I thought we loved our rugby :?

The Stormers are doing good, Rassie should be proud of his team for their performances in their last 5 games. They turned it all around on their first match out-side SA which is impressive.

The Sharks will bounce back, it's good that they get a early wake-up call.

The Sharks and Stormers are both in the top 4 right? That's good :D

Yeah, what a weekend of upsets :?

The Sharks will have an easier game next weekend against the Waratahs IMO. Then the Crusaders. OUCH! and then we can come back for the lions, and the Chiefs, Which will be quite a test.

Boromir, you can't say the bulls are back after winning 1 game after 5 consecutive losses. Maybe they just got lucky.

How on God's green Earth can you predict the Waratah's beating the Stormenrs?! I mean really now get realistic they lost to he Bulls! :lol:

The Stormers will win.

The Sharks have an uphill battle.

I'm only joking please don't get offended, it will be a close game :)

The Stormers and Bulls will be the only two SA teams to win this weekend.

And before you all shout BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SHARKS vs. CHEETAHS GAME!? BOOHOOO!! :cry: :cry: ---- They'll draw! :wink: :P :lol: :lol:

Personally the Sharks' last few games were pathetic and were not anywhere near it is supposed to be. They peaked too soon. And the bulls are peaking to late. Sure, I can not judge by the two games we have won, but I can judge by the 5 games that the Sharks played overseas, and to tell you the truth, it was not pretty rugby. There was NO finishing, they had HORRIBLE handling and they played dirty. The most astonishing and wonderfull thing that came out of the Sharks' last 5 games, was Ryan Karkovsci's (sp) try against the Crusaders.

My money is on the stormers to represent SA in the Semi's. :D

Go STORMERS!! Go BULLS!!

There is another team besides the Bulls, Sharks Stormers and Cheetahs... but for the life of me I can not remeber who they are or where in SA they are from... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reds versus Crusaders ------- Crusaders by !error: Location out of bounds

Lions versus Chiefs ------- Chiefs by 14
Stormers versus Waratahs ------- Stormers by 7 +

@Darkranger:So you're not one of them shifty conspiracy theorists who suspects that the Cheetahs players may be given a little talk with respect to accidentally missing a few tackles or committing more than their usual quota of blunders?

I still wonder about that Bulls-Stormers 75-14 result a few years back....

:wink:

So you think that the Chiefs will have an off-day against the Kittens?

Why do you think that the Western Force will have the upper hand of the Hurricanes?

The cheetahs have a heap of potential, somehow they just go Super cr@p in the Super 14. Maybe they have a good weekend. And the sharks last few games were pretty cr@p. No denying that. I just don't think sharks will get it back together so soon after a crappy tour. Believe me, I want the Sharks to make semi's as much as I want the Stormers to, but at the moment their game just doesn't convince me.

about the 75-14 result: There is one very important thing you have to remember about that year (2005 if I am not much mistaken) We had what we call a coach back then. Now we have frans Ludeke and his ability to ruin a team was proven this year. :wink:

Chiefs might not have a bad day, but look at your history. Most NZ teams that tour SA struggle the first week in SA.

And then the WF. Did you watch lasts weeks game BTW? WOW! That was an AWESOME game. The Force have a win-win-loose pattern going on, and ATM it is on the winning side. :P I think the force will win, because in the last few games they have played some stunning rugby, and it may just be this week that they beat the 'Canes.

:wink:
