Just to be clear - if previous years are anything to go by, I will be eying and eventually achieving that coveted 26th spot...

 

[The_Right_Honourable_Brit]

This is going to be a very competitive pool...

 

[Piesank]

Don't worry about me guys, last time I went against the mighty Free State Cheetahs they beat the crusaders at the Free State stadium so I vowed I'll never go against them again! So I'll fade away as they disappoint me again

Just remember when I die I want the Cheetahs to be my pallbearers - so that they can let me down one last time!

LOL.

Finally this weekend some SA teams in the mix.

Bulls vs Stormers is going to be great.

I also wonder if the Cheetahs can surprise the Sharks.

If the warm-up games are anything to go by, then The Sharks are the SA team to beat this season. Try-scoring machines; solid defence; great bench...

That is true, but we all know the real deal and warm ups are two different things.

That being said, the Sharks are my favourites to top the SA conference if they continue where they left off last year. If they can't the Stormers should take it for a third year in a row.

The refs aren't warmed up yet...

Lol

 

[DJ...]

The refs aren't warmed up yet...

This is why the didn't televise The Sharks' warm-up games. Because that's what happens when the refs don't fsck us!

 

[Piesank]

Well my pre season optimism is here and I think we can break our sharks duck we've been carrying for a while. .

Cheetahs must just stop kicking away possession then we should be in with a shout.

The fact that they are without Freddy and Keegan, two of the players that really were the strong links in last year's team is not in this weekend's game is a major plus for anyone facing the Sharks as they have been looking really geared for this year judging by their warm up games.

I will be supporting the Cheetahs...my second SA team after the Stormers!

Definitely the most exciting team of the SA conference. They could come 2nd or 3rd if only they work on their defence a bit more.

Is Goosen going to be playing this weekend?

 

[DJ...]

Sucks! I got the first game wrong and dropped to 20th (from 3rd, nogal). I then get the second game right and drop to 23rd!

This game is rigged! Who's the ref?

 

[Piesank]

I honestly don't know regarding Goosen, I know Brussow is only coming back after the Sharks game, we really need a flyhalf, Watts looked good against the Stormers, but was showed up against the Bulls, Smit not so much and Brummer is also not my cup of tea. I think Brummer might get the nod as he did well at Griquas and has some (limited) super experience at the Bulls.

Saw Brussow at a local pizza place last Tuesday and he was walking fine and everything. Looked in good shape as well - pizza not taken into account.

With and on song Goosen, the Cheetahs have a 10% better chance to win in every game.

So who's going to come out on top?

I also wonder if the Cheetahs can surprise the Sharks.

No.

Is Daniels playing or is he injured?

Don't hold your breath

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Think him and Whitehead are injured.

 

[Piesank]

Jap - those 50+ point hammerings of the Leopards and Pumas (unsure) came at a big cost.

 

[CHURCHILL]

Looks like Willem Alberts will be out for 4 weeks aswell, FFS season has not even started yet.
Although we do have some depth in Sharks, so we will manage and be just fine.

Just read that as well, Alberts a quality player.
