Stupid force cost me my GSP :mad:

Sad about Goosen, I hope Smith can fill his shoes, Sias vs Robbie is going to be epic!

I'll take 2 from 4 in Australasia but I want 3 from 4!

Grand Slam Point. You get 2 points every round (except for Round 1 and some other round) if you predict all the winners in the round correctly.

Round one was only two games (Aussies only), so probably not given as it was easier to get two right as opposed to six or seven. Me thinks.
 
I think this weekend (seeing as I can not really do worse) I will Select the winners based on the age of the captain multiplied by the weight of the open side flanker.

You might be onto something here, but in SA the 6 flank is the open side flanker and in Oz and NZ it is the 7 ;)

What's this GSP?

Something that has eluded me for years in Superbru - it's especially harder to get for a Cheetahs supporter that is why I hate the Force so much right now :D

Ah okay, thanks. Stupid douchebag Force, ruined my GSP then, too. :mad:
 
Made my picks early this week. Before I change my mind.

Cheetahs Bulls and Sharks to grind out wins. Stormers and Kings to get walloped. Okay only Kings but I think Brumbies will edge the Stormers.

Don't think so buddy. The Stormers would have analysed the Brumbies properly against the Sardines. I think they are ready and with a capacity crowd at Newlands i think we have an extra man. Stormers by 12. I just think the Brumbies gave their all against the Sharks.

I'm not one to underestimate Jake White.

Brumbies are the only unbeaten side for a reason.

Unfortunately going with the Brumbies.

Breaks my heart but that is just the way it is.

IMO the Brumbies will start off well the game and the Stormers will gradually get the upper hand towards halftime. 2nd half Stormers will dominate the game especially in the forwards sucking them in and securing the bonus try. Remember the Stormers started slowly and got better the more games they play. Its gonna be a cracker, but the Stormers always goes up a gear when the crowd get behind them.

Jake White is a genius though.

Ditto, although the Stormers usually come through when you least expect it. They haven't been close to convincing this season.

TBH, you're starting to convince me. I'll wait till I have had a few Human Rights Beers tomorrow to make the final call then.

I doubt the stormers will win as well, the first game on tour is usually the harder one with fatigue so the Brumbies showed they are fit and they should be acclimatised now in their second week. I can't see them taking the foot off gas.

Stormers have de Jongh back which means JdV, Appels and vd Heever won't see the ball so I don't know where you see that fourth try coming from.

The Stormers defense will keep them in it but once the Brumbies take the lead I doubt the Stormers will be able to chase.

Brumbies by 6 to 8

You're going to allow a few beers to make the "right" call? :eek:
