I have to say right off that I am no Lions fan, but what an amazing game and win for them - WELL DONE!!!
And the good news I think for SA rugby in general is when we look at the try scorers - new names and new faces... Plus of course Warren Whiteley who had a powerful game as we have come to...
I think it was quite an interesting first round and I am looking forward to this weekend for round 2...
Jaguares did excellent I think and I thought they might be one of the surprize packages this year... I am a staunch Bull supporter but my heart is even heavier about the rest of the season...
Four southern hemisphere teams into the semis as predicted... Way to go the south!!!
Brilliant play by Argentina - really impressive... yes Ireland had a lot of injuries and a suspension, but even so... Wales had even more and the Springboks I think were lucky to win... Though great try at...
Not at all - we all know what the sharks can do... And yes, the Lions did well last season - but there are one or 2 teams that really don't do much in AUS and in the case of South Africa I don't think the Kings should be there... I think they should rather bring back the play-offs to get the...
Good to know - I really enjoyed this competition and reading everybody's view...
I was wondering (out of curiousity as I am one) how many of the people who entered are women... LOL
I think that the Super Rugby concept for 2016 is going to be weird and strange to get sued to...
It is getting too big and it is losing the initial allure of strength vs strength...
I will miss the clashes between the South Africa teams, the Aus teams and the NZ teams on the original return...
I think the teams announced are quite good ones - but re the Springboks... All in all a good selection but I would have liked a few changes on the bench (most noticeably Page rather than Pienaar) - I think that we will win this rather convincingly... One change I think would have strengthened...
I think Argentina will have Ireland's number - but it might be the game to watch in the quarters as both teams are going to give a 150%
While many of the games in the quarters are going to be based on kicks and rucks and mauls, Argentina like France, enjoys running the ball - they have flair...
Any thoughts on the Boks team to face Wales?
All in all I think good selection and a good bench - I think that we will win this rather convincingly... I hope so anyway... :whistle: One change I think would have strengthened the team, and I don't know whether I am alone in thinking this (I...
You are of course right Ho3 - will be a very weird Super Rugby season next year... I will miss the games with us playing the AUS and NZ teams on the same basis as the past... I really think it is becoming too big...
But yes, although Japan is northern hemisphere it does make more sense to have...
Now that the group stages are over and we know who are in the quarters, I would like to say something about the two "hemisphere" competitions...
During the group stages a lot has been said about the fact that Georgia specifically, but also Romania, should be included in the 6-nations as they...
I had a quick look at the original predictions - mainly to check what my own chances are with the weekend's game...
Then I saw a very interesting selection by DarthCat... And I don't think anybody will score more points over this weekend...
His teams - New Zealand (should win comfortably)...
