Will be nice if you guys join me here for this game…
I picked the Highlanders by 5 on SuperBru due to the unheavals in the Coaching saga and O’Connor leaving the Rebels. Things seem right out of kilter at the Rebels at the moment.
Game ON!
Rebels penalty.. kickable.
How bad has the freegin Highlanders been this year! With the number of key signings they got this year I expected much more from them!

Lemoenetyd
where has this been all season?
Afternoon everyone.
Well I sure as heck got this one wrong on bru.

Howzit mate,
That is for sure. This is what we expected from Landers all year. I went for the Rebs on bru here, damn should have gone with Lander. Although makes no difference in the RT pool I am sitting well done anyhow.

Hello Oompie!
You don’t have much to shout for this weekend, your favourite son, Lambie, is not playing… PLUS your Sharkies are playing a decidedly 2nd string Kings side.
So, I guess you’ll support the Bulls with us…
Hahahaha
2nd Half ON!
27 @ grootblousmile:
I went with Stormers by 3. Home ground advantage. Then only saw that Joe was not playing so they too don’t really have a kicker on the field. Should have gone with Bulls.
Just thought that Bulls had a much harder well physical game than Stormers last week and they might be a bit sore still from that derby game against the Sharks. So with that went with Stormers by a few. Also had Sharks got all their goals over they would have won, so was NOT that impressed with Bulls last week. Then again Stormers were not that great against the Kings. Just think home ground advantage, though Stormers needed Joe for this game.
It is ALWAYS difficult against the Stormers… but I take solice from the fact that they have gary van Aswegen at flyhalf… hehehe
