Super 14 : 2007

The S14 is now in the crunch, do or die stages, with many teams having to secure victories this coming week-end if they still want to remain in contention for one of the semi final spots. The hopes that we had, whilst in the first half of the competition, of 2 SA sides qualifying will dwindle severely unless the Sharks & Bulls/Lions regain their momentum and start winning.

This is also the section of the competition where individualism in the remainder of the Stormers & Cheetahs teams could become an issue, seeing that the teams will not qualify. Players may start to concentrate on their individual performances with an eye on selection with Tri-Nations as well as the World Cup in mind. These performances could range from putting own individual skills on display to operating under the radar, safeguarding themselves against injury, specially if they stand a good chance of selection. Either way these teams may not benefit.

SA franchises should have positioned themselves much better in this 2007 competition, specially against the Kiwis, due to the 22 not participating in the first round, these players taking at least a game or two to get going and having a serious affect. Once again, it shows what immense depth exsist in NZ rugby. If ever we had a chance in the S14, it was going to be this year, but now, who knows.

The next two rounds will be decisive, keeping us all in suspense. What a lovely game this is.
 
Loftus should be filled to the brim!

I'm not going to attend it, unfortunately. But I'm gonna watch it on TV. :)

I'm not a Bull supporter so only decided to go this week.
Got 4 tickets on the eastern side, on top. Section GG. :(

Will watch the Sharks on TV and be of to the rugby.

Rather be early than hit traffic around 2:30

The game is at 4, right?

We have reached the final stage of the round robin of the competition. It is win at all costs for the top 7 sides, as I see it. Two teams, the Crusaders and Blues have secured their positions in the top 4, with the remainder of the 5 sides still having to battle it out for the remainder of the 2 spots. Depending how hey succeed in last 3 games the home semis will fall into place.

SA's are hoping for 2 sides to go thru, however even they have their work cut out :

Sharks v : Chiefs (away) Lions (home) Stormers (away) min 8 points, max 12
Bulls v : Lions (away) Blues (home) Reds (home) min 12 points, max 14.

These are my predicted points for the above teams.
Although the Bulls have an easier finish, they are 7 points behind the Sharks

Lets hope the Sharks can secure a home semi final, the first one by an SA side in many years, if ever.
