Super Rugby 2014: Weekend Teams – Round 7 (Final Revision)

Published 27 March 2014 | By grootblousmile

It is Round 7 of Super Rugby 2014 this weekend! We have 6 games in Round 7, with 2 games on Friday and 4 games on Saturday.

The Lions, Toyota Cheetahs & Western Force have bye weekends.

In June / July 2014 the Antipodian teams will catch up in played games with the South African counterparts, when the South African sides sit out for 1 Round.

The Combined Log will therefore be skewed for the majority of the competition and one has to question why individual countries are allowed to start such a long competition ahead of it’s rivals. In 2013 the Australian sides started a week early, but at least they had the excuse that they needed an extra week in the middle of the year to prepare for the British & Irish Lions series, which they lost.

Hello, I am safely back from my trip to Rugby Talks Homeland!!

This weeks superBru’s picks submitted…… fingers crossed for more luck this week and a continuation of my top 5 placing in the superBru table!! 🙂

Enjoyed watching a bit of Stellenbosh University play Cape Town University on TV before I left, blimey some of your youth players are built like tanks too, no wonder so may players get injured!!

I bet the stores that sell the Muscle Bulk producing products do a roaring trade in those towns!!

37

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 1:56 pm

Netherlands now 84/3, hell, the Protea’s blow hot and cold – Do they deserve to win this tournament, when they play like this? At least they have got themselves back into the game, but, again, it is up to the bowlers to win it for the team.
38

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 2:00 pm

Tahir goes for 6, and traps Borren next ball – Ned 97/4 now

Raining fours
43

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 2:08 pm

Albie goes for 13 off that over – if it’s not one Morkel brother, it’s the other!
44

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 2:09 pm

32 off 48. They just have to see Steyn off, no need to do anything untoward. Should be plain sailing, even for the Netherlands!
45

Gumboots on 27 March 2014 at 2:11 pm

31 off 46

grootblousmile on 27 March 2014 at 2:11 pm

Holland teaching SA how to approach 20/20 cricket…

Ben on 27 March 2014 at 2:12 pm

Proteas het net 2 goeie boulers, Steyn en Tahir. Die res is swak en gaan nie hierdie game kan red nie.
50

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 2:12 pm

Steyn has decided to simply blow them away with the cannon!!! Thank heavens for Steyn!
51

Gumboots on 27 March 2014 at 2:12 pm

Steyn wicket… Poor guy trying to save us again…
52

grootblousmile on 27 March 2014 at 2:13 pm

Netherlands 116 / 5

30 needed off 43 balls
53

Ben on 27 March 2014 at 2:13 pm

Net nie Tsotsobe weer laat boul nie, anders is game in een over verby.
54

grootblousmile on 27 March 2014 at 2:13 pm

The Blomme need 3 quick wickets…
55

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 2:14 pm

Don’t give the ball to Morkel, please
56

Gumboots on 27 March 2014 at 2:14 pm

7 overs 30 runs – Steyn only has one over left…

Lets bring on Lonwabo to end things quickly…
57

Just For Kicks on 27 March 2014 at 2:15 pm

GREAAAAAAT Wicket. Good stuff, Tahir!
58

grootblousmile on 27 March 2014 at 2:15 pm
