The rules caught up to ALL of us. We never intended the DRAWS to be so dominating. All 8 remaining players left after the last Round, never expected a Bulls draw, so they all fall out and we have nobody left standing!
A draw is not a win and that is exactly how it feels after the Bulls disasterous draw against the Chiefs! It feels like the Bulls lost.
If one changes the Rules and count losses and draws together as NO WINS we will have all 8 players living to fight another day.
We could do a vote on this Article, and give only the players voting rights. They will have to submit their vote before 12:00 on Wednesday. The question would be Yes / No to change the format as follows:
- Count losses and draws together as NO WINS
The Rules:
- The moment ONE of your predictions goes astray, you will be eliminated from the competition and marked as OUT.
- The round in witch you took the dive will be in the ALIVE or OUT column. The list will will be updated at the conclusion of each Round of Super Rugby in 2014 and the players still ALIVE will be indicated in GREEN.
- When you fall out, your name will revert to RED when the updates are done.
- Simply selecting how many LOSSES and how many DRAWS every South African franchise will have in the OPEN Rounds (16 games a side), is enough, obviously the rest will be wins or bye weekends and do not matter in this competition.
Otherwise the competition can end, like initially intended and divide the prize into 8, but this is far from ideal.
Each franchise plays 16 games in the regular season, 8 against fellow South African Conference sides (home and away) and 8 against the sides in the other 2 Conferences.

@ Ashley:
Nope thats it, thank you goodnight bye bye England, they deserve this after the last few months.
England all out for 88!
Whooop!
YES!
Die Kaaskoppe groet met n lekker wen.
Gaan die Proteas ook die Afrikaanse taal en sy boetie laat voorstoel in neem?
Go Proteas
Nou vir n game waarna ek kwaai uitsien.
NZ vs SL
thanks for the EFFORT guys
I’m sure the people back home will be soooooooo proud of you!!
So of the Evil Cricketing Axis of India, England and the Ausmob, only the Indians got through to the semi’s.
Got to love the way the wheel turns.
Now to make sure the BCCI president goes to some filthy dark gaol!!!
#65
was aimed at England and not the Netherlands
57 @ Bullscot:
Let me clarify that comment Ash, I was pondering on whether England were missing the prescence of Kevin Pietersen, I already know that you are missing good ol KP
bullscot @ 68
yes I missed not seeing hom fail
bloody England management deprived me of a little pleasure there!!
nz vs sri lanka about to begin
So much of awesome
Gunther @ 71
huh?
England coach Ashley Giles: “I can’t tell you why it happened. We prepared the same way, we asked for the same, fearless performance we have shown against Sri Lanka and South Africa. It can only come down to complacency.
“That is down to every individual. We have to leave the players in control, there were some poor decisions made, some poor shots played and we were never in the game. With all due respect to the Dutch we are a too good a side to be losing to them.
“We just stuttered there and it was ugly and embarrassing in the end. All we can do is apologise to everyone at home.
“I believed I was 24 hours ago. I’m not sure that one performance has changed my mind. You have bad days at the office, and I still believe I can do the job.”
No wonder England lost with comments like these (Bold). It’s one thing to say that behind closed doors and to the team, but in public…..thats just looking for trouble
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip.. it’s pretty disappointing that he had to say that.
The Dutch did very well against SA and the Kiwi’s and showed that in this format of the game and in this conditions they can compete with the bigger cricket nations.
Sri Lanka seems to be in a spot of bother too and will have to be at the top of their bowling and fielding if they want to stay in the tournament.
So we all out after just a few rounds of SR.
