Jersey just unveiled. Classy look.

Pity it is red... Looks like they are bleeding and the season has not even started yet.

The science disagrees with you...

Shame... This is so sad... They need to dress in red to feel masculine...

The sadness in the science is that the red probably gave them one extra score per match. They're even worse than their results sheets state. Shame - poor Fanie.

We should keep this to ourselves... Don't what to hurt his feelings and drive him to drink

The Stormers squad for pre-season training camp in Hermanus.

Stormers squad: Ruan Botha, Manuel Carizza, Nizaam Carr, Demetri Catrakilis, Kurt Coleman, Damian de Allende, Juan de Jongh, Robert du Preez, Ryno Eksteen, Eben Etzebeth, Rynhardt Elstadt, Gerbrandt Grobler, Nic Groom, Huw Jones, Oliver Kebble, Steven Kitshoff, Jean Kleyn, Vincent Koch, Cheslin Kolbe, Siya Kolisi, Johnny Kotze, Dillyn Leyds, Wilco Louw, Frans Malherbe, Godlen Masimla, Bongi Mbonambi, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Siyabonga Ntubeni, Neil Rautenbach, Michael Rhodes, Louis Schreuder, Jaco Taute, Jurie van Vuuren, Frans van Wyk, Kobus van Wyk, Alistair Vermaak, Duane Vermeulen, EW Viljoen, Michael Willemse.

Players like Vermeulen and Etzebeth need to be wrapped in cotton wool as they're pivotal to our RWC ambitions later this year, but I can't see it happening. Still, a good looking squad. Just a pity there's no Senatla (who's away on 7's duties).

Done.

I'm getting quite excited for this year's SR. Too long with no rugby.

Just hope long injuries can be kept to a minimum. Never nice to have guys miss the RWC.

 

[GreGorGy]

I wonder if the coordinator of the pool will muscle old RPM for some prizes...

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Are we just going to do the predictor pool, or fantasy lite and fantasy, as well?

I've never done those, personally. Could be interesting.

Difference is explained here:

Subscribes and I'm keen for all superbru pools.

I will try.

I tried the fantasy thing once but didn't like it. Too much work to be honest.

You are however welcome to start one. I know it is quite popular with others.

 

[Solitude]

There's a lite Fantasy version this year too that's a lot less management. I created the following MyGaming pools:

6 Nations Predictor
Super Rugby Predictor
Super Rugby Fantasy Lite
Super Rugby Fantasy.

Will post the details here tonight if anyone from MyBroadband is interested.

Ja - do it. I already accepted the PRedictor invite from you (thanks) and I am willing to give the Lite a bash to see how well it goes.

Here's the details for the MyGaming pools:

Six Nations Predictor
http://www.superbru.com/sixnations/pool.php?p=11324567
Pool name: MyGaming
Pool code: drugmalt

Super Rugby Predictor
http://www.superbru.com/superrugby/pool.php?p=11324570
Pool name: MyGaming
Pool code: biastame

Super Rugby Fantasy Lite
http://www.superbru.com/superrugbyfantasylite/pool.php?p=11324572
Pool name: MyGaming
Pool code: namejump

Super Rugby Fantasy
http://www.superbru.com/superrugbyfantasy/pool.php?p=11324573
Pool name: MyGaming
Pool code: bogsalum

Join now and make your parents proud. There are no prizes ... yet. Unfortunately I tried to organise prizes in previous years but the people in charge of MyGaming have never been keen on it. Maybe this year will be different.

Also, if you haven't done so yet, join the MyGaming Superbru club:
http://www.superbru.com/club/mygaming
It's to keep track of how much better everyone else are than you. Everyone in the club get invitations to all future pools.

Does anyone know if the Saracens vs Bulls game on 31 January would be broadcast?
