All good questions but way too early to really answer any of them. Matfield and Botha are woefully out of form and Botha is likely to be suspended again. Don't think Elstadt will make it. We are unlikely to go to the World Cup with a rookie lock, or any bolters for that matter. We have Botha...

Can't see the Sharks beating the Saders as much as I hope they do. I am in London but can't make it to the game. Shit. A lot will be decided in the Sharks / Stormers games. Re Matfield. Shit, he and Bakkies are absolutely nowhere at the moment.

The Crusaders look like a completely different bunch this year. Better personnel and combinatiions in some areas and their defensive lapses from last year have not been seen. It will take a mammoth effort to beat them. In fact right now I can only see the Stormer's with a chance.

Their finishing at time has lacked. Not sur why. They are moving the ball well though which is why I think they will score more. Both last week and this week were slugfests. The Clan and the Bulls defended well.

I thought so. Until I actually watched the game and saw that they weren't that bad and how incredibly physical the Stormers' defense and physicality was. It was akin to the semi-final at Newlands against the Tahs last year. The Bulls came out in the second half with our typical relentless...

I have refrained from responding to your rabid blabbering for months but that is a fucking pearler.

The Reds will be much more succesful at breaking down the Cheetah defense and will win but not by much.

Oh didn't interpret it that way. I just believe winning is everything. How you do it is neither here nor there. They have too much class in the backline and will score more tries going forward. In last night's game the Bulls last ditch defense was great (the only thing that was)...

Utter claptrap sourgraped bullshit.

Win. Who cares?

Wow. Speechless. On numerous counts. For all the people who questioned whether Brussow will still have an impact on the game under these breakdown rules I say go smoke your collective socks. He is quite simply brilliant.

With the posession and amount of botched opportunities the Sharks had against the Rebels they should have coasted but 20+ The Rebels performance has been talked up up on the back of a lot of emotion. If you clynically analyse their play its pretty mediocre with occasional glimpses of...

I think thre is daylight between them. The Sharks are miles ahead. The Bulls and Stormers donlt seem to know what sort of game they want to play, the star players are doing absolutely nothing. The Sharks are playing a solid, direct style with width. You can see what they want to do and they...

Must be one of the least effective props around the park.

This is going to be nasty. Both teams have sucked and need to put down a marker. There could be some casualties.

Expect these guys to slow the game down. Looks thin. Very thin. Coenie Oosthuizen, Ryno Barnes, WP Nel Martin Muller, Wilhelm Steenkamp Heinrich Brussow, Phillip van der Walt, Ashley Johnson Tewis de Bruyn, Sias Ebersohn Fabiaan Juries, Andries Strauss (capt), Robert Ebersohn, Phillip...

Yes I saw them having a braaivleis with some good Aussie mutton and a couple of 'Roo steaks in the local park down the drag from Aussie Stadium. When I asked why they're not training they said the C Team is playing the Tahs. No need to risk their form players ahead of what should be a piece of...

It's on for the 27th. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/club/8382515/Twickenham-to-host-Super-Rugby-clash-between-Crusaders-and-Sharks-due-to-Christchurch-damage.html

Force play the way they did the last two weeks and they will win easily. Lions have been average regardless of all the positive vibes and the Cheetahs were terrible last week,

Cheetahs by 3. Caaarrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!! :)
