@DAN_MAN(DAN_MAN)-1: because JC was sucking the other team sheet from his bum…
14 Mar 2012, 13:06 pm
Is there anyone from last weeks Blues team that is not playing this weekend.
14 Mar 2012, 13:10 pm
@Treehugger(Treehugger)-4:
Boric and Ranger are out
14 Mar 2012, 13:12 pm
@Treehugger(Treehugger)-4:
Yes.
Rene Ranger has been banned for 2 weeks. Replacement in the 22 is Ben Lam coming onto the bench.
Anthony Boric is injured. Filo Paulo his replacement in the starting-XV with Peter Saili coming onto the bench.
14 Mar 2012, 13:48 pm
Thanks guys, with Ranger out Stormers should win with ease. If he was in I would have given it 50/50.

Strong team, sensible selections. If the Sharks play to their strengths they will take this one.

11.b.basson
12.w.olivier
13.j.sadie
14.f.hougaard

16.w.wepener
17?
18.flip
19.spies
20.m.steyn
21.f.venter
22.jj engelbracht
– cj is in ahead of flip bcos of his mobility
-my loosefowards are based on getting quicker to the breakdown i.e j.potgeiter for me is more hungrier for the than stegman
stegman is there to grind the opposition
adongo is mobile,strong and is a good counter for radike samu’s pace.
-vermaak is there to slow down the reds genia
-fouche is more of an attacking option to ignite my centres hence wo&sadie are there
-my wings are based on pace and fh to combat ioane from running rings on the backline
-zane is there just bcos otherwise i’d have jurgen visser ahead of him.

@Treehugger(Treehugger)-7: With no Kaino, Toeava, Boric, Ranger, or Woodcock, and Anscombe unlikely to be as lucky as he was last week, not to mention that typical two week cycle the Blues are known for, I can’t see them backing up again. It’s the Stormers’ game to lose

@lazarus(lazarus)-9:
lol

Only a fool would select CJ Stander at lock – what planet are you on? That is the most pathetic selection I have seen in years. CJ is all of 10cm too short for lock and only weighs about 105kg’s – what a stupid selection. Besides Flip v/d Merwe is a quality Bok lock so why on earth would you want to replace him with a small looseforward – joke of the season

@lazarus(lazarus)-9: Hhahahhahhah….

@lazarus(lazarus)-9: Where do you buy the stuff you’re smoking?? Definitely caused some extensive brain damage.

B;ues at the Sormers: The Stormers will find Super Rugby is difficult without Jonker, but the current Blues aren’t exactly a world beaters, it’s just that the Bulls are a poor team
Too close to call, the Blues by 3
Reds at the Sharks: Albert is not match fit and Deysel hasn’t played for a while, the Reds will run riots at Kings Park
Reds by 6 to 9
Cheetahs at the Rebels: Drotsky plans to win Super Rugby matches with Johnson and Raubenheimer, and good for him!
Rebels by 12
Brumbies at the Chiefs: JW seldom managed to win away from home
Chiefs by 12 plus
Highlanders at the Canes: too close to call
15 Mar 2012, 10:39 am
@lazarus(lazarus)-9:
who is Adongo
15 Mar 2012, 11:14 am
9. Hahaha, you have no idea what you are talking about right?
Have your say
