The 1st of a few do or die matches this weekend, although some would say the Griquas have already died.
The news that Griquas flyer Bjorn Basson has been sold to the Blue Bulls for a R1million transfer fee could have a pretty negative affect on the team with the players adopting a “well why bother attitude” as a team. As individuals this could spur them on to bigger and better things with the achievements of Basson spurring them on in the hopes that one of them may aalso be snapped up by a bigger team. This is a team sport though and individual ambitions may not be the greatest thing.
WP will be showing the same killer instinct they did against the Leopards when they racked up 59 points. WP and the Blue Bulls are on a collission course to possibly end up on equal log points at the end of the season and WP will be doing their best to ensure that the have a vastly superior Points Difference over the Blue Bulls, although i think they have already achived that comfortably.

@KSA Pink Shark © (Comment 4) : Mine:
Cheetahs by 12
Province by 16
Bulls by 9
Sharks by 8
@Jarson (Comment 6) : Why is my Bulls pick so low 😯 😳
@Jarson (Comment 7) : maybe you meant 90?
@robdylan (Comment 8) : I’d much rather have had them by 19 🙂
@Jarson (Comment 7) :
😆
@robdylan (Comment 8) :
@Jarson (Comment 9) : Even that won’t be big enough
@Jarson (Comment 5) : Was I the only one on LMS to go for WP?
Guess so. I only had bulls left. Am screwed the next two weeks. I need to go griquas next weekend against whoever they play. Who DO they play?
Pumas…
@robdylan (Comment 12) : Ive got Lions and Sharks remaining 😎
I had mine wrong. I still have Lions, Pumas and Leopards to pick.
I am screwed. Will prob go pumas next week. Maybe they can shock griquas at home. Then lions surely must take pumas in the last round. Should get me to the end, but probably not with a lifeline.
Jarson, you must be feeling pretty good with those picks left! How did you get rid of the pumas?
@Jarson (Comment 14) : Oh! And Leopards
@robdylan (Comment 16) : Picked the Pumas vs Leopards in both games
WP 0 – 3 Griquas
Cheetahs 0 – 3 Pumas
Province 3 – 3 Griquas
Got WP by 10 hope i’m right

Griquas look kak, hey? Downey is the only oke having a good game.
@Fattmann (Comment 80) : howzit chum! Nice to see you here
@robdylan (Comment 82) : I think quite a few people picked Pumas when I did. I expect a draw again with a few people making it through.
@robdylan (Comment 82) :

Hardly saw him and Engelbrecht scored a flippen HATTRICK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Well done to the Cheetahs and WP
but Sharks are waiting for a CC final and a home town game and then my friends the CC will be where it belongs well at least for a year
@wpw (Comment 25) :
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you’re putting some words in Steyns mouth there. it looks like he hasn’t said he is unavailable for the Springboks at all.
He HAS said
“I’ve got this umpteenth meeting cancelled as proof. I’ve taken note of that and so expect nothing more from the Springboks”
“It’s too early to say whether I’ll not be there. But I’ll definitely do what Racing want. If my bosses don’t want me to go, I won’t.”
VERY DIFFERENT FROM MAKING YOURSELF UNAVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
