Both Finals last week failed to fill out - same thing this week? Not good for rugby.

Fardy has a high average with a good deviation. So long as the Bulls don't build a gameplan around taking him out, he'll do well. Vant Leven is an up-and-comer atm, might even take the 8 for his own at this rate. I'd say he is at least 60, but probably 80. Mogg is clearly being told to kick by...

Team for the Semis: Tameifuna, Franks (Sio) Moore (Elliot) Vent Leven, Whitelock (Carter) Read, Todd, Fardy (D. Potgieter) Hougaard (Kerr-Barlow) Anscombe (Carter) Serfontein, Crotty (Kuridrani) Marshall, Dagg, Kirchner (Basson)

HSM Spies out, Aki on the bench. Nice idea to go against the stream, hope it works for you

namtrak Manu isn't even on the bench, better locks than Retallick available, Fardy over Mowen, Hougaard is Mr Consistent, Aki on the bench, Nanai-Williams not playing, Mogg is captain inconsistent.

Fitness is not an issue for the Brumbies, cohesiveness and effectiveness are the things to be worried about. Bulls scrum and lineout are easy pickings and Joubert will most likely penalise the hell out of them. Good for the Brumbies, we will need every penalty with kickbot nailing them from his...

aeneas Great, now we know there's another record for the Crusaders to beat :P

Brussow has the 6 on his back in a Saffa team, so he has a 7 on his back everywhere else.

Brumby Jack terms of release too steep?

Basically, the Kings wanted into Super Rugby and the Lions didn't want out. SARU can only have 5 teams in the comp so instead of merging teams or just ignoring the Kings, they decided that the Kings would get 2013 and from there on in, whoever lost the conference would play a home and away...

Tomane was a solid 6 on the G&GR scale, Cummins was a good 7/8 though, agreed. I prefer Tomane on defence however, watch only him for a game and see how quickly and effectively he repositions when the game changes.
