Super Rugby 2017

My comment has nothing to do with who I support. I don't agree with your opinion that Kolisi is Springbok captain material. But with our current coach and selection policies anything is possible.

Who is available and better atm?

Ok, sorry bud. Let's take race out and choose a captain on merit for a change

He does not fit Bok style rugby atm

Nobody is bringing in race. I'm the first person that agrees any team must be selected on merit.

At least our new Bok captain was selected on merit.

Now that is the million dollar question, I have no idea.

Interesting how none of the SA teams have been scheduled to play before the June international window. I wonder how we got this right (or wrong)...

June 2nd Blues v Reds

June 3rd Crusaders v Highlanders

June 3rd Chiefs v Waratahs

June 3rd Brumbies v Rebels

June 3rd Force v Hurricanes

June 9th Hurricanes v Chiefs

I have lost my trust in the Sunwovles, though they played a good team last week which only succumbed in the closing 5 minutes they cycle through their large squad too much. Again, they cycled the squad to play the Cheetahs. Also, a strong team, better depth on the bench than last week, but they will be without Ed Quirk, again, and Willie Britz. They are starting with Warren-Vosayaco and do have Kin back though he is on the bench.

Lineouts will be an issue, but this will be a good enterprising (and trading) game to watch.

I will back the Sunwolves, their improvement must churn out another victory, and they are playing in Tokyo.

Mitch gave up the big job in the US to coach the Bulls??? Really?

Yeah, seems odd. I'd imagine coaching the US Eagles to the WC would have been his goal.

swinging arms but this ref dislikes the Chiefs it seems so play on .... imagine that was one of our players, would have been red and 32 weeks ban, lol

And there goes the Superbru grand slam point for 99% of us.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Ugh, Reds! Seriously...

 

[mbayshark]

No, did they loose? FFS

14 points behind with 5 minutes to go. They haven't lost yet, but it seems inevitable.
