    @ Bullscot:
    Yeah, perhaps I was too harsh on him as I hear from that he is not actually a fly-half but a scrumhalf and is only playing there as Italy has no other fit flyhalf. So have to retract my words.

    Canes with 6 debutantes in the match, 3 off the bench. Both props are new – do you think they are giving us a chance? C’mon Stormers, this really should be yours for the taking. The only match that I’ve been confident for so far, but hey, I’ve got the rest of my Superugby predictions wrong this w/end, so who knows…..Nah, I’m confident.

  • 33

    Tim Bateman is the other one on Debut, lining up opposite Jean de Villiers – there’ll be a lesson there, I hope!

  • 34

    Italy has major problems with player depth. If they lose their first or second they have to resort to makeshift players.

  • 35

    33 @ Just For Kicks:
    Tim Bateman is highly rated in New Zealand.

    @ Just For Kicks:
    I picked Stormers to win by 9. Just have no confidence in the guys tho’ and have no idea how the new look team will go…

  • 37

    Ireland 20 / 10 Italy

  • 38

    The Canes are one of the NZ sides with the most disruptions since last season… Stormers should beat them… but then again the Stormers also leaked players like a sieve.

    Blistering day at Newlands, not a cloud in the sky, slight breeze – the boys are in for a bit of a work out today!

    31@ The_Young_Turk:
    Good on you Turk. Sounds like Scotlands Greig Laidlaw albeit it for a different reason, think he has played scrumhalf but with too much competition at Edinburgh form Mike Blair for that spot is now flyhalf.

    35@ grootblousmile: As is JdV around the world!

    Thanks Gbs and Snoek for the answer re Sadie, posted straight back but my internet not playing along here. Earlier in the week I said I would have preferred to see a 5-2 bench split as wasn’t sure how match fit two of our loose forwards would (Spies and Potgieter) but seems like coach got it right to have 3 backs on the bench

    36@ The_Young_Turk:Not too many do, but this had to be the easiest pick of the w/end. Mine was around the same score, if I remember – although, at the moment ‘Bru for me is like going through a messy divorce.

    @ grootblousmile:
    Goeienaand GBS.
    Kan jy glo, vir die eerste keer hier in die vreemde het ek nou my stelsel uiteindelik sover ingerig dat ek innie tv-kamer kan sit en blog!
    Dit was een moosa stryd met skottels en kabels en kek en herre om die makmoere hier te verduidelik hoe ek my goete wil he…..tot ek nou my eie kabel vanaf die plaaslike telkom laat installeer het met n wi-fi dish en wat nog.

    Nou sien ek party ouens soos Puma sukkel om in te kom op RT. Ek moet se, hier uit die verte het ek geen moeilikheid nie,die eerste keer gaan dit soms stadig om in te log maar vandaar af refresh ek net en als is ok.
    Net gedog ek sal jou se. Daar moet seker ander fout hulle kant wees.

    Lol, I saw you have the honourable last place in the Rugby talk pool Sad

  • 47

    As I say wireless is sorted, thats 2 outages they’ve had in 20 minutes, dark, hope they sort it out – almost as annoying as when GBS is playing with his site! LOL

    45@ The_Young_Turk:They’ve stitched my wrists, taken away all the pills, and told me I can’t hold a gun licence for at least 3 years!

    Pasop vir Corey Jane, Stormers…..hy is die gevaarman.

    44 @ Pietman:
    Dankie Pieta… ek sukkel ook nie.

    Ek het wel die afgelope 2 weke taamlik eksperimenteer met die site, met sekere goed.

    Kan sommige goed net behoorlik toets en probeer implimenteer wanneer die site besig is, anders kry ek nie data wat betroubaar is nie….
