The MyBroadband Super Rugby 2016 Competition

[Solitude]

Like the Stormers, the Bulls are men down. I do think that the Kings has a chance at home.

I can't see it happening... which means it probably will.

Table after week 7

 

[MickeyD]

After week 7 the ideal TEAM combination is:

Bulls - 203
Lions - 220
Brumbies - 223
Chiefs - 366
Total - 1012

The only player with this combo is Werner Harding.

ROUND 8 PICKS:

CRUSADERS to beat Jaguares by 20
HURRICANES to beat Rebels by 5
SUNWOLVES to beat Cheetahs by 10
BLUES to beat Sharks by 10
BRUMBIES to beat Waratahs by 10
REDS to beat Bulls by 5
STORMERS to beat Lions by 5

I have a prediction that the Sunwolves will turn their game around by round 8. In the case that Hammett pick his best team with players in the right positions in the week against the Cheetahs then a possible win is on the table.

The Rebels is pulling the dark horse card.

Sunwolves can't scrum, cheetahs is scrumming well, brave call. Danie Mienie is back from injure, so 1 more good scrumming prop on the bench.

Good stuff, Werner. Backing the Lions this season, so far, as has proven to be a good call. Not just as a Team pick for this compo, but also for SuperBru. They have had a really good season to date. For them, I hope they can keep up their success.

Sunwolves can't scrum, cheetahs is scrumming well, brave call. Danie Mienie is back from injure, so 1 more good scrumming prop on the bench.

Hammett is rotating his props in every game, he is possibly looking to establish his depth, individual roles and unit strength. The time is near to decide on a starting line-up and an adequate bench. I think his mind is made up with his backline. The Sunwolves did play an 2nd string-ish team against the Stormers, but the Stormers 8-pack would had rolled them in any given scenario. I must say, that Korean prop managed to scrum (or held) the Stormers rotation.

I can only hope that Hammett will pick his best team to play against the Cheetahs. There are still Sunwolves whom have to debut amongst the hookers, locks and loosies so we may see another rotation on his bench, with Tim Bond suspended it is likely to see lock rotations. They have an lekker Samoan lock in their squad which is yet to make his way to the game.
