    Haha ditto… did you see my post on the odds for the last two games?

    Useless Canes cost me great odds on a 1-12pt win for Saders ($2.60)… got $3.0 for the Chiefs for 1-12pts… and punted a wee amount on the Brumbies as a roughie…

    Chadwick, Botes, Daniel making this pack pretty light…

    JPP and Whitehead looking good… although I don’t want to see him there for the Boks…

    When these players going to realise you don’t lead into a high ball comp with your face!

    Sharks turn down a fairly simply kick for posts only being 7-0 down and fluff it… :Rule 9:

    Viljoen, Lambie having mares!

    Viljoen definitely not living up to his rep…

    And again… Viljoen and co don’t kick… try to run from their own half and he over-throws the pass… this is not a well coached side… simply doing whatever they feel like…

    I thought you would be in bed, or
    have you cancelled your early rise?

    BRW does anybody know when they
    scrapped the law about straight
    feeds in the scrum?

    :Rule 9:

    Hehe… no 10am pre-wedding reception going on all day… blah blah…

    They stopped caring about them years ago… frustrating isn’t it?

    Sharkies should have kicked that earlier PK too rather than trying to be fancy…

    All this high-fiving and shrieking with joy every time their is a turnover this year from all the sides (bar Saders) is soooo painful… like a bunch of school-girls with a boy band in town!

    Pre-wedding? I thought receptions
    are post-wedding?

    Anyway nothing as boring as weddings
    IMO. Beats funerals.

    Sharks just never really looked
    up to it.

    yeah – last minute decision after I missed the Blues game. I had an accumulator with Reds/tahs/Saders/Chiefs and Bulls and one with STormers….

    Was not sure on the reds game so I covered my ass ;-)

    PS: the accumulator with the reds would have paid 10.25/1
