Why didn’t the Stormers sign Todd Clever instead of Jebb? Clever have Super Rugby experience and was one of the standout players for the Lions.

@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-3: A few tough picks this week.
Blues over Crusaders?
16 May 2012, 07:55 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-4:
every bog dweller’s got that ‘one big game’ in them so yeah, i’m going with the blues to win. they ran them close in their first game this season 18-19 and beat them in the same fixture last season 24-22.
if read’s injured then i def think the blues will lift themselves against the cheatsaders.
16 May 2012, 08:03 am
Brumbies (will be a high scoring game)
Bulls (will be a bonus point win)
Crusaders (McCaw will be up to his usual cheating self lying on the offsides of the maul to slow down the ball)
Reds (by a cricket score)
The Sharks (bonus point)
Waratahs (close game)
Rebels (will be a boring Aussie game as usual)
16 May 2012, 11:05 am
@5
Ran them close
No. The ‘saders were flat that day. Blackadder spoke out about that. Next game v bulls, they started looking a bit better. Too much lateral running in the 1st half though

Brumbie the dark horse
@WP_(WP_)-8:
Sias Ebersohn ran out of lives? boy needs hardenup
16 May 2012, 13:27 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-6: Agreed apart from the Bulls v Highlanders game – the landers are up for this game and need it to stay in contention for the play offs – does anybody have the stats on how many times the Bulls have won at the House of Pain ?
16 May 2012, 13:29 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-6: And how can you pick the Brumbies over the Canes – brave man
16 May 2012, 13:49 pm
@stew(stew)-11: Well, I also picked the Brumbies for a win – Let’s hope Jake can rile up those youngsters! That is going to be a cracker of a game…
16 May 2012, 15:45 pm
As this competition nears the play-offs some teams will start to peak and some will start to taper off.
Expect many surprising results.
16 May 2012, 16:04 pm
@WilleBul(williebre)-12: Canes are going to show the Brumbies , jake or not , i cant see this side losing to an Aussie side at home.
17 May 2012, 08:33 am
@stew(stew)-14: Well, if you take consistency into account – the Brumbies have been far more consistent the whole year. I’m sure IF the Canes actually decide to show up, the Brumbies should go down – I guess that is why they call it “Predictions”. One can only hope for the best..

Everybody has been asking what the girls do between KeoTV vids. That’s what they do, they update the teams sheets. Nice Sharks team there. Fire them, and get someone that finds it strange to read Hennie Daniller next to the word Sharks.
17 May 2012, 17:24 pm
@ufo(ufo)-22:
Same,except for Blues,’Saders will come back strong after last week’s embarrasment,and Carter back at 10.
Have your say
