Crushing. Way to ruin my Friday night.
Anyway go Bulls I guess :D.

Firstly - I doubt many people "overrate" the springboks, we are a consistent top three side, that's often within range of Ireland, England and Wales. NZ is generally way ahead. No-one is claiming...

I'm not sure why everyone is so keen on Cooper, I guess Beale has been out of form but consider this:
- Cooper is a proven negative influence, already he has questioned the coach and the Wallaby...

Sharks have actually looked alright over the last couple of games. Feels like they are learning how to score again, Reds definitely enter as favourites but I'll have my fingers crossed that Sharks...

Aussie teams did start Super Rugby 1 week early which means that the Reds and Brumbies are artificially inflated a little, not to mention their conference is generally considered to be the least...

I'm afraid I'm not old enough to answer this question, certainly the poorest out of the last 2 tours, that may be SA bias but I don't think so.

edit: I just don't feel like the Wallabies have...

Tough call. If the Aussies were stronger in recent times I would probably want the Lions to win, as it stands though I almost feel like the Lions are the favourites, which makes me want the Aussies...

What about the tactic where you just don't engage in the maul? It was briefly popular for a while but it seems to have gone out of style, just let them make a meter and force the obstruction? You win...

From how I understand it, it will be a mini-log with the four teams getting similar points to a SR system (4 for a win, 2 for a draw, winning/losing bonus points etc) and after the first two games...

Completely agree on the fighting thing, there's more than enough opportunities to express physicality without fighting, I cringe every time someone seems to be starting a scuffle. Just doesn't make...

Poor execution from the Stormers in many aspects, a few vital errors, and the territorial kicking in a game that was all about territory just not up to standard.
Blues defence against the Stormers...

Glad to see Mtembu getting another start, I was pretty hungover last game but from what I remember he has the makings of a special player.

Should be a tough game for both teams, don't really even want to make a call as I feel it will be tight. I actually quite like van Aswegan, not because he's an incredible player, but I feel like he...

I prefer the look of the new backline, with Andries Strauss at inside and Waylon Murray at outside it was clogging up our midfield somewhat, at least with Cooke and Grey arranged as they are we...

Poor Sharkies :( hope they pull a rabbit out of a hat but I don't see it...

Haha we can only hope.

I do think the Stormers will win though, the Hurricanes aren't the type of side that beats the Stormers. We don't play loose at all and won't give the Canes backline any...

Haha :P winner.


My mates and I call him Sideshow Bob.

Well this is good news but only because I think it might give people like Willie a chance at FB for the Bokke.
I've always fancied Zane to be underrated though, he does everything right, he just...

Congratulations to the Bulls on a great performance. Obviously not too happy that we got hammered, but it's always good to see an SA team play some fine rugby.
Has shown us up in a big way, we don't...

THIS!
Perhaps he's to one-dimensional for the Aussie selectors, but much like Willem Alberts for the springboks, you need someone who will consistently break the gainline if you want your backline...

You're probably more or less spot on with regards to who Meyer will pick but I would love to see:
Kitsoff and Malherbe are getting better and better, possibly better options than the incumbents? To...

Haha yeah I realized too late ;) .
Think that list is a bit harsh though, your team would still beat a lot of other Super Rugby teams methinks :P.

Probably the best team the kings can field, no questions of rotaion this week.
We won't be easy but the Bulls are getting to that part of the season :P.

Bulls by 7.

Deon Fourie?? As in Stormers Hooker Deon Fourie?

Surely not, also Jantjies has been bang average and downright terrible at times, and Watson has played 22 minutes this season.
I'd struggle to...

Hard to compare the Cheetahs of old to the side this year. I've just been much more astute on defense to be steam-rolled heavily. That said, I'm sure the Bulls will take it, much like the Hurricanes...
