This opening round clash is at the Bosman Stadium in Brakpan
Will the home team manage to win?
Or will the visitors succeed?
Will anyone actually read this thread and why do we care? Get these minnows out of the Premier Division, for goodness sake!

I have the Valke picked here
I don’t remember and I struggle to care
late change to the Boland team. Mbiyozo starts at 7,, Angelo Brinkhuys comes onto the bench.
Who won this one?
no clue… there is ZERO coverage
Can’t get a score anywhere
score will be up SOMEWHERE in a few hours i’m sure.
Valke 42 – 48 Boland Kavaliers
Seems most other sites are still showing the 2007 CC results 🙄
Will keep looking

Where from Walter?
Oh and thanks
on sarugby.net
So Boland goes top of the log, wonder when last that happened! (If ever)
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 11) :
Thanks. Do they show who scored?
Just 5 tries to Valke and 6 to Boland
And that HT was 36-17 to the Valke so who knows how they managed to lose this one…
No scorers anywhere?
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 13) :
Thanks, that is waht i need for the log
use this link later, they will add the scorers

So Valke go above WP and Griquas.
Short lived i am sure

@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 22) :
Well they correspond so that is cool.
Peach and Smit are both gonna score big! 7 kicks each
Justin Peach is our MVP so far. 9.75 points.
Pity nobody has him!
@robdylan (Comment 25) : Believe it or not, I had him down on my piece of paper but then realised I had too many backs and had to remove one…guess who went? 🙄 😆
@Villie (Comment 26) : I wanted to pick him as well, but didn’t… silly, actually
@robdylan (Comment 27) : Oh well…it always happens like that. I had like 30 names on my initial sheet so Im sure some others that I removed will have blinders too! 😆
@Villie (Comment 28) : well, I bet you nobody even thought of picking Riaan “True Blue” Smit 😉
@robdylan (Comment 29) : I was thinking of picking Francois Hougaard as when he gets back from Baby Bok duty I think he could get game time with the Bulls!!
@Villie (Comment 30) : yeah, but I want my halfbacks to be kickers. That’s why I didn’t pick Brad.
