@ grootblousmile:
Die staat is beslis nie perfek nie maar ook noe so swak soos party mense wil voorgee nie,en ek skat dat ons cb record genoeg se,om daarby aan te sluit net dit,hoe lank het dit die bulle gevat om n faktor in die super reeks te word n hele paar jaar,en hulle was ook n paar keer met die wooden spoon huis toe,kortom dit vat tyd en diepte en BAIE geld om suksesfol te word in super rugby

Hallo all Cheetahs supporters and minions!! GBS om jou te antwoord, dink ek ons probleme is as volg. All of a sudden word Coenie heavy geblaas, en teen die Sharks het die strafskoppe ons gery. Dink die Sharks sou steeds gewen het maar totkop Joubert het die Cheetahs gelooi!! Die beserings spook het vroeg kom kuier, maar ons het briljant teen die Bulle gespeel, en wel, ek was by a feeslike plaas troue op Clarens, so ek kan nie kommentaar lewer op die Stormers game nie.

Naas was swak takties teen die Sharks, en dis tyd dat Sias bietjie exposure kry, ons kan laat ouens soos Magic Ebersohn, Benjamin, Burger, Snyman staan en koud kry nie.

Die beserings gaan nog lelik letsels laat, maar ek dink die Cheetahs se scrumwerk, en taktiese skopwerk kos hulle op die stadium.

Hulle sal weer reg scrum!! Fisies het hulle geen gelyke nie. Smallies is reg, die verdediging was puik sover, Alberts was ook ‘n slag terug geduik deur Strauss, en Magic, het tot dusver sy kant gebring.

Daar is genoeg jong reuse wat in die VC speel wat nog groot spore gaan trap.

Well, I’ve just made my SuperBru picks for this weekend’s Super Rugby games…

Last weekend I actually backed the Lions to beat the Blues and afterwards I promised myself not to back them again till they win.

This weekend they have a good chance to win and just to shaft my Bru they’ll probably play out of their skins.

The Cheetahs have made 5 changes from last week and that worries me! I’m a great believer in consistency in selection and although Sias Ebersohn shows promise for the future, he is terribly raw in Super Rugby whilst Heinrich Brussow is still not Super Rugby ready after his long lay-off and having played 1 and a bit Vodacom Cup games since his return is simply not enough… I hope he proves me wrong because we need Heinrich firing on all cylinders for the RWC.

Nonetheless, I’ve picked the Cheetahs to win by 5, firstly because I like them more and secondly as a protest vote against the Lions.

The Sharks should pummel the Rebels, and I’ve picked accordingly.

This might surprise you but I’ve gone for the shocker this week and picked the Highlanders to beat the Stormers. Why would I do it? The Highlanders are strong up front but more than that, they are also running well through each and every back. The Stormers on the other hand has shown that they defend well, but have been blunt on attack, so blunt you can drive all the way to the Cape on the sharp edge of the knives they present and not be worse for wear. The balance therefore in game approach and roundedness lies with the Landers.

This of course does not mean to say that I actually want the Landers to win, in fact I would never support an overseas squad against one from SA, my prediction is simply looking at the type and quality of rugby being played at present.

Knowing the Stormers they will probably have a pox game and manage to destroy even more of my SuperBru whilst they are able.

Tomorrow I pick the Saders to win over the Brumbies, and on Saturday I pick the Canes over the Chiefs and the Blues over the Force.

Now to go pick on Bru for the Six Nations….

Six Nations picks….

France by a healthy margin
Wales by 5 or less
