SA Conferense matches

[PaarlBok]

This weekend some great matches coming up.

Stormers vs Kings. Should be interested to see this two against each other on Newlands. Look like a rain match and Cat Killer with Solomons knows the condition inside out. Stormers will have much more confidense after the Reds game plus Steenkamp and Fourie back. Feel sick to see Grobler dropping to the bench after the best possible debut against the Reds. Stormers by 40.

Cheetahs vs Brutes. This will possibly the conferense decider. Look at the team sheets this two have some great talent all over the backlines. The question is: Will the Tin Ears get enough possesion to spread some magic. Yes they will, Cheetahs by 20.

I hope the Kings get plastered and the Cheetahs get up by plenty.

 

[Blue]

Stampede. That is all.

 

[Rassie]

Its going to be like a game of Red Rovers. Rugby without a ball. They will be too busy trying to give each other the ball so they can tackle them than just taking the bloody egg and go plant it behind the sticks

What like the Stormers?

The Cheetahs don't like givign the ball away, in case you have not been watching.

Anyways, I would not comment on the attacking prowess of any other team in the comp if I were a Stormers supporter. Did you hear that they teach kids in the Cape schools that a "tryline" is what you do when trying to draw a straight line without ruler?

Or he is the charge office commander

Its cold and wet on Newland's Stormers leading 19-6 correction 19 - 11 Kings just scored from a rolling maul 6 minutes left

 

[Bairdy]

Bulls helping the Reds greatly by knocking over the Cheetahs at home.

 

[Rassie]

yeah but they let them have a couple of bonus points though

Cheetahs have finished games strongly all season. Could easily have gone pear shaped for the Bulls, but they did enough.

The Bulls are keeping the ball in hand a lot this last few weeks and doing it well. They will not win the comp with their scrum though. It is a total disaster.

True that Bulls scrum have turned over a few graves in the Blue Bulls graveyard.

For the Cheetahs I do not know what to say. Is Drotske and his fellow coaching staff the most clueless coaching team in the competition when it comes to playing the Bulls? Every year they get smacked the same way by them. They get out muscled. And the strange thing is they are based at altitude as well and start on a level field but then they go and try and beat the Bulls at their won game. They simply just give the ball away to the big Bulls forwards who are full of energy and let them get steamrolled.

True the Cheetahs changed their game plan from last week. No idea why.

Last week the allowed Willie to slot in at playmaker. This weekend he did it once - when he scored. They missed a trick.
