Boston found out about his aortic aneurysm.
He came back a year later, and has been a good contributor while being very durable (70+ games played in each season). What bothers me is that this is his 10th team in 13 seasons.
The Nets need to win one for Uncle Jeff.
1) Alex Hodgman (Blues) A tight call for the loosehead spot, but Hodgman just gets the nod over Johnstone and Moody for me. He was one part of a Blues scrum which was probably the best they've had for a number of years. On top of that he showed a good work rate around the park, often making plenty of tackles and carries a game.
2) Codie Taylor (Crusaders) This spot could easily be any one of Taylor, Coles or Dixon but I've gone with the Crusaders man. He seemed to get better and better each week and by the end of the season he was racking up huge numbers with ball in hand whilst also nailing his core duties.
3) Ofa Tu'ungafasi (Blues) Definitely the standout tighthead of the competition. Tu'ungafasi was a key part of a solid and often dominant Blues scrum, and he showed his dominance in other areas particularly in defence.
4) Patrick Tuipulotu (Blues) Tuipulotu really seems to have worked hard on all aspects of his game and it shows as he had probably his best season yet for the Blues. He seems to have become more of a presence both as a player and a leader as he really lead from the front for his Blues side.
5) James Blackwell (Hurricanes) Blackwell earned the praises of many across the season due to the huge workload he got through each game. He constantly topped the tackle count for his side, as he finished with the 4th most tackles (and most of any lock) of any player and put his hand up as both the main lineout option and a ball runner in the tight.
6) Shannon Frizzell (Highlanders) One of the first names on the team sheet. Frizzell was electric from the get go and he might well have earnt himself another shot at the All Blacks number 6 jersey. He was a force to be reckoned with both on attack and defence as he finished up with 4 tries (2nd equal), 9 offloads (2nd equal) and 98 tackles (2nd).
7) Lachlan Boshier (Chiefs) May have played the majority of the season with 6 on his back but he's a natural openside so I'm slotting him in here. Boshier was one of the few Chiefs players who constantly turned up and tried all he could to get his side that elusive win. He was effective on both sides of the ball as he finished the season as one of the competitions most effective breakdown and lineout operators as well as the equal second top try scorer.
8) Hoskins Sotutu (Blues) There's a reason his name was being mentioned across the globe during the early stages of the season. He may have missed the 2nd half of the season
