And so we get ready for another Super 14! Last year saw the Bulls take the trophy with the “grind a win out” game plan. I wonder what’s in store for us this year.
The team to watch in my opinion will be the Stormers. They are now lucky enough to have Jaque Fourie (played for the lions last year) and Bryan Habana (played for the bulls last year).
I am looking forward to seeing how these 2 will perform this Super 14. The Boks didn’t run the ball enough for us to see what they are capable of in the Tri Nations and end of year tour.
Exciting times, I have joined 2 fantasy leagues.
The guys from Sharksworld have their Fantasy league here
Then I also joined http://www.rugbyworldcupblog.com the Auzzie guys from G&G R have set up a pool there.
PDivvy massive is my team name.
Enjoy the Rugby!
G’Day PDivvy,
I fear that the Stormers are South Africa’s version of the Waratahs. Often the best team on paper but always seem to come across an awful lot of bad luck.
Fourie and Habana are great signings, provided they see enough ball. Luke Watson should prove to be quite a loss though, despite his popularity he was a pretty dependable player and a great pickup in the fantasy comps.
Good luck in the fantasy comp as well, I hope you score a respectable 2nd place after my Waraczars!
Agree that the Stormers tend to have a little less luck as do the Tahs.
Watson is will be missed, he was a good players, even if he was not going to win Mr Popularity 2009/2010.
Think that burger and the big boys will provide them enough ball to shine this season. Their trail games have gone great for them.
Just hope they can keep the momentum going.
All this being said I am a Lions supporter and all we have to look forward to is good ol Carlos Spencer playing for us. I wonder how he will perform. I am expecting he will start a little slow and pick his game up after some game time.
