The Lions Truely Disappoint

[jargan83]

Has a team ever gone through a Super 12/14 season winless as the Lions are only 4 games away from achieving?

With a run home of Bulls (away), Force (home), Blues (home) and Cheetahs (away) I think they will go winless.

Any Bookies about?

Ask and ye shall get too much information...

The short answer is no for S14 but yes (Bulls '02) for S12 and yes if you count it for the S10 (Otago '93, Eastern Province & Waikato '94, Tonga '95)

Year/Least Wins/Win/Loss/Draw/Matches/Comp

1993 Otago 0 4 0 4 Super 10
1994 Eastern Province/Waikato 0 4 0 4 Super 10
1995 Tonga 0 4 0 4 Super 10
1996 Crusaders 2 8 1 11 Super 12
1997 Highlanders 3 8 0 11 Super 12

2000 Sharks 1 9 1 11 Super 12
2001 Bulls 2 9 0 11 Super 12
2002 Bulls 0 11 0 11 Super 12
2003 Cats (12)/Sharks (11) 2 9 0 11 Super 12
2004 Cats 1 10 0 11 Super 12
2005 Cats (12)/Sharks (11) 1 9 1 11 Super 12

2009 Cheetahs 2 11 0 13 Super 14
2010 Lions 0 9 0 9 Super 14

And for anyone thinking it is tough going supporting the Force, consider this track record for the faithful Transvaal/Gauteng Lions/Cats/Lions supporters!

Jeez - not above 11th in nine years. Bet they wish for the glory days of 2000/01.

Well they were grouped together with the Cheetahs as the Cats then so maybe in their own twisted way they don't!

Super 10 doesn't generally get included in Super Rugby stats whenever I've read them - otherwise you could say they won the thing in 1993!

Ditto Reds

That's true. At least they topped the Super 12 ladder a couple of times though!
