Because they did not want me to lose my margin point :D

eish :(

The blues cost me 6 times now.

I really thought Bryce and Steve had it sorted.

Yeah they have been the let down of the whole Super Rugby comp. I really thought at the start of this years comp. that they could possibly end as the top team on the NZ log.

Full Time ... Force 18 - 23 Waratahs

Woohoo, 2/2. Both with margins. :cool:
 
Force v Waratahs was quite a close game. Could have easily been a Force win. They got a scrum/penalty (?), after time was up, with a chance of going for a try, but coughed it up. Good game though.

I also asked the question, but in the end the Blues aren't really a threat this year and if Lambie missed, it could have been 7 against us ... and game lost. I was happy with their decision to settle with the win they had.

A lot of games this season could have gone either way in the last 5 mins.

Even the "easy" games are not easy to pick anymore :(
 
I can't see why people are backing the chiefs against the FS in Bloemfontein... it's like betting against NZ in the house of pain.

And I think the stormers have what it takes to win the Crusaders at home. They were no real threat to the Bulls in loftus. WP will kill them off front and then hit them at the back.

Appart from that I agree with the other predictions.

It's been an interesting tournament this year. I am certainly enjoying the unpredictability.

It will be a good game, but I opted to throw my prediction behind Cheetahs. Had to give loads of thought. At home, I like their prospects of taking this one. It's also about supporting the Saffer team :)
 
Another Saturday morning, another Kiwi try from a turnover that shouldn't be a turnover because he was tackler assist and there was no daylight ........

My problem is that the fkn crusaders especially do this all the time and get away with it. We have standards in rugby. Today, we are applying our favourite standard - the double...

Yep... the double! :p
 
That was shocking.

Maybe PDivvy was correct when he said.

Why don't we go to the nearest ballet shop, get some tutus and get a dancing shop going? (Then there will be) no eye-gouging, no tackling, no nothing and we will enjoy it!

Horrible 1st half from the Stormers. If I hadn't been watching Super 15 and you told me the Stormers were the only undefeated team in the comp so far I wouldn't believe you...

Way too much aimless kicking and impotent on attack!! Not enjoying this at all. Really need to up the intensity and focus in the 2nd half or risk sinking without a trace. Jekyll and Hyde nature of WP rugby...

As for the ref I'm sick of the discussion points in a game of rugby always revolving around the ref. There is something fundamentally flawed with the sport when week in week out this is consistently the talking point...

Well I've picked the Stormers to lose 3 times already.
I have no idea why they're winning.

You can make up 2 or 3 points a week easily.
It usually comes down to who makes the right picks in the final rounds.

Same here, this week I chose them for a win and now it looks like they are losing.
