What a weekend of upsets, and not only did it turn the Super Rugby log upside down, but so too the Rat Race’s!
It was a weekend of amazing upsets in Super Rugby and it reflects in our Rat Race log where there was a lot of movement on the log.
The Bulls log sees a new leader, the Sharks log is still as tight as ever and in the Stormers and Lions logs, there has been a lot of movement with players seemingly out of it a week ago, now back in contention.
Ollie, JT, Watte and Treehugger capatilised this weekend where they still scored 10 (Ollie 11) for the Round which given some results, is actually quite amazing. With the majority scoring between 8 and 4, you will find a lot of movement below the leaders in each log.
It again seemed that some players did not make their picks in time, or did not save it, please ensure that you make your picks on time, and that you save the picks by clicking at the bottom on the ‘Save Predictions’ button

Here you go folks, I am high on drugs at the moment thanks to flu, so I hope I added up correctly!
June 7th, 2011 at 11:02 am
See JT is getting a nice lead going there. I for one will not be fooled by this log. More things have happened in the past to veer my thoughts away from those glasses….for now.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Reply to Morné @ 10:55 am:
Must be some strong drugs and helluva mistake, I could have sworn I was waaaaaaay ahead for those Stormers shades!!
Good going JT, but watch your back…I’m coming to get’cha!
June 7th, 2011 at 11:40 am
Reply to namboer_STORMERS! @ 11:13 am:
Watch your own back as well, I just jumped on it. I believe we are tie 3rd place overall. I’m gunning for the Bok shades as well.
June 7th, 2011 at 11:50 am
Geez some of the leagues are really closing up
Sharks, Lions and Stormers looks like a groot fight brewing!
June 7th, 2011 at 11:55 am
Reply to Ollie_ Shark Attack @ 11:40 am:
Keeping my eyes on those Stormers Oakleys and didn’t even bother about the Boks ones…though they were for the Twitter thing and overall log is for bragging rights only!
Damn, never even paid real attention to that!!!
Is there someplace I can see the Oakley conference log, can’t seem to find it?
June 7th, 2011 at 11:57 am
Reply to Ollie_ Shark Attack @ 11:40 am: Reply to namboer_STORMERS! @ 11:55 am:
Nope, still got a pair of Springbok Oakleys to give away too!
June 7th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Reply to DavidS the gloomy Lion @ 11:50 am:
Even the bulls league allthough only between two bloggers, anything can still happen.
June 7th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Reply to Morné @ 11:57 am:
Is that for the overall winner?
June 7th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Reply to Morné @ 11:57 am:
A pair? 1st and 2nd on overall log?
June 7th, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Or pair as in 1 set?
June 7th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
For clarity, the Bok Oakleys will be given away following the Round Robin matches (there are two rounds still left).
It is for the play-offs alone, so no matter how you do here, you can still win the Bok Oakleys in the final 3 weeks of the Super Rugby when the play-offs take place.
There will be 5 matches only, so I predict one hell of a dog-fight for that!
Overall winner for the finals matches wins the Bok Oakleys.
June 7th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
Reply to Ollie_ Shark Attack @ 12:01 pm:
One pair only.
With the current conference you are divided into seperate logs according to the team you support, so following that (Round Robin matches completed, two rounds left, this week and next) we announce the winner of the franchise winners where you will win a Stormers, Sharks, Lions, Cheetahs or Bulls pair of Oakleys.
Then it all starts from scratch again, everyone on zero points for the finals conference.
There is a total of 5 matches taking place over a 3 week period.
Week 1 team 3 plays team 6 and team 4 plays team 5.
Week 2, you have the two semi-finals
Week 3, the final.
One log, one winner, and that guy or gal, will win the Bok Oakleys.

Reply to Morné @ 12:09 pm:
Eish – 2 rounds left, I though there was one.
Big dogfight coming up for the Bok glasses
June 7th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Reply to Ollie_ Shark Attack @ 12:16 pm:
Haha, this week and next, I see numbers 1 and 2 on each log is pretty tight…
June 7th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Reply to Morné @ 12:18 pm:
Yep, I just can’t seem to shake treehugger.
BTW, I have received the camera last week. It’s great and takes perfect pics. Thanks a million.
June 7th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Reply to Ollie_ Shark Attack @ 12:21 pm:
Good man! Enjoy it dude, and takes some pics for us with the cam when you next go watch a test, or of your club team!
June 7th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
Reply to Ollie_ Shark Attack @ 12:21 pm:
I can imagine how sexy Treehugger will look in
a pair of Oakleys.
Not sure about you.
So guess where my support lies?
June 7th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Ag moer. I am seriously falling behind now.
*SIGH…

Bwahahahahahahahah
Farms also have much more sun than Belgium so Ollie should actually just be the gentleman and concede to the lady…

Yeah, but in summer it only gets dark at 11pm here

In Superbru I am smoking too
Leading in two conferences
Into the Top 20 in RW
And #3 in an Aussie run one that pits ONE fan from each team against the rest…. its called F15TEEN
Geez I also went from last to third in line for the glasses…
Kietie
You can score like 13 points on a round!
And I’m just playing for fun… I’m not eligible…

Hey who said you’re allowed to use logic to justify your beating a woman!

It’s the only thing you can use to beat a woman in an argument because they don’t understand it
Now excuse me while I start running
June 7th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Female logic often reminds me of the
other misnomer, military intelligence.
June 8th, 2011 at 7:58 am
Military Intelligence is not a misnomer it is an oxymoron…
Like
Competent CIA
Efficient African Government
Nice Muslim Fundamentalist
Honest Israeli
etc etc etc

Surprisingly, this year is the first year I am not taking predictions as seriously, or rather, as analytically as I did in the past!
If it takes me 1 minute to make predictions its a lot.
Of course, reading just about every single news article on rugby from all over the world sort of gives you an advantage in making a call…
June 8th, 2011 at 11:38 am
Same here
Picking on gut feel… which is why I did crazy things like call a Chiefs win over the Blues and a Lions win over the Highlanders… just a feeling… If it takes a minute out of my Thursday afternoon it’s a lot!
