Ciao a tutti and …no frutti bigbluegrin! Think brumbies will do the business today, they just too good to mess it up at this point of their season at home nogal!
8@ Turkey – Cheers you old Frutti…
The Log is nicely stacked now…. should the Brumbies just win here, they and the Saders will be level pegging….
Now for some Condensed Milk!!
@bigbluegrin actually would’nt mind a brumbies win and then i’ll back the brumbies to take the crusaders next week. Rather face the brumbies than the saders in the semi.
12@ Turkey – I would normally agree… but consider this, the Saders now Travel all the way to Australia… if they get a semi then i’s ALL THE WAY back to SA…
That’s a hell of a lot of travelling…
You and your condensed milk Gbs..

Brumbies 14 / ZIPPPPPPP
@13 Saders remain class mate – the best team by far in super history. Prefer not to risk playing them no matter their travelling schedule. Brumbies will have to travel too and would like my stormpoppies to face them in semi at newlands and wreak the revenge of the mountain gods on their miserable stinking pony hides.
lol thanks rudi
brumbies prolly to win by much more then 15
if the stormers do manage to beat the sharks in durban today they will be more arrogant then ever
this could well play into the bulls hands for their match against the stormers next week
This super14 is heading for an awesome finish:
Saders vs Brumbies Tahs vs Canes and Stormers vs Bulls
Mamma Mia !!!!!!

TMO
