  Possibly the Lions strongest side available… let’s see what they do against the Bulls B side!

  @ grootblousmile:
  Ross Cronje a VERY WEAK link. He’s no better than Vodacom Cup quality at best.

  Otherwise, as you say just about the best they can put out.

  Rest is pretty ordinary

  I recon the Lions might just win this weekend… certainly no motivation lacking, more experienced and rounded side and this will be their 3rd outing for the year already.

  I recon the Bulls youngsters, although there is a lot of potential, will not gel and just too many new combinations and it’s their first effort of the year, with a side whose players will hardly see starting spots in Super Rugby in 2013.

  I expect much from Arno Botha, Lionel Mapoe, Jan Serfontein and Jano Vermaak though, no excuses from them!

  Two important things this Friday am.

  1. The SA 7’s have taken 2, YES 2 klaps in Wellington this morning losing firstly to Samoa and then to CANADA. Time for a change in management?

  2. Just registered for the RWC 2105 newsletter so that I can start planning a tour of monumenal proportions to go and watch.

  Myself and a couple of mates have committed to going, and GBS has expressed interest in joining us.

  Any other RT bloggers interested in joining us are more than welcome.

  I’ll set up an e-mail address this weekend and (with the webmonster’s blessing) publish an thread with the details that bloggers can respond to and we’ll see how it develops from there.
