@Playa: That was one I did call – but then I also called the Poms
Did anyone get that Scotland-Tonga result right?
Those are the types of rabbits I need to pull out of a hat if I am to take this league.
Not a great weekend – but at least I’m back in the starting 15
Not too much options for redeeming ourselves this w/e unless Wales and england finally click?
@BOG: My money is better than yours. :cool:
@GreenBlooded: Unquestionably and I believe that the English team is in cahoots with some participants here. With the Boks leading 16-9, I needed them (Boks) to score in the corner to ensure an unconverted try and a point difference of 12 which I predicted. But what happened then? HM sent on replacements from the Sharks and the outcome is now history. So, not only the England team.
@ Greenblooded- I am not sure about being a legend. Maybe more to do with the legendary “green Stuff”.
@HORSEFLY NO.1:Like you say – I am a legend!
@beet: On behalf of the KZN Durban team – I would like to ask that Grasshopper be excommunicated. He is clearly a non-participant who is bringing down the team average.
@GreenBlooded:
moving 11 places up is reserved for legends and kings only so please share Sir Greenbloodes, how do you do it? :grin:
@BOG: Match fixing??? Hmmmm – you may have a point there – certainly the only explanation for that incredulous decision to go for a penaly goal with 3 minutes on the clock and 4 points behind. Eish!!
@BOG: Couple of tips for next year: a Try now counts 5 points, not 3, and the hooker now throws in at the lineouts. Hopefully this helps.
@BoishaaiPa: Well, as you always say, it’s a team game, so despite the driftwood, the WC still leads the way. PRP does seem very individualistic though, so have a chat to your tjom, and as for PaarlBok, well he doesn’t even speak to his teammates!
@Ploegskaar: Its my first and only season thus far, and in my humble opinion, making steady advances.As usual, it would seem that Monnas is trying to copy Grey. Does this “season” end next weekend and does Grasshopper know that he actually must make selections to advance? At least, he and Cyndi ensures that Im not at the bottom.
@Ploegskaar:
@Ploegskaar: The problem is that the Boishaai rep relied to much on his Celtic ancestry to help him, but got most calls on the Welsh, Scots and Irish wrong!
In an strange imitation of reality Paul Roos started at the top, only for Paarl Gym to end it at the top, Landbou went nowhere and remains stuck in the middle and Monnas and Grey continue their worst seasons in living memory. What boggles the mind though is the Boishaai rep’s position on the log….
I can guarantee that I had everything to do with the utterly logical decision by the Poms to go for poles in the 2nd last minute while 4 behind. Why would they not??!!??
As for substances .. phooey man, use/abuse … all a matter of opinion. I know people who abuse muesli
@beet: Looking at some of the results here, you need to investigate a possibility of match fixing or alternatively, abuse of substances by some of the brus.
I just want to put it out there that despite being all the way down in 14th place, I still hold my head up high and proudly say that at least I did not at any stage prior to or during making my picks for these first 3 rounds smoke any cannabis at all. I challenge all current top 10 competitors to match this statement while hooked up to a lie detector apparatus.
Kind regards Sour Grapes Beet
@GreenBlooded: Not over yet, but well done. Don’t know how you could pick Tonga. Ireland – didn’t watch it, must have been a hellova game.
Yeeeehhhaaaaaaa!! What a round. Yellow Cap and up by 11 places. Read it and weep fellas.
Two weeks in a row the Welsh &%*#(@ me over…now the Scots did it as well!…Celtic Pride me Ass!
@HORSEFLY NO.1: Pienaar is really past it – Shame I swore at him BIG time today. I’m not a Kirchner fan but in the past 2 games he has been pretty impressive.
I did enjoy seeing more team work and interactive play – also impressed that they remained pretty calm despite the ref.
And I still wish the boys would get some white skins or similar so that we don’t need to see their undies when the shorts get wet!!
Firstly, the negatives:
I still feel that the most exciting part of Bok games are the post match discussions
Pienaar is clearly not the answer!
Gurthro Steenkamp is very,very average at best!
Kruger continues to have no impact
Positives:
Frans Louw continues to play well
Kirchner(even though I really donnt like him) is solid at the back
And I thought Lambie played quite well in bad conditions today, also his goal kicking is terrific at the moment,something the Boks didn’t have earlier in the season…
We won but once again not impressive but I will give them a pass this time considering that the conditions actually needed that boring game…
Any clue which game Bob Skinstad was watching cos it didn’t seem to be today’s game???? Pienaar a solid game WTF
Nothing is going to help South Africa unless Nigel @!#%#%^ Ownes gets a little scrumming lesson at half time. My #!$% blind grandmother can call the poms scrumming in.
@beet- you charge from behind is coming a bit late- you are not a closet MHS boy by any chance.
Also I checked my predictions against those of the ” experts” and was very close.I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing.
@BoishaaiPa: Met jou kop? Jy is in groot moeilikheid!
@Klofie Pa: Ek het punte nodig!..en probeer n slag met my kop vote en nie met die hart nie!
boishaaipa, smaak my ons dink dieselfde die keer met die groot game wat opkom.
hoop ons is reg!!
@BoishaaiPa: Stop talking Mr nr 15 on the log! :grin:
@BOG: It can be lost in May though
@PaulRoosPa: Looked at it differently- the Currie Cup is not won in May!!
Seeing who is on top of the leaderboard is absolute proof that Superbru is a total shot in the dark!..I have witnessed PRP’s predictions this last year and this just proves that knowledge and superbru points have no correlation at all!
Time to haul in the temporary leaders of this race. Let the real contenders take over the show.
Checks the scoreboard! :cool:
