@ grootblousmile:
Seriously, a super11 with 4 teams from NZ and 4 SA and 3 Ozz.
@ Just For Kicks:
The main problem is not the laws, it’s that there is simply too much rugby. It’s not humanly possible to operate at peak all the time…
2 Nd half ON!
60@ grootblousmile:Yup, and I wonder if the white card has had an affect on the players, it’s almost as if they are standing off a bit, especially the Brussouw’s, Pococks, etc. There just doesn’t seem to be the attrition this year, and the intensity seems to have waned. Like someone said on a previous thread, the NH comps have looked markedly better than ours
@ The_Young_Turk:Agree on too much rugby, generally, but the players have had a good lay off, what with the WC, and its too early for fatigue yet. Maybe later in the year this would become an issue, but not now, surely?
@ Just For Kicks:
They know the comp is long and are saving themselves…
How did he fluff that? Must have been taking inspiration from Johan Goosens drop kick
Reds will have to score 29 points in 35 mins to reach my score on superbru.
Good attacking by the Reds… and some continiuity…
@ The_Young_Turk:Nah, don’t believe that, especially with the international break in the middle – too risky
If it carries on like this, I think, scrums, as we know them, will become a thing of the past in the next 5 years
At the moment, I’m starting to think, stuff my bru, it’s already in it’s moo, and let the Rubbles pull off a win and keep the Reds below the top saffer teams.
Penalty Force, they kick out 10m from the Reds line
Come on Rubbles!! Moo the inbREDS!
That wheeled scrum is a case in point. How much influence did the Rebels have on that wheel? But the Reds must get pinged. Remember the Aussies are a very wily bunch
@ grootblousmile:
Howzit Webmonster and RT’s!
Just popped in for lunch, will be back for Bulls game only, have to chase the mighty $ down in the saltmines today.
GBS, so the two of us are still struggling and stumbling on the log while Tapper is rolling on unhindered.
We will have to shake off that ‘monkey on our back’ real soon, or he is going make us eat his dust all comp long,,,,,,,,,
Talk later.
72 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, I think so too… the Saders and Blues have already copped losses too…
if the Rebels win, it won’t influence the log, no one has chosen the Rebels to win
…….soooo go Rebels
76 @ Pietman:
Jy is nou soos ‘n swartman in die pashowe destyds…. koppie in die beskuldigdebank, skuldig, uit die bank… in die selle…
Woeps, waps…. klaar!
Hehehehe
Was ‘n anderse tyd daai!
Looked in touch to me
Try Reds??
TMO
Kurtly has been very good….
Close one…
Should be no try… and is
Reds read that line out like a book!
Try time, at last Reds get one
Reds attacking very hard now.. matter of time?
Tryyyyyy Reds… with difficulty.
Good defence
Dom Shipperley was the scorer
@ grootblousmile:
