I think Jannie is okay it semed more so when beast was replaced by Chadwick. Well that was my feeling. I could be wrong. Where is Herbst? Remeber him slotting into LH fo awhile last year and done a superb job there.
Jakes desperation is showing, he has always been able to put up a confident exterior, but it is obvious he is under massive pressure, because of the expectations on his shoulders. No rotation at all while he continuously talks about the “squad” and “squad system”.
A lot can be said about “keeping momentum”, but that should mostly apply to the latter part of the competition, all the while giving guys like beast and jannie some off time here and there, because they will play most of the incoming tour test matches…
The wheels are going to come off this train pretty dramatically.

Probably whilst on tour.
Need to gamble to either get back in the top of superbru or fall out of the bus, going for a Stormers win.
MacroBull wrote:
Your statement doesn’t make sense. Why should he start resting players after 4 rounds in which they had a week of? It makes more sense to keep them playing together for now as it will make the team only better.
They can start obvious rotations once the players actually need the rest. If other teams rotate players at this stage I can promise you it is either because of injuries or the incumbents are kak. What do you have to say about that “My Lady”?
MacroBull, you and Nortie seems desperate for Jake to do something different for reasons only known to yourselves. Would you enjoy it if the Sharks lose this weekend? Honest question!
Snoek wrote:
I wouldn’t, I’m picking them to win and have 4 Sharks in my fantasy team.
The only reason I have for wanting them to do well is when I pick them, so at least I’m honest, I don’t support them, but if I can benefit then I’m all for it, no other reason.
SHarks team:
This is interesting – 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Sâbura Sithole
JP played center before and also in Japan, think they might swop around a bit ingame
Very strong side, they need to make a statement against the Reds

Also going for upsets – Stormers win and Blues win
@ Gena_ZA:
Blues won’t be an upset, i also picked them. think the Blues will come out running this weekend.
An upset would be picking the Force, Rebels ,Reds and Stormers
Not many giving them any chance
nortierd wrote:
And add the Brumbies to that list
@ nortierd:
Thats why i am picking the Stormers they’ll be the best chance of an upset.
Scrumsaam wrote:
Yep, Stormers, Force and Reds given no chance
Stormers have won in Hamilton so should have an outside chance, Force is like a box of chocolates, never know what you gonna get, and the Reds don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of beating the best SA side in the midst of their golden era
BLOEMFONTEIN. â Die Cheetahs se uitdaging om vanjaar die Superrugby-reeks te wen, is byna net so groot soos diĂ© een om Johan Goosen se kontrak aan die einde van 2014 te verleng.
Sport verneem dié 21-jarige Springbok-losskakel is bo-aan die inkopielys van verskeie spanne wat glo die Bulle, Toulon en klubs in Japan insluit.
Die jagseisoen open amptelik eers 120 dae voor ân Suid-Afrikaanse rugbyspeler se kontrak by sy unie verstryk.
Die meerderheid plaaslike spelers se kontrakte verstryk op 31 Oktober wat beteken dat daar eers van 1 Julie amptelik met ân speler soos Goosen onderhandel mag word.
Dit gebeur wel dat unies vooraf net voelers na ân speler uitsteek, wat glo die geval met die Bulle en Goosen was.
Sy agent, Anthony Johnson, het gister die Bulle se belangstelling in Goosen aan Sport bevestig.
âOns ondersoek alle opsies vir Johan. Die Bulle het nog altyd in Johan belanggestel, maar hulle sal moet wag tot die oordragtydperk vir plaaslike spanne,â het hy gesĂȘ.
âDie Cheetahs het aangedui dat hulle Goosen wil behou. Ons neem nou geen besluite nie en dis belangrik dat Johan nou speeltyd kry. Ons sal sy vordering die volgende twee maande dophou en dan ân besluit neem.â
Die Franse klubspan Toulon, vir wie verskeie Bokke soos Juan Smith, Bryan Habana en Bakkies Botha speel, soek ân opvolger vir Jonny Wilkinson en Goosen se naam word as ân sterk aanspraakmaker genoem.
Meer as een Japanse klubspan soek ook ân losskakel van wĂȘreldgehalte en kan die deur vir Goosen oopmaak om daar te gaan speel.
Die Cheetahs sal bewus wees van die belangstelling en uiteraard alles in die stryd werp om Goosen te behou.
AangesienâdieâCheetahsâsy werkgewer is, verhinder niks hulle om nou reeds amptelik met hom te onderhandel nie.
Goosen sukkel wel vanjaar met sy bestendigheid in die Super-reeks, maar hy het teen die Bulle gewys waarom hy wĂȘreldwyd as ân wedstrydwenner beskou word.
Op ân gegewe dag kan hy enige teenstander met sy skopskoen en aanvallende spel verniel.
Die groot uitdaging vir die Cheetahs sal wees om Goosen dieselfde salaris aan te bied wat hy by ân unie soos die Bulle sal verdien.
Die aanvallende spelpatroon van die Cheetahs, vrye teuels wat hy gegun word op die veld en goeie leefstyl in Bloemfontein is wel faktore wat Goosen se besluit kan beĂŻnvloed.
Hy is ook seker dat hy hier die eerstekeuse-losskakel is en genoeg speelkans sal kry om sy plek in die Bok-span te herwin.
* Verskeie ander unies is in dieselfde bootjie as die Cheetahs met sekere van hul top-spelers.
Sport verneem ook dat die Haaie-losvoorspelers Keegan Daniel en Jean Deysel glo nĂĄ die Super-reeks saam met die agtsteman Ryan Kankowski en vleuel JP Pietersen op pad is na Japan.
Fukken poachers!
@ Scrumsaam:
đ srumsaam, kom nou boet, beating the Chiefs in their own back yard?? of course it would be a huge upset, to be honest I would even think twice about the Sharks chances against the Chiefs down under.
To make matters worse you have quite a few injuries to key positions, like your TH.
@ Loosehead:
Loskoppietjie, maak nie saak wat ons doen of se nie boet, die swak Rand maak seker spelers sal oorsee gaan speel
