*edit*

In fact, there's a very easy way to discredit the luck theory. I can create a Superbru pool and you can join. I will make my predictions based on the teams that are playing and where they are playing. You must pick by using a random number generator. Evens go for the home team and odds for the away team. Then use the random number generator set with a limit to pick the margin.

How's that for a challenge?[/QUOTE]

We are talking about 2 different things so please tell how easy it is to discredit the luck theory.

1)I am talking about a game where different factors plays a role the weather, the crowd thats watching the game, what the players ate the previous night and if it is agreeing with them, did they have a good night sleep is their any external factors (relationships, family fueds etc) that might have happend the day before or on the day of a game day, are the team happy campers or do they have problems with each other or even management, these are all factors that wil influence the outcome of a game.

2)What you are talking about is a prediction game, I too play superbru not meaning to brag but I also exceed expectations seeing that we are both players that does well and has a basic understanding of rugby what i would do for instance with superbru not just looking at the home side or who won the most cups but measure the two teams up in past encounters and what the outcome was also based on the previous weeks preformance and what the other teams preformance was if they played against the same team so having said that yes I love rugby sometimes more than my wife (her words ;) ) so for 5 days before game time i do intensive research on the teams to determine who will be victories.

The luck I mentioned is something that happend the day before or on the same day as game day something that I nor you can predict and want know before we made our selections on superbru (Point 1) even tough we made a sound desicion based on statestic wich team will be the best(point2) and exactly because of that reason my friend the predictions game was so unpredictable in 2013

Oh hell no!!

Is there a "Design the kukkest jersey" contest going on between the SA Franchises?

Looks like a farmer ran over the jerseys with his tractor.

As a Twitter friend just said.

Victory by optical illusion.

The Bulls' outfits are horrendous.

But I have to question why a rugby thread has devolved into a fashion discussion...?

Battling to get excited for Super 14!! Fcking loathe the new format!! Glorified Currie Cup basically!! Really upsets me!!

Loved the round robin pitting us against the best from OZ/NZ!! To watch the Rebels vs NSW or the Highlanders vs Canes just doesn't titillate!!

Sorry... I know you agree with me on this...

I also despise the new format, but I still love my rugby. I'm not nearly as excited about this season though, but I think the first game will change all of that...

Because there is nothing else to talk about as we patiently wait for the rugby to start.

Oh wait. There is something.

The Bulls have signed Jacques-Louis Potgieter. EISH!

Sharks the only team to use women in their pictures I see. Says a lot :D ;)

That the Sharks with John at the helm are all business now. And that we have the best girls. We invented the women flaunting their stuff.

Awesome...
