Hi,
We have 3 NEW SuperBru Pools for all to join!
- The RBS 6 Nations 2016 starts on 6 February 2016, so hurry up and do not delay to register for it!
- The Varsity Cup 2016 starts on 8 February 2016, register for it too, whilst the iron is hot!
- The Super Rugby 2016 starts on 26 February, we are well within time, but do not delay and register for it!
This year we will do it a bit differently and open our Pools up to all readers of Rugby-Talk.com, but we encourage you to register as a subsciber on Rugby-Talk.com anyway, as our banter and commenting about our Pools will mostly take place here on the website and not on the SuperBru banter boards! It is so easy to register and such fun to discuss rugby here.
Our SuperBru pools are all lively and taking part in them adds to the spice and rivalry here on Rugby-Talk.com.
To all our recent registered users who have not played SuperBru with us yet, kindly join up and become even deeper entrenched in our community here.
We will also put details of our OPEN POOLS with an abbreviated Leaderboard in the Righthand Sidebar of our website… so look out for them, they will have direct links to our Pools as well as for making your predictions.
Now get hopping, don’t delay your registrations and also do not delay picking for this weekend’s RBS 6 Nations games as well as for Varsity Cup which starts on Monday!
SuperBru’s system has queued a heap of Invitations, so if you do not receive an Invitation, kindly manually apply to the Pools!!
The Pool details are:
Pool Name: Rugby-Talk 6 Nations 2016
Pool Code: swadpips
Pool Name: Rugby-Talk Varsity Cup 2016
Pool Code: alassacs
Pool Name: Rugby-Talk Super Rugby 2016
Pool Code: eireswop
Regards,
Finally had a chance to do the SuperBru Pools!
And I have also upgraded them all to SUPER POOLS!
Will put seperate widgets for each of the 3 Pools in our Righthand Sidebar a bit later…
Come on, register like crazy!
Made my picks eish really don’t know with this year’s 6 Nations, may become clearer after a few rounds. Think may have gone the wrong way with Ireland/Wales pick.
CJ Stander starts tomorrow for Ireland against Wales, his first test for Ireland. He was included in the starting 15 due to Sean O’Brien being injured.
Ireland: Ireland: S Zebo; A Trimble, J Payne, R Henshaw, K Earls; J Sexton, C Murray; J McGrath, R Best (capt), N White; D Toner, M McCarthy; CJ Stander, T O’Donnell, J Heaslip.
Replacements: S Cronin, J Cronin, T Furlong, D Ryan, Ruddock, Marmion, I Madigan, D Kearney.
Just seen Marcell Coetzee will be joining Ulster next season, that is a big signing for them. He is only 24, still very young so it will be a big loss for Sharks, signed on a 3 year old deal apparently.
When Tahir’s tail is up he’ll get you wickets,a confidence bowler and Friday’s game gave him that huge boost he needed and now he’s continuing with that.England struggled against leg-spin bowling vs Pakistan in the UAE test series and why CSA selectors didn’t go for Tahir in that 1st test in Durban is mind-boggling cause he was in form and would’ve done some real damage I reckon.

How often have we heard that though? Then when Tahir gets a chance at the test team he gets clobbered.
Apart from Tahir our bowling has been terrible today. Unless england collapse we will be chasing a ton.
And KG is the man!
@MacroPolo
How you doing?First off great win for your Bulls over the Lions yesterday and well done cause you guys probably needed that coming down to Newlands soon.Didn’t watch the game but I followed it on twitter and read that Odendaal made a difference when he replaced Serfontein.Serfontein probably trying too hard to impress and it failed.
I say that about Tahir & Durbs,given what the selection had been since our drubbing in India,i.e. persisting with out-of-form-players in Duminy,Faf and playing players out of position i.e. Stiaan van Zyl as an opener,so they might aswell have gone with a leg-spinner slash pie-chucker in Durbs who throws the odd full toss,but could’ve troubled England.Luckily for us it came off on Friday and he took 3 valuable wickets,but it don’t happen that often as we know,and like I said when he’s tail is up or confidence is there he can deliver…
With Hales still knocking it around at will,we could be chasing 280 plus today.Far too easy for him at the minute to pick us off…and he’s in the 90’s now so a ton may be on the cards for him…
Eng 182 for 6 after 34 overs…
@ provincefan:
Hey pf… Not too much to be read in a warm up, i just noted the scrum performed well in the first half and that will be our main obstacle this season, lions made 13 changes by the end of the game and this was the “but” of their loss yesterday, not sure how many we made though.
Yep burger is a star, he replaced kriel didnt he?
Hales really needs to go big here, but england throwing away their wickets now, really poor performance today apart from Hales.
Bookmakers are taking lots of people for a ride at the cricket again.
@MacroPolo
Ja that’s the thing about warm-ups,can’t read too much into it.Ackermann probably trying out a few new combinations aswell with leaving players out…Marnitz for example playing in the Lions next game vs the Jaguares.Fleckie did the same thing leaving Schalk out completely and playing Elstadt at 6 and said he wanted to give some youngsters a go aswell…
Lions first choice scrums are monstrous and Akkers said in the build up that he wanted to try new things at set-pieces especially and maybe he got what he wanted from this game.
I rate Odenbaal higher that Serf though,just wonder if Nollis will bench Serfontein and start Odendaal for the Newlands game???
AB and Amla kicking on nicely,considering how we were 22 for 3 at one stage…keep it going I’d say…
