you mean 16.5 or did you take lesser odds at 26.5?

The rain might save the Kings. I have seen too many matches where a team defends for their lives for 60 minutes then the floodgates open. Recon Sharks at -22,5 looks good value at half time.

Kings defended brilliantly first half, can't see them carrying on like that second half...

Well done guys, good defense by the Kings, but no real attacking intent shown. Going to be interesting to see how they contain the Chiefs next weekend.

Great win by the Bulls against the supposed 2013 champions.

Fantastic weekend for SA rugby beating 3 NZ, 2 in NZ. -D

Well done jou bulle fans....-D

And now? After reading how much better/faster/stronger and more skilful the New Zealand teams are I tipped against the Cheetahs/Stormers and Bulls! What happened to these supposed better teams?:S I am very happy though!(tu)

Listening to the Blues Captain afterwards, it sounded like they were over-confident,Its only one week however and the tournament has months to go.Craig ,how did you rate the refs performance in the Sharks game? He looked like a home town ref as he blew the Sharks to pieces,contributed to a shocking match.The Stormers game was superb but the Sharks match reminded me of watching that crap from the Northern Hemisphere were you may as well not have a backline.

Yes as some of the commentators said, they cannot believe a springbok prop would keep making the same mistake over and over again. Most people seem to think he got it wrong most of the time. He seemed to think he was centre stage.

Any comments on the Springbok wing botching a try - Mvovu just had to run straight for 5 metres and he scores - but instead he cuts inside into the defender and gets held up :S

I agree the ref in that game was poor (and last season I thought he was one of the better ones - hopefully he just had an off day); gave me the impression that he was doing everything he could to assist the Kings - that being said the Sharks inability to break down a good defensive pattern must be a little worrying - although they crossed the line 3 or 4 times they still failed to actually score a try :

Best game for me was the Stormers / Chiefs - entertaining to the end and I think both teams will be involved in the play-offs.

I still can't believe the Cheetahs and the Bulls (did not see the game) - and some people say racing is hard to call :S
