    That’s some bad luck. It happened to me a few times during SR as well. Why I now sommer lock my selections so that I cannot change it.

    So, the weekend’s Rugby World Cup is done…

    No match tomorrow, but a match on Tuesday night, Tonga vs Namibia at 17:45 SA Time.

    Unfortunately I will not be available to do that Live Game Article, will be busy with a web design meeting in Midrand at the time!

    Tonight I have to update Logs and Results, both for the Currie Cup and Rugby World Cup and for our SuperBru Pool leaderboards too, because I will be out at sparrow fart in the morning to Mpumalanga!

    Watching all the Home Unions play this weekend, I think we can safely say that the WC will be going to a southern hemisphere country.

    Dis wat ek nou gedoen het, rondte 4 sommer gelock.

    Worry nie oor meeste van die pools nie, maar net oor een geld pool en het geval van 3 na 7, uit die geld, waar ek seker 2de of 1ste sou gewees het met n 2,5 en 1, 5 in plaas van net 2 punte

    Aus v NZ final?

    Wonder of Eddie hom sal speel volgende jaar?

    Klink of hy net uit toets rugby getree het?

    Team doctor quietly confident about Kriel, Jannie and DDA.

    Alberts to undergo a fitness test tomorrow. If he fails, he will be sent home.

    Surely, they’re not going to try and convince people that Alberts was fit when we arrived there. Meaning that we won’t be able to send over a replacement loosie.

    Nama on 27 September 2015 at 7:56 pm

    @ Just For Kicks:
    Yes. Selected for 4 RWC’s but only played about 2 full games, I think. All because of injury.

    Only way we will see NZ v SA is if we lose to Scotland and finish second in our pool.

    Smoke and mirrors. Always been the way in FIFA, F1, and SA rugby.

    Yep, and surely they won’t lie to the World Rugby like they do to us supporters will they?

    Is Marcel still injured? Then that leaves only Brussouw that was part of the build up, and I can’t see them bringing him in

    Hey GBS, cant we get a Superbru Fantasy league going?

    Fun stuff 🙂

    @ MacroPolo:
    Yes, it’s fun.

    But with a round that stretches over 5 days, as is the case in the RWC, it is very difficult to select a team because not all the teams are available by the time of the deadline before a round starts.

    I had Folau, Moore, Pocock and Sexton in my team but not one of them played. Very frustrating.

    @ Nama:
    I never thought Ireland would risk Sexton for the Romanian game,

    you really have to plan ahead! Luckily I picked Sanchez.
