The world's oldest, most famous and greatest domestic rugby competition kicks off in just over 3 hours time and I can't wait!


I know there are many so-called rugby fans (usually noobs) who slag off the CC and are always denigrating the quality of CC rugby compared to the S15, but I'm old enough to remember the dark years when the Currie Cup was all we had and I have great respect for this fantastic competition and the enormous contribution it's made to South Africa's rugby heritage.


I'm really hoping Carlos Spencer's Kings can put one over the limp-wristed Sissy Boys from Cape Town this evening . . . but my head says WP should be too strong so my Superbru prediction is the Nancy Boys by 11.


Whatever else it will be interesting to see if the Kings play the kind of expansive rugby that Carlos Spencer preached in his time with the Lions.


Come on Kings and then come on the Sharks tomorrow!

 Bonus point  points try and ou rooitwits prediction looking daft. Some sissy boys. Whipping the queens by 19 points. In case you want to argue the point rooitwit bear in mind the second string WP had three yellows.
This gentlemen is the queens team for the Super 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The queens captain Luke Watson has really slowed up. Unless they can find some payers they will be cannon fodder.

I was interested to see if Malherbe could be considered as a backup for Jannie du Plessis, but CJ nailed him in 2 scrums. So, the search for a quality tighthead continues.

 

Happy Etzebeth could get some much needed game time.

Malherbe is a quality tighthead but very rusty. Scrums appeared to go better as time went on.

I will be trying to restore "marital bliss" this weekend - spending time with the wife (or at least offering too, lol). She may be so shocked & even suspicious as there is a rugby free widow so to speak.

 Malherbe is not the answer. We would be better off with one of our older experienced props if Jannie is hurt. He remains the one irreplaceable Bok.

 Mozart is onto his nonsence again.   The absence of Jannie is not as bad as he gives him out to be and which "experienced" prop i the answer?   Jannie is Mozart's "national treasure"  = but then we know Mozart is totally clueless about player performances and that remains a fact.   
Mozart's fixation with "older players" is a joke - he tinks that players who is way past their best is the only consideration - the norm being so-called experience without any regard to present performances.   He is always on about Cilliers - yet when Malherbe is fit - Cilliers is the bench player for the Stormers.
But then bench players is strongly favoured by him - Morne Steyn and Gurthro Stenkamp are his top favourites in the relevant regard.

Well by the sounds of Blikkies' report....Malherbe was drilled by CJ an older player. Look this Malherbe thing is just a fantasy. I have never, and I repeat never, seen him dominate any loosehead. None, zero , nada.

Haqve you seen the match?  NO - so Blikkies' report is all that counts because it fits in with your normal stupidity.  
Let em give you a breakdown of what actually happened.    Cilliers got carded in the first half of the game - Malherbe came on and a scrum was formed about 8 meters from the try lne of the Kings.   The ball is throan in by the Kings scrummie - and for the first time in the game Wp got a tighthead - despite scrumming with only 7 players.   Instead of an attack by the Kings -  WP was able to kick a very good relieving kick.
At roundabout minute 53 Malherbe came back on  and at more aor less the same time Van der Linde came on from the bench.   The first scrum Malherbe wenbt back in the scrum - but it was clear when analyzing that Ban der Linde was scrumming inwards and not straight.   However,  he tried it a second time - same result.  Joubert then got suspicious and went to the othr side and the enxt scrum he penalized Van der Linde.  In fact he should have done it the first scrum.  After that no more funny scrumming and the few remaining scrums was strong enough from Malherbe's perspective. 
Incidentally Etzebeth came on roughly the same time - but did not show anything much  in the 27 minutes he was on the field of play.   Malherbe must have taken a dozen tackles against Etzebeth's 3 that I could count.
You have never seen anything in rugby which you do not want to see - that is the point.   If a tighthead comes on because of the carding of another prop - and with a 7 man scrum they took a scrum on opposition thrown in - dopes that mean nothing in your book?

 Just finished watching the Sharks Griquas game. Glad sharks won but Griquas did well with the 14 men and probably looked the better to me. Good to see the CC on again.
