Some interesting match ups this weekend

Certainties to win. Crusties, Sharks and Stormers? Bulls are in for a tough afternoon. Love to say Lions would win. Seemed to have a bit more bite inthe pack so who knows- here is hoping the blue tribe bites the dust.

Reds must klap the wee chiefies soundly lest we have that blowhard sitting bull waxing lyrical once more!!

The Mighty Stormers should win this one but sport can play tricks so you had better be up for it guys.

Beeno I reckon you are a little overconfident regarding the Stormers beating the Cheetahs. This Cheetahs team are playing decent rugby, and have been very unlucky this year, often landing up losing the close games they should've won. The Stormers have an edge, but this Cheetahs side are not gonna roll over and play dead. Don't be surprised if the Stormers get overwhelmed by the very effective Cheetahs attack. As for my Bulls, its wait and see, I reckon they are the better team on paper, but 'Tahs at home, especially after losing to the brumbies will be very determined!!

bluebok I do appreciate your point and key players are still out or have jus come back from injury so its not all ideal. Cheetahs are extremely unfortunate not to be in top six so its going to be a tough one. However I have to back the Mighty Stormers. 

Bulle can win against warts but they turn into the blue calves on tour or should I say pink calves!  

It will be interest to see Sadie and Venter at center. JJ is getting a break on the bench.  Your new loose head is a very adequate repalcement but Potgieter will be missed. This is already a smallish pack.

So Beenbal, what if the Stormers do not make it. Have you got your excuses ready?

Windpomp you appear to be counting your chickens a little early.  

No excuses needed windpomp I deal in reality only. 

Beeno I just reckon the Stormers are weak in the forwards at the moment. Bekker being back in the team will help, but I think the Stormers loosies (Due to injury) are going to be exposed. I agree regarding the JAKARANDA (I refuse to accept that they wear pink. LOL) coloured Bulls, Potgieter will be missed. 'Tahs don't have the best forwards in the competition,so I reckon the Bulls will have the firepower to edge that one...but they'll need to watch Palu.  

Mate if the Stormers lose then the ref was kak. the Stormers had some injuries, someone obviously cheated lol Beeny knows all the excuses under the sun. Crusaders supporters don't have to make excuses for their team.

Must admit though looking forward to Hurricanes vs Highlanders and Reds vs Chiefs. Anyones guess as to the outcomes. Hatu say.  Anyway Go the Cheetahs .

Yep Bluebok I am concerned about the absence of the world class Vermuelen and Burger. We need  to try and keep the wins going and hope tthey return in time for us to win the comp.

Oaks like ou black udder are extremely fanciful. They pretend injuries, bent refs and altitude  etc are of no effect. I much prefer a realistic approach. They cannot fathom the difference between an excuse and reality.

Black udder the facts are the Stormers thus far hav elost onceand injuries and a k8k ref were the cause. Please dont pretend the wee crusties could match the Stormers at full strength and a with  decent ref officiating. Bwahahahahahhahahahaha dream on black udder! You guys crook precisely because you know you cant win thriough legitimate means.
