Didn't picture you as a rugby player, let alone a lock .... I'll have to show you more respect...()

I wasnt i was a lock only time i touched the ball was in the lineout (),had fun when i used to drop down to the colts though being 6" 6` and 16 stone at 15 was handy..

Played until i discovered drink

I think the Sharks +13,5 is a good bet to add to your multi's. They will come on from last week and will again focus on their defence that won them the game against the Bulls. I still think the Bulls would have had a better chance had they won that one, speaking like a true Bulls supporter. Surely the Sharks learned from their beating by the Crusaders on their previous encounter where that match came of the back of a trip back from New Zealand via Australia and South Africa to England.

Overall my money will be on the Stormers to beat the Reds in the final, as it is the Reds first final and hopefully inexperience can count against them, not taking the Blues out of the equation, think they can roll the Stormers.

The maul is advantageous to the defensive team as they have a chance to keep the maul up and kill the ball resulting in turnover ball/scrum. This year's scrum improved from last year's eliminating the many resets and time wasting we saw in 2010.

oh shit and here I was having a go at you. If you are in the Bakkies mould then I will be calling you boss from now on

7 different hcps to choose from on Hollywood (tu)

SHARKS TO SNEAK IT - HUGE UPSET IN NELSON!!!!

On Hollywood take the 13/10 Crusaders (-15.5). Not going to be pretty for the Sharks. Crusaders are vertually back to full strength on Dagg missing at the back. Crusaders have never lost a home knock out match and the Sharks are coming off a huge game that would have taken a lot out of them before we even talk about the travelling. Go Big On The Saders, make some money for todays racing. -D

Crusaders cool as you like just walked to the game from their Hotel

I`m not allowed to watch the rugby,having to watch online <

If you consider that Nelson is a so called one horse town they would be walking. Its a very scenic and quaint town. Hoping that the Crusaders not only win this match but also the final as the people of Christchurch need something to cheer about after the 6 months that they have had to go through with the earthquakes.

20 seconds in and first signs of panic(td)

Thought bit early to shorten the line ..doh
