Thanks CC - Lions and Sharks updated.

A weird team for the Lions - maybe the Liosns backline will start functioning better without Jamtjies - nice to see Whiteley and Brink back.

Mike ... has Coetzee replaced Mahuza at 15?

Ok ... never mind .. I see he's replacing Skosan on the wing.

Highlanders and Blues updated

Working on the Waratahs and Rebels teams.   By the way without Folau the Waratahs is bound to lose against the Rebels.   

Waratahs and Rebels teams updated.

Brumbies updated

The only outstanding team is the Stormers.   It would be very interesting to see what they come up with.     I guess that Stander or Willemse may be at flyhalf and that Etzebeth, Du Toit and Schickerling would be back in the mix.  

If that is the case I think they will beat the Brumbies.  

Thanks Rooinek 

Stormers updated,   I hav e no faith in that team and think they will despite Du Toit will lose that game.   

I think that De Allende and Malherbe  have been given a rest and what is going on with Etzebeth and Schickerling?   Wiese is a hardworking and good player - Moerat is useless in capital letters. and that center pairing is a serious joke.      .
