It is Round 10 of Super Rugby 2014 this weekend! We have 6 games in Round 10, with 2 games on Friday and 4 games on Saturday.
The Brumbies, Highlanders & Reds have bye weekends.
In June / July 2014 the Antipodian teams will catch up in played games with the South African counterparts, when the South African sides sit out for 1 Round.
The Combined Log will therefore be skewed for the majority of the competition and one has to question why individual countries are allowed to start such a long competition ahead of it’s rivals. In 2013 the Australian sides started a week early, but at least they had the excuse that they needed an extra week in the middle of the year to prepare for the British & Irish Lions series, which they lost.

Yikes !!
No pressure then!
😯
Traveling again, so much fun
the decay of London can easily match that of JHB’s CBD, no doubt
🙁
The Bulls at Warathas; if the Bulls haven’t raised a hell with SANZAR regards the forward passes last week then they are ripe for the taking, that’s not a bad Bulls team though
Too close to tell.
Cheetahs at the Sharks: Joubert, Jonker and Peiper all to line up to support the current SA darling, the Cheetahs did bench The Trevor though, one might wonder why?
😉
The Sharks by 15 pts Plus
The Lions at Newlands; we all gonna see who are the Stormers’ best Friends; SARU!
JdV has booked already his Unisex Hair Saloon appointment for the pending winning Captain’s interview 🙂 🙂
Stormers by 14 to 17
nortierd @ 4
or in zoomers case it would read:
“with great power comes the power to deny responsibility!!”
So………………………………………… the Highlanders have a Bye !
They also have a flasher.
Decent Lions side. A bit of pace at the back and Kriel adds some balance to the loose trio. Look for the Lions to be full of running and will be looking to score 4 tries.
Time to do my picks
All the Team Sheets are now complete for the weekend!
Hurricanes have a very good Starting 15,
and an, “okay to good” bench.
I fully expect Cory and the Boys to kick the crap out of the Blues.
And I will continue to select what will become the most unsuccessful picks of the weekend in each of the pools that I am in!

@ cane:
You should be careful with a gravetar like that.
It could easily morph into one “Lord Blackadder”, and before you know it, you’ll have a sidekick called Baldrick, and have a cunning plan, and be buying a house (or castle?) in Christchurch.
9 @ Lion4ever:
The forwards look strong and will, I think match the Stormers in every department at the very least.
The Lions should have the upper hand at scrum time, and our line out has been far more convincing with Coetzee at hooker.
I have concerns in the backline though.
A VERY lightweight back three in terms of defending ability.
If the Stormers start to go wide with speed we could be in trouble.
Hopefully our loose trio will be moobile and awake to the threat.
I really like the look of Whiteley, Minnie and Kriel. Well balanced and explosive.
17 @ Scrumdown:
Also not really sure about Faf de Klerk getting dropped.
Paying for his indiscretions of last week?
Cronje is just not the mustard though IMHO.
scrumdown @ 16
@ Stormersboy:
Well you can pick the Stormers as they are going to win by a whisker!
😀
@ Scrumdown:
Don’t get his hopes up!! Or is this a tactical suprBru move?
21 @ Blue Bird:
Haven’t backed the Lions once on Superbru yet this season, and even though I think this game will be either damn close, or a runaway for the Lions, the chances are I’ll back the Flat Top Mountain Goats on Superbru.
Mustn’t tempt fate.
@ Scrumdown:
@ Ashley:
I am a Blackadder,
From my mothers side.
So I do NOT carry the name. But I am one, just the same.
About 500 of us, all up, in NZ…………………………………………………… And not a Percy or Baldrick among us. Though we do have some other burdens.
😉
@ Scrumdown: 😀 My thoughts too!!
I also struggled with the Chiefs v Saders…….
@ cane:
”
“We’re in the stickiest situation since Sticky the Stick Insect got stuck on a sticky bun.”
Canes/Blues………………………………Canes.
Rebs/Force…………………………………Force.
Tahs/Bulls……………………………………Bullies.
Guppies/Cheats…………………………Guppies.
Stormers/Leo’s…………………………..ROARRRRRRRRRR………Lions.
And there you have it Ladies and Gents.
Simple as.
😉
@ cane:
or –
“Oh, no, just a wild stab in the dark, which is incidentally what you’ll be getting if you don’t start being a bit more helpful.” 😆
Just love Blackadder… 🙂
