with this being a saffa site with so many locals ( and no im not talking about u redsneck u try hard) here, i was wondering who our neutral brus would be wanting to support???

everyone likes an underdog, and the brumbies have a similar albeit a more diluted travel scgedule compared to the sharks a year ago, so they can also garner the sympathy vote, but would the saffa peeps really want australia to have more super rugby titles then them???

so i ask u, who are u cheering for this weekend????

@blobok,

for me it didnt really matter, coslike last year,  i said the winner of the chiefs crusaders match was going to win the spXV, :oD

forgot about the jake white factor though, thats sure to get a lot of saffas rooting for the brumbies.

Chiefs are the safe bet , but I think many thought the Bulls at home would be a safe bet. Jake White is the only part of the Brumbies that may endear them to some. Not me. Go Chiefs, based on their style.

I'm not South African of course but I pick the Chiefs :) No surprise there.

 

Sasuke San: are you keeping track of these picks, if not I can do it.  So far it is 5 for the Chiefs and 2 for the Brumbies.

 My interest stopped being anything more than accedamic when the Stormers and the Cheetahs nose dived.  The Chiefs are the more complete team playing the more exciting game, so they would be the more deserving side for the win. Everyone loves the underdog though, so its a win win for the neutrals.  Chiefs by 17 at least.

Chiefs should have a tough game but never be in doubt of winning or in a situation where they could lose. If Brumbies were to win, they would need to do something really special and rarely ever seen.

 

They have had a tough 3 weeks. Its never easy playing two big saffa packs in a row and throw some travel to the republic in there and that makes for a bunch of soft, bruised boys. Cheetahs and Bulls have bothed pushed Brumbies to the edge and I doubt the Chiefs will lose to them at home after all the Brumbies travels.

 

This Super rugby tournament is proving to be a flop. We are seeing way too many "soft" grand finals. This conference system is bullshit. They should revert back to every team plays every team and top 4 contest the semi's and final. We are seeing teams have to travel too much to scrape through to the final and setting up very one sided finals due to this.

 

If this is to remain the case, the grand final and semi's should be seprated by 2 weeks to allow travel fatigue to ease and make for a better spectacle and more fair game. Last two years, the final has been very 1 sided and thats not how it should be. At the moment, I would rather see the Chiefs play any one of the NZL teams over the Brumbies as they are better rested and we would see a better game.

 

Who knows though. Maybe the Brumbies can lift once more or "save the best for last" but I doubt it.

Moz & a few others are sitting on the fence, lol

I can't argue with the logic (the team that plays the best rugby, etc.) but I have a simple table here and need to put an x for your name & the team you think will win. So far I have 10 picks.

The rest of you force those great ruby brains to make a choice, lol It's all in good fun!

Chiefs, home advantage and travelling from West to East is going to be too much for Brumbies.

Would be great for rugby to see the underdog Brumbies win but unfortunately i have to agree with Spoony. Chiefs should get a few 'flat' (forward) passes and knockons in the ruck unnotced by Craig Joubert............ so yes Chiefs by 20.
