    This should be a cracking match too watch, and the next one between the Tah’s and Reds.

    If the Landers get a win here, which after watching the Blues run riot for a short spell yesterday isn’t impossible, it can play havoc on predictions and mind sets of future picks and looking at how things might pan out. Having Nonu out of the side did wonders for them last week.

    Still, picked Chiefs by 14, but judging by theresults of my picks, that means diddly squat

    Sounds strange to say one is looking forward to Aussie derbies, but you are right, so am I.
    There is something in the air with the Aussie sides this year, it’s almost as if Ewen has all their sides buying into the so called ” Australian way” of playing and the players are responding.

    @ nortierd:
    haha nee, hougie speel nie nou nie 😛

    Ok best scrumhalf and outside back in the world?

    Ben Smith is arguable, but I think even fdp in his prime would struggle to keep up with Aaron Smith.

    Reminds me of the time Thor decided to play the Sharks after hearing their supporters claim that the were the best side on the planet and in the universe as usual.
    So anyway, Thor travelled down to Kings Park, togged up and had a bit of a run, but decided that the best way to nail the Sharks was to to take out their captain, who was still Teichman.
    So he clocked him with a boot on the gonads and Teichman was stretchered off and Thor easily won. Afterwards he tells his dad how he stuffed up this so called team of champions and his pop says to him he must go and apologize, it’s not fair when a god thrashes mere humans. So Thor goes back a couple of days later and finds Teichman still sitting with an ice pack on his goons and proclaims ” I am Thor”
    Teichman looks up and says ” you’re thore, I’m so thore I couldn’t pith for two dayth”
