    Headline of an article on M-Web.

    “Man Beats Robot at Ping-Pong, World Breathes Sigh of Relief”

    I wonder how the Stormers would do?

    @ Scrumdown:
    Bunt each ball back to the robot?

    Stormers v Robots at Rugby.

    All but 2 robots get sent off with 15 minutes still to play.

    Stormers scrape to a 3 point win, but fail to get a 4 try bonus point!

    Overjoy

    Why would you want to change SuperBru?

    If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!

    152 926 players are playing in the SuperBru pools of the Super Rugby tournament… is’nt that a general indication that it works well and that the formula has been carefully worked out, how it should work?

    You can’t blame HM for bringing the older players back, at least they are not pissies and can take a punch
    There is no way he can plan for 2015 with Eben, Arno, Goose and PSdT
    Odds are they will be injured come World Cup time

    @ nortierd:
    Yes people are so easy to squeel how psdt and eben are the future etc etc, We can’t plan to go to the world cup with 2 guys that might not even be fit to play…

    Luckily we still have the best lock fit over the last year, namely Flip van der Merwe 😀

    whilst i check out the points allocation , i picked up something that tickle me. The BP was divided by 4 and gave us each .25 points. But there was in fact 5 who picked a win by 6, that meant that we should have got only .20 points.

    @ superBul:
    0.25 is the minimum

    in the energade pool over 1000 people got the correct score, so 0.001 point would not have been too great hehe
