    Sharky,I take our team very seriously.:) And it upsets me that we have no insane backline 🙂

  • 32

    Puma on 28 April 2010 at 2:30 pm

    30 – Well will still go with the heart.

    Sharks by 3. If Ruan is injured then we will really struggle.

  • 33

    Puma on 28 April 2010 at 2:32 pm

    Hope we don’t travel on the last minute up to Pretoria either. Kicking at altitude is so different from sea level. Need some pratice there. Also I feel if we come a week before it is better not on the day. My feeling.

    Blouste on 28 April 2010 at 2:51 pm

    Sharks gonna cost you points on superbru Puma 😆

    Snoek on 28 April 2010 at 3:15 pm

    The Sharks have no pressure on Saturday. We will bash them hard upfront, and run freely at the back. We haven’t lost a forward battle against the Bulls in a long time, and it will be the same again this weekend. Even with Bakkies back.

    It’s the backline where the bulls have a clear advantage. Maybe it will rain, and then that advantage will be gone as well.

    All i know is that i’m not having sleepless nights about this game.

    Blouste, Puma – I’m well thanks. Just been so busy. No excuse though. I am following the rugby though.

    Hello Oirish.

    Almost summer in your part of the world?

  • 39

    Snoek on 28 April 2010 at 3:22 pm

    A good Saders side. But the Stormers should be to good for them.

    The bulls will have to face the Saders with sore bodies next week.

    Jean “V12” Deysel and Willem “The Bull Slayer” Alberts are going to run over MS and JLP the whole day.

    Snoek on 28 April 2010 at 3:30 pm

    Where’s the Bulls when you need one?

  • 43

    Puma on 28 April 2010 at 3:31 pm

    34 – Blouste, How many times have you said that and I got points from Sharks 😆

    Though this time think Bulls will win. Then NEVER count the Sharks out against the Bulls our games are always tight ones.

    Though we don’t have Frans Steyn this year and Stefan at outside centre is not working. Also we don’t have a good FH unless Ruan starts and Kockott goes to SH.

    WE have nothing to lose, Bulls have EVERYTHING to lose, we out of the running for a semi you guys are not and need to beat us for a home final 😀

    Puma on 28 April 2010 at 3:32 pm

    36 – Irish, howzit good to see you back here.

  • 45

    Snoek on 28 April 2010 at 3:34 pm

    All these Vodacom teams, no true identity anymore.

    Vodacom Bulls
    Vodacom Cheetahs
    Vodacom Stormers

    Eish, They can become one team to make place for the Kings.

    We will call them the “Vodacom Tjommies”

  • 46

    Puma on 28 April 2010 at 3:34 pm

    35 – Snoek, Agree we have no pressure on Saturday. Sharks are not playing for a semi or home semi or final. So who knows with that kinda freedom we may do it.

    Though saffa teams play for pride. Also for Bok selections so maybe we will play our guts out and could pull of a win. Hoping.

    Puma on 28 April 2010 at 3:35 pm

    Okay I am off. Out of here now.

    Cheers all maybe catch up later, or tomorrow.

    Tricky Dickie, Manie and Kevin keeping their cards close to the chest I see.

    Don’t want to let the Rotation System secrets out of the bag too early so that the mighty Force can plot our demise!

    grootblousmile on 28 April 2010 at 5:37 pm

    I’ve updated some teams above…. Bulls, Stormers, Cheetahs…

    Will do another couple of Articles just now, but first, I have to go to the shops for the usual indulgences…. Kameeltjies, Condensed Milk, Sweets, Flapjacks, cooldrinks, billies, cabanossi… and some more titbits to snack on…

    Flok, ek is honger!

    Pick me some mix up while you’re there.

    I’ve got a bottle of the Captain’s nectar, but really don’t feel like stopping for mix.

    Cheers.

  • 55

    grootblousmile on 29 April 2010 at 10:25 am

    54@ Puma – Nothing yet, but the Sharks should not be any different to the team who ran last week… with Mvovo in JP Pietersen’s place

    Wallabie. on 29 April 2010 at 3:10 pm

    Big games this weekend.

    Stormers vs Crusaders
    Reds vs Brumbies
    Bulls vs Sharks

    Oh my goodness it is going to be a great weekend. Bulls are sitting pretty they can afford to lose this wekend. Stormers cannot. Reds maybe can afford to lose due to the matches they have lined up.

    The toughest tip is stormers and Crusaders. I went Crusaders purely on that the stormers have had to travel further and they looked knackered on Friday. They tried to put Reds away on the first 20minutes and then hoped to sit on tha lead.
    I went Brumbies..they werent bad against the Tahs and the Reds are now tired after 2 big games after travelling.
    Bulls – they rested players last week. They will be too tough for the sharks.

  • 58

    Wallabie. on 29 April 2010 at 3:12 pm

    The Reds are going to have to rest players sometime…they cannot afford to do this this weekend.
    If they win against the Brumbies they will need to target the next 2 games to rest key players before the semis.

  • 59

    Puma on 29 April 2010 at 4:34 pm

    58 – Walla howzit, I went with Reds this week. Think I read that Brumbies have some injuries? Not too sure. Reds just look really good.

    You are right they will have to rest players at some time. Maybe against the Landers, need all their top players against the Canes I think.

    Yip, some really first class rugby coming up this weekend. Going to be awesome.
