Really looking forward to this game.
Went with home teams again this week on bru. Have Cheetahs by 2. Think Stormers will win it now…. my picks are not great this year….lol.
All the best to both teams. May the best team win. Go saffa rugby!
1 @ Puma:
Note the time of the match, Oompie… 17:05
Looking forward to see some good rugby here. May the best team win… as long as it’s the Stormpoppies of course 😉
Ooompie picked the Staat, so that means the Stompies have this one in the bag 😉
2 @ grootblousmile:
😉 I have boeta. Just thought the one in Perth would have been 12:45 not sure why, just as that is normally the time they play there. So totally missed that game. Doubt I missed much from what I read here.
Will not miss the big derby at 17:05 not a chance. Looking forward to it. We are braaing here just before, so will sneak in here for a post or few! .. hahaha.
Catch up then.

Fourie at 2 peh
I see Louis Ludik’s shoulder was operated on this morning, he’s out for 3 months. In addition Jacques Botes might have broken an arm yesterday evening… half the Sharks crocked, it seems.
I went for the Stormers by 5 on Bru…. not so sure now anymore…
Just forget the name of the guy in the studio that is host there. Anyhow he says “You get a feeling who wins next week could be the team that will top our conference” HUH? So has he discounted the Bulls who are on 19 points right now? Also Cheetahs are on 18 points. Our conference is still wide open, no easy wins in a derby games that is for sure. Bulls take on Cheetahs next week and Sharks take on Stormers. For now let us see who wins this game today. Just annoys me when some discount teams out like that. Cheetahs could be top next week as well if they win here and my Sharks lose next week. Plenty scenarios here still.

Nice chap, we often have a siggie together at Loftus
8 @ grootblousmile:
Shame feel really bad for him. Was the outstanding FB AGAIN this year in our conference as he was last year. Really was hoping he could get a Bok call up he so deserves. Massive massive loss for the Sharks. Fransie was not great at FB yesterday. He will get better there, but still feel he is better when fit at inside centre. Viljoen might have to play FB now until Fransie can get it together. Unless he gets better with more game time there that could happen.
@ grootblousmile:
I did the same. Whenever i went against Them they won. When I decided to go for them they lost!
11 @ grootblousmile:
He is a nice chap, though he got that wrong. Still too many games left for our teams to play to even think who will end up top of our conference. Can’t say it is between Stormers and Sharks next week who wins that game that probably end up top of our conference.
Okay braaing right now. Will catch up here for a few posts during the game.
Good luck to both teams. Hope it is a cracker.

21 @ leon:

Andries Langbek ready to come out for his 100th Super Rugby cap…
Question. Why isn’t Minnie playing Super Rugby? He did so well for Lions last year.
@ grootblousmile:
Hier in pta was dit koud vanoggend. Amper verkluim op die fiets.
