Gotta tip the Blues. They are under huge pressure. Unless the Brumbies can suddenly translate the potential on paper.

Anyway thios weekend is a tought one for both. The Bulls have always played badly against the Canes who are the last team to hand them a hiding (50 2 years ago). The Cheetahs know how to beat the mountain goats. We can have this discussion again in 3 weeks.

About time. There has been far too little focus on scrumming in SA for my liking. We got caught out. It will take time though but there is a hell of a good crop of about 6 or 7 props in the mix at the moment not to mention those outside of the S14 main squads. I feel a lot better about SA's...

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. Hardly a surprise. Anyone who has WC squad ambitions won't make any move like this. I must say it's not looking good unless they are keeping some high profile negotiations under wraps. Early days I guess / hope.

Reports are that the Bulls are fitter this year than ever and I think that showed in the first three games. Last weekend they just went to sleep after 20 minutes and coasted which pissed me off no end. The big problem for them is defense in the outside channels during latter phases. That is...

Yep four games at most. I reckon we are going to see a log jam with teams relying on bonus points to make it through. Jus't can't see a situation where any team will bolt out front and stay there. Let's not forget that the Aus teams have a dismal record of late in NZ. Gettign wins in NZ is...

Canes are done. They look rudderless. They will need a 100% turnaround once home and I donlt see it in them. Crusaders are starting to look ominous like the team of a few years back who just know how to win. The Canes lack depth. That was evident in Cape Town. Ripia is one dimensional at ten...

Yeah screw these bloody foreigners. Who needs them?

My counter argument is thta it is completely possible for the Stormers and Bulls to lose three of four games on tour and gain no bonus points. That puts them neck and neck wiht a lot of other teams. The can easily lose to the Reds, Blues and Chiefs. It all depends which teams pitch up on the day...

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. Surely they won't sign up in a World Cup year and impact their Bok aspirations?

Compared to the previous ten years? Yes. But it's a moot point. They will win more games. As sure as Tom Carter can't pass.

Well that's it. Alcohol makes it even worse so I don't drink anything. I just accept that I will be farked for a few days and that's that. It really is no surprise that the teams are underperforming in their first game this side. I find going that way much easier though.

None. Or haven't you been watching? But I take your point. Stormers traditionally have travelled the best of our teams but had a nightmare last year losing 5. Bulls won 2 last year on tour and lost 3, all within 3 points. They have been getting better at travel. Both play: Force, Blues...

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. Should be interesting. I believe he has never been filmed making a tackle.

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. Why Cip at 15? He's a 10, no?

In other words, two Tom Carters?

Adam's writing is a breath of fresh ait. Fuck I hate Growden the fat knob. As for the content of that article, well boys, the Saffer sides have been moaning for years and most of the time told to suck it up. Some people suffer more than others. I have a mate here who hardly feels the effect. On...

Smit summed it up. Shorks only have themselves to blame. Fark they make so many errors. Brumbies don't look like a team that can win this comp. Fowards are great. Back are nowhere on attack.

Must like men in uniform.

Rate this bloke. A lot. He was plug and play last year when Baxter went down like a sack of shit and for once didn't get up :fishing Baxter to Melbourne? Palmer has to get starts.
