Vodacom Super 14 newcomers Patrick Lambie and Wandile Mjekevu as well as rising Springbok Sevens stars Branco du Preez and Sampie Mastriet (pictured) were included in a strong SA Under-20 squad that was named on Thursday to take part in the IRB Junior World Championships in Argentina in June.

Something like… “Keep of the Grass, Butana Komphela plans to smoke it” is happening at Loftus….

The Bulls and Cheetahs could be forced to play their remaining home matches in the Vodacom Super 14 competition elsewhere than at Loftus Versfeld and Vodacom Park – and that could be a financial headache for the Bulls in particular who have to host three crowd-pulling matches against the Lions, Sharks and log-leaders Crusaders over the next three weekends.

The players we picked are listed below. Not a single Bulls player, second time this year. Surely we are the underdogs now, backs to the wall. Even the Lions have a player in there, whoow. What a fall from grace.

There are a number of anomalies in the Super 14 this year, things that some might call ironic, and others just plain stupid. Teams aren’t behaving the way they are supposed to, the Reds think they are championship contenders, the Bulls think they can play running rugby, and the Lions think they are a rugby team.

The Stormers will destroy the Reds. I cant wait to see how confident the Reds backs will attack the ferocious tackles of Schalk and his team.  Genia might make it past a few but Cooper will be tackled. The Reds will also be flat after their travels back from SA and the Bulls onslaught. Stormers by a lot.

The Sharks scraped home against a Lions team showing  more hunger and determination then they did in their other games prior to this weekend, A major concern was the way the sharks went well ahead and then went to sleep, not once but twice as the 2nd sleeping session nearly cost them the match.

The stadium was alive and well Saturday with thousands of Sharks supporters streaming into Coca Cola park.

Another great McLook(back) article.

When i saw this article i could not resist the temptation to put it up here. I know we are a long way off in deciding the finalists for the Super 14 title. But the Suer 14 game of the year in the South African context might just be the old North vs South rivalry on the 15th of May 2010.

Add to it a possible repeat in the playoffs.  Mouth watering prospects

We are slowly but surely heading to the business end of the Super 14 Competition, and by now we know for sure that Teams No 11 to No 14 on the Log are totally just making up the numbers and are out of the Super 14 running. We also know that only a miracle will see any of the teams in No 7 to No 10 making a semi. Realistically speaking 6 Teams are still in the running, the Bulls, Crusaders, Waratahs, Stormers, Reds and the Brumbies… with the miracle team possibly being the Blues.

Here’s how I see this weekend.
