OK, GBS is busy, so it gives me a chance to entertain you with MY version of what I believe will happen this weekend. My team isn’t playing, so I do not stand a chance of seeming over-confident or arrogant, so let’s look at what’s on in Super 14 Round 7.

The Sharks have made very few changes to the side which beat the Highlanders at the House of Pain last weekend, they show 2 forced changes due to injuries to Lock Johann Muller and Flanker Keegan Daniel. Flanker Botes comes into the starting lineup in place of Daniel whilst lock Hargreaves comes in for Muller. Continue reading

We all love our game of rugby with varying degrees of passion, from the Taliban like fundamentalism of the painted Bulls bone heads, to the plasma screen couch fans popping salted peanuts in their mouth at home or at bars around the world. Continue reading

For the last 18 months South Africans had to listen to boredom about the ‘boring rugby’ they play, but Super rugby statistics at the half-way stage of the competition suggests it is in fact the Antipodean teams that does most of the playing, WITHOUT the ball. Continue reading

The Highlanders may be a team that the Lions have targeted for a Super 14 victory, but the reality is that the New Zealanders will be looking at Friday’s match in Dunedin as an opportunity to pick up five log points.

As supporters we must often be reminded that our teams have weaknesses, some we recognise and others we will not readily accept although they are crystal clear.

The Sharks will probably have to do without the services of Johann Muller for their final tour match against the wellington Hurricanes.Although it has not been confirmed if he would be fit to play or not, One cannot seem him playing with what seems to be a broken finger.
