Frosty Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Interesting games coming up this weekend : Brumbies beat Hurricanes, in Wellington, earlier this year.'Canes had a weekend off - sometimes a team loses that momentum.Brumbies had a cracker last week - what are the chances of another this and again next week?Brumbies travelled to SA, then back in a week - what would that do?'Canes lost 2 (1 home, 1 away), while Brumbies lost 7 (4 away, 3 home). Highlanders beat the Waratahs at home earlier this year.'Tahs also had weekend off.Highlander's don't have to travel too far.Both lost 5 games, 2 home and 3 away Who to pick? Superbru is the only thing keeping me partially interested to the end of the season. Canes vs Tahs final, me thinks. But that weekend off is got me pondering the away teams causing an upset.
GLuvsMtb Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Here's what our 95 heroes are up to. What a diverse group of players! And so ended the amateur era where life after rugby was a big deal. http://www.sapeople.com/2015/06/30/1995-springbok-rugby-players-south-africa/

And so ended the amateur era where life after rugby was a big deal.http://www.sapeople.com/2015/06/30/1995-springbok-rugby-players-south-africa/that's a cool read - interesting how many of them are farming. I think they also forgot to mention that francois piennaar has also done a mega @#$ load of Lays adverts. oh and he started the varsity cup. Also see that christian stewart who played for canada at the world cup is also into auctions
Bianchisti Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Couldn't have been a better final. Chuffed for the Landers. Thoroughly deserved. Very impressive how these guys can stick to and still execute their game with such high stakes and obviously immense pressure and doing it so well on top of it. Compared to some SA teams that seem to just flop in playoff games. That's not a criticism bytheway. Just an observation.
scotty Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Cracker of a game, well deserved by Higlanders. At least the Lions can claim to be one team that beat them this season. Skubarra 1
'Dale Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Beautiful final Those Kiwis sure can play ruggers
SAGecko Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Hope I'm mis-understanding wikipedia here The fixture schedule is still to be confirmed, but each team will play at least one match against all the other teams in their conference. They will also play one round of fixtures against all the teams in the other conference in their group, as well as games against one of the two conferences in the opposite group. Meaning a Saffa team would play all the other saffa teams at least once (the 2 conferences in the African group) - and then only Aussie or NZ teams not both (games against one of the conferences in the Australasian group) Hands up to which you countries team you would prefer playing - Aussie or NZ teams? This system seems even more screwed than the current one....BTW Skubs. Why didn't you pick for the S15 final?

But we all knew that Meyer would be hauling out the geriatric XV for this world cup. And that front row - Sannie and Beast were beyond shite this year.
babse Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 they obviously didnt check the expiry date on that front row. Ruan pienaar will be given another opportunity to prove he isnt good enough! So much for a talented backline when the ball is stuck at No.9 Bleh! Wannabe 1
babse Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Burger drafted into the No.8 role for Saturday's clash with the wobblies Springboks squad: Willie le Roux, JP Pietersen, Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Bryan Habana, Handré Pollard, Ruan Pienaar (vice-captain), Schalk Burger, Marcell Coetzee, Francois Louw, Victor Matfield (captain), Eben Etzebeth, Jannie du Plessis, Bismarck du Plessis, Tendai Mtawarira Replacements: Adriaan Strauss, Heinke van der Merwe, Frans Malherbe, Lood de Jager, Oupa Mohoje, Cobus Reinach, Pat Lambie, Lwazi Mvovo *still have major problems with Jannie and Pienaar, the springboks weak links for sure!
'Dale Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Rugby Champs again GO, ARGENTINA!! Hope they get a few more scalps this year after last year's single win against Oz
MTBeer Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I like Schalk at 8. He has become a good linking loosie in his twilight years.Not just crash and bash anymore. Don't know so much about positions 1, 3, and 9. And Matfield aaaaaarrrrrgh. Please PS du Toit recover quickly.
scotty Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Rugby Champs again GO, ARGENTINA!! Hope they get a few more scalps this year after last year's single win against OzComparing that historic performance to the TDF one would almost assume Argentina were on something.
Skubarra Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 BTW Skubs. Why didn't you pick for the S15 final? I was out in the bush in Limpopo for 2 weeks with no signal - would have picked the Hurricanes anyway so no loss there
Meezo Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 dunno if you guys saw this, quite hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS2YbcJ4q3Y#t=107
