    Way too many TBCs in there to warrant any kind of discussion. Have them send for me when this improves.

    This is all very well but we really need to know the referees and assistant referees for all these matches.

    Example : If jonker or joubert is involved with the Bulls game you can throw the house on the result !

    Only fetcher type at 8 – interesting. Wonder if Daniel and Alberts will swap on defensive scrums

    @Original-Pierre(Original-Pierre)-4:
    Someone is borrowing my arguments ;)
    Ya, while the realisation that SA referees affect the results is being re-confirmed every round, the Keos seemed to totally disregard it!
    Makes one wondering why?

    @John Galt(John Galt)-6:
    The Sharks must feel secured, it’s their turn to enjoy the ‘preferential treatment’ with Lawrence this week, after receiving the short end last week at Newlands
    ;)

    @Hondo(Hondo)-10: For some reason I thought Lawrence gave the Sharks preferential treatment, but that all changed last year and he didn`t show any signs of letting up last weekend.

    He`s starting to worry me . . .

    @Bokhoring(Bokhoring)-7:
    Not sure.
    I wouldnt expect Alberts to have too big an impact though. He’s been on the sidelines for so long and he’s likely to be heavily marked as well.

    Expect to see Coetzee carrying the ball up strongly again.

    @John Galt(John Galt)-6:
    i think plum’s panicking. looks like he’s playing alberts while he’s iffy the way ac played bekker when he was iffy.

    @welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-14:
    Nah, if he was panicking, he would have played him last weekend against the Stormers when he really was touch and go.
    Alberts apparently is raring to go. This one extra week on the sidelines has made the difference.
    He’ll be a bit rusty but not iffy.

    Just noticed the Crusaders are playing Maitland at 15 and Dagg at 14?!

    What on earth have they done that for?
    Perhaps they’re a bit worried about Fruens weakness in defence at 13 so have put the better defender of Maitland and Dagg next to him.
