Full time score: Hurricanes 28 - 25 Chiefs

Nice one... So Stormers hits top of the log IF they win their game tomorrow. what am I saying... why would they lose... I mean come on its the Stormers i am talking about...

 

[W.Salie]

So this is how I see the semi's after the payoff's

Stormers vs the Crusaders

Bulls or sharks vs the Chiefs

??? What about the Chiefs? They are GUARANTEED a semi. Cru/Bul playoff looks likely in quarters, all things being equal.

Brumbies? IF (big if) they qualify, they'll lose to Sharks. Reds too in fact. On paper (so far this w/e has screwed paper) the matches should be:

QF1: Bru / Red -vs- Sharks
QF2: Cru -vs- BULLS
(picks)
Sharks are busy peaking and should NOT have trouble taking either poor-performing OZ team apart, even in sheep country.
BULLS (as much as it pains me to say it) are on the decline. They have been since before the break. They really need to get their sht together to win a QF but I don't see it. This means, provided Stormers win today:

SF1: Stormers -vs - Sharks
SF2: Chiefs -vs- Crusaders

I don't see the Chiefs losing now - they'll take the Crusaders. Anyone who picks the cru for anything more than 4th is dreaming.
As for SF1, I'd be a fool to call it now.

Edit: added NOT above because I didn't type it originally, but it was my intention.

 

[Stickfigure]

Stormers well on their way to finishing top

 

[Stickfigure]

Typical Stormers sigh.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

softest 'spear' yellow I've ever seen .........

 

[cybershark]

softest 'spear' yellow I've ever seen .........

And the Cheetahs punches after the tackle?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Wow, punch - no action after that soft yellow ...... just wow. Ass Ref has a damn flag up for the incident and the Ref tells 5 to not react and be silly. Fsck me, pathetic.

 

[undesign]

Yes, every ref in the world wants to scnaai the Sharks...it's a conspiracy ;-)

 

[Creag]

Yes, every ref in the world wants to scnaai the Sharks...it's a conspiracy ;-)

Of course

 

[Creag]

Looks like Plum kicked some bum at half time

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

The puncher that got spoken too is now involved in more foul play and ref says again, keep calm ........ it's a lol and a half

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Geezuz Jannie can be a lazy fsck of a player, not a care in the world

 

[cybershark]

Geezuz Jannie can be a lazy fsck of a player, not a care in the world

That's what happens when you play out of position

 

[MickeyD]

phew....
