Comments on: Carr’s season is done http://keo.co.za/2012/05/13/carr-crocked/ An independent look at South African rugby Tue, 21 May 2013 19:13:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: stormersboy(stormersboy) http://keo.co.za/2012/05/13/carr-crocked/#comment-2125564 stormersboy(stormersboy) Mon, 14 May 2012 07:00:03 +0000 http://www.keo.co.za/?p=100390#comment-2125564 @Sasuke(Sasuke)-138: Ja, I had a feeling after watching how close they ran the Saders at home.

I knew it was somewhat of a contrarian pick but thought they would pull it through. Got the MP as well.

The other 2 upsets (Canes and Rebels) were real upsets that very few people picked so it didn’t really affect me so the Reds game was my big one.

I’m at 4th position on the Rugby Talk log. Sweet.

Ahhhhh dont remind me man! Shocking weekend for me. Great pick on the Reds win. I will be back this weekend. The season is taking a change now for superbru and fantasy. Teams and players that use to good are not good anymore?

@Sasuke(Sasuke)-136: Have you seen this Armand guy?

I see your Superbru is having a Lions moment.

When the Vodacom cup is finish this weekend they should draft Rohan Kitshoff and Nick Fenton-Wells into the Stormers squad along with Don Armand who will be drafted this weekend vs the Waratahs.

Well done, keep up the good work, only about 45million (give or take a few million) of us!

As for individual ‘ire’, at least a step in the right direction and moving away from generalisations. Of course, keep in mind if you throw mud you will get some on you…

Sorry TR, had to run off quickly. What I meant is with the Super 15 players all over the place it will be hard to get the squad together to train. My understanding we only have 1 week to do it all. I checked so we have two home derbies and one team on a bye before the 1st test, so at least all players will be at home. One of them Bulls/Stormers so don’t think there will be a lot of “bok” talk in the week before…

But the Meyer is not PDivvie so I would expect he already know his top 30 and would have spoken to them re ‘getting ready’.

I just said to Fern if he talks rugby I will too… I also stated that others may still earn my ire, but I will level the muck individually, rather than generally :D

changing the world one Saffa at a time mate… :wink:

No overseas like playing in the S15 , not Europe.

That much hated #10 is getting ready to come back for the Reds as well…

If Reds win their next game…..could see them gathering momentum and pushing for a spot….. Genia is the key for them.
Bulls v Highlanders is a huge game yes……make or break for Highlanders@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-128:
I still don’t get the reliance on overseas players……..seems like a high price ( lack of preparation) to pay for their involvement.

I know but the reason given for him visiting the franchises…or more specific the ‘training camps’ was because of the limited time to prepared. Just very hard to get the boys together when they spread across 3 countries and two oceans.

Reds need to keep on winning to make it, if they get on a roll that is quite possible with their hardest away game against the Brumbies and if they build momentum then the Worrytahs will be no problem at the end.

Noted the Bulls next two games will have a massive impact on the standings, Winning is imperative for the Highlanders and a little less for the Chiefs…

Very interesting….The Bulls may have a say on which Nz Franchise gets in or fades away. Looking forward to Nz & Sa teams beating up on each other……May leave a hole for the Reds to slip into 6th spot.

No idea TR but he had those sessions with all the unions not so long ago, of course that included every man and his dog. The idea I got though is that he will pick a team who will get together a week before the first test and that is that. Maybe I missed some article to the contrary though…sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

In the other matches I thought the Cheetahs got closer than what I expected and the Sharks just blew the…err Force away!

Results opens up the log very wide now with anyone from 9 up still in the run for that elusive 6th spot!

Those players come together at some stage, then they have a cull down to 30, I expect………then Hansen will choose his 22 playing squad…. with the other hanging around or going who knows where.
When does HM pick his squad?

I assume NZ has the same short turnaround time as SA…

How is the truce holding up pops?
