I know you'll read this...

Can't believe you actually put weepee supporters on ignore. :)

Its only banter mate, the reason you get it is because you can't handle it.

Didn't you play sports at school, or compete with friends people at something?
Guys sledge each other and then have a beer afterwards, not everyone takes it personally.


Now try and give some back to us and have fun.
Afterall we are the guys who had Puke Watson as a captain, we have crusaders and NZ supporters, we went 10 years without a cup, we're the best boo'ers in the country.

And we have a frikking sense of humour.

And injury number 17/18, Reinach's tour ended :( Steyn also in doubt as he's been cited and the officer said it met red card threshold ....... have reviewed the incident at 78min mark and I can't even see wtf they're talking about. NZ justice so expect weeks and weeks for a ban.

Cape Town - A SANZAR judicial hearing has found Sharks centre Francois Steyn not guilty after being cited for alleged foul play during their Super Rugby match against the Chiefs on Saturday.

Steyn is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4 (h) A player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without use of the arms, or without grasping a player.

The incident occurred in the 78th minute when he made contact with Tim Nanai-Williams of the Chiefs at a breakdown during the match between the Chiefs and Sharks at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton.

Highlanders winning of course! :D

Since, you know, they have been remarkably successful in that endeavour this season.
 
The weekend is easy....

Rebels vs Chiefs
Highlanders vs Sharks (SuperXV and Chris above both see the Highlanders - I don't think an upset is on the cards but if any match can present the upset, it is this one)
Force vs Reds
Bulls vs Hurricanes

...in some parts but these are the posers:


Blues vs Stormers
Stormers have been lacklustre but they do know that they need to KILL the rest of their games. Can they do it? I hope so but I have my doubts. I have 12 hours to sort this out. I just don't know. Sport24 feels Stormers by 3 while SuperXV goes in the exact opposite direction. Blues have been up and down but altogether more up than down. I may just go with a draw the way I feel right now.

Southern Kings vs Waratahs
The Waratards suck! And they have sucked particularly hard this year. Kings, otoh, have showed up their many critics and included an impressive away draw against the Brumbies. At home, I think they can take the tards but both SuperXV and Sport24 disagree with me. I will most likely go with Kings by one or two but I can tell you one thing: this is my pick for the clash of the weekend!

Brumbies vs Crusaders
Brumbies are above average at the moment while Crusaders seem hellbent on self-destruction. My thinking, therefore, is home side advantage but we all know - you write of the Crusaders at your own peril.
 
The two really tough games for me was:

Blues vs Stormers. I went with the Stormers just because I'm a Stormers supporter. :D

Brumbies vs Crusaders. I've got a feeling that the Crusaders will really play well in this game. Still went with the Brumbies though but I wish I could go back and change my pick.

The Stormers make me so sad. :( I'm glad I can't actually watch the game.

Nothing to see here... Move along please

I am watching it and be it that this is almost the strongest side they can put on the field, they make too many errors, doesn't take the points on offer, and have a horrible kicking game overall :cry:
