[QUOTE="Rassie, post: 53874"] Now, let`s get back to rugby and let me make a short preview for the upcoming games in the round / week 2 Of course, i`ll start with SA teams (home games) Here we go Sharks - Vrystaat Cheetahs ( Sharks, despite all their termoils, manage a great start vs Chiefs! Percy, what a form! Impressive. ! We, on the other hand, can`t afford another loss. It`s a tough call but my money goes , as always, on the team with a stronger pack and that`s us! Cats - Chiefs Both team lost in their opening games! You may smile but the weather is a crucial factor in this game. Cats game is all in the backward line, Chiefs the opposite! It`s the skop/skiet/donner rugby (Cats) vs running rugby (Chiefs). If it will be wet at Ellis, big chance for Chiefs! Nice weather - Cats to win! It happend in the previous game when Stormers (the only team in SA that does not play in the traditional style) won vs much bigger Cats players in a very wet Ellis Park last Sunday. Bulls - Brumbies. Easy call, Bulls will get their 5 point. Brumbies suck badly in away games! Stormers - Waratahs . Stormers to have the upper hand. Both teams won in the first round but with plenty of luck especially for Tahs! Also , Tahs coming in less than a week in SA is a disadvantage for their first game at least. Moving to NZ encounters Highlanders - Blues ! Huh, my money goes on Highlanders! Let me explain why. First of all , both teams lost their first game. Blues are having a shitty start for two seasons in a row. Highlanders game vs Crusaders (despite the score) was smth very intersting. Please remember the situations when they were almost there but due to some mistakes failed! They are playing in House of Plain - tough to win there ! Also, IMO Blues are not physically able to give 100% for the whole 80 minutes! In terms of front rows Blues may have an advantage but let`s keep in mind Otago has still Olivier and his in good shape. Hurricanes - Western Force : easy call, can`t see any surprise here! Unfortunately Western Force has much to work in orther to be a team not just of bunch of players! Good luck for them, i`m very much found of WF In `giant rats` land Reds - Crusaders. Can here be a big surprise ? Possibly, don`t just write Reds off. Of course, from all points of view Crusaders are lookig better but Reds are capabile of some miracles! Just wait and see! If you like to risk some money, bet on the Reds! You might win ! [/QUOTE]
