Looked bad from the slo-mo.

Goode will suit the Sharks style of play which isn't flash - simple, direct rugby. He is organised, has a good boot and most importantly is experienced so will pick up quickly. They needed someone and this is as good as it's gonna get.

Blaauw's injury is a real setback for the mountain goats. I think the scrum dominance will be reversed by the Stormers at the lineout. And the back rows will be pretty evens, so I think its hard to call which is why I tipped the Stormers by 3, purely on home advantage.

Big blow fopr the Bulls. Second rower Danie Rossouw out with a knock to the neck in training. Replaced by Flip vd Merwe, a big unit but they lose tons of experience and some mobility in the T5. Not good for the Bulls.

Did it look like he can play 10 at this level?

I would like the ARU to explain how playing Sam Harris at 10 is protecting depth. I think I'll fall off my chair, I'd laugh so much. How about getting someone at 10 who can pass the ball to the young players so they can build experience.

Uhm, I don't think he's being serious. Banter, you know?

A case of being petty? Only yesterday the Sharks announced that they will borrow a reserve lock from the Bulls as two of their players are injured. Now I see Andy Goode will join the Sharks becuase one of their 10's is injured and the second retired out of the blue. I see nothing wrong with...

Needed some fixing. :thumb

Well I hope I'm right becuase I think he has more natural talent than Barnes, who becuase of his poster image has been talked up way too much. Time will tell.

I've said it before, Quade has done more impressive things in a Wallaby jersey than Barnes has even thought of doing. So far all the talk has been about Barnes and Quade is the one that's played the rugby. I reckon with the right mentoring this guy will achive more than Beale and Barnes put...

Based on the Brumbies scrum against the Force and what the Bulls did to the Cheetahs last weekend I back the Bulls to do the Brumbies scrum. Anyway the game will be won or lost at the breakdown. Now there's a great ingisht for you.

Dippenaar at 13. Big call. No, huge call. Stand up son. This is the big time.

So a third of the tries are gone, more than double the penalties and all in the name of "running rugby"? Anyone seen a stat on kicks during play? It will be less, but by how much? But I'll reserve judgement uintil round 4. :nta:

Blaauw, the impressive young Stormer LH prop is out. Big blow for the mountain goats. WP scrum was dominant in CC last year with this guy. Tahs should now def dominate the scrum. http://www.keo.co.za/2010/02/16/cape-scrum-loses-key-prop/#more-51544

You clearly did not watch the Hurricanes or the Force last weekend. Force to get murdered.

Bruce, may I suggest you consider for a minute that there are some of us who not only like to anayze things, occasionally bag players, but also engage in idle (and often mindless) banter. None of these are mutually exclusive. The art lies in deciding what to read, not read, and take seriously...

Picking the Cheetahs. The Sharks look clueless.

Great news about Jantjes. I tell you what I don't get. At 72 min and again 75 min your lot had a penalty against the Lions. What did they do? Go for posts? Why? I nearly had a fit. Go for the bonus point ffs. That just shows a lack of self belief. kick it for the corner. Drive it up. Why in...

Paarl what's the story with Fondse. Is he injured?
