After the first week in the 2011 Super Rugby season we saw a few very close games, a big upset to get us all started and very interesting results in the way of margins and fantasy league points.
In the Sharksworld Superbru pool, we have Superviv as the leader on 8,5 points, with Tackler also on 8,5 points, but listed as second. The rest of the top 5 are all on 8,25 points, with Justplainsharks in third, Pump in fourth and Haddock in fifth. The big decider this weekend was the Crusaders/Blues game, which split the field a bit.
Over on Justrugby.net, the fantasy league got off to a cracker of a start, with Sharksworld’s regular New Zealander Hertford Highlander leading the way in pole position. He beat Addicted by a single point to pick up the 50 point bonus for ending the weekend with the most points. HH’s team ended on 498,75 after the 50 bonus points, Addicted with 447,75 in second. Third we Zeke’s Winners on 416, Zuma se omkoop XV in fourth with 405,5 and PumaPagels rounding off the top 5 on 400.
The Last Man Standing took a pounding with a big upset in the first game of the season, the Highlanders beating the Hurricanes. That, along with a few non entries and a single pick on the Chiefs, saw the end of 23 out of the 98 teams, leaving 75 people alive.
Good luck for the coming weekend!

Awe c’mon!! You could have listed the top 10 on FL. 😛
Impressive that we have 3 regulars in the top 5.
Well done HH, Jarson & Puma.
Oh and I’m in the top 10. (just FYI)
@KSA Shark © (Comment 2) :
Was a bit short on time when writing the article..
Will do a top 10 from next week..
If the Reds had lost it would have been absolute carnage on LMS. I was so hoping the Force would take the game. I’d never thought that I would cheer on the Force like that ever.
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 3) : If I’m not in the top 10 then please list the top 20…….
@Pokkel (Comment 4) : you and me both.
man that was close.
@Pokkel (Comment 4) :
We were all secretly hoping for a bloodbath.. hehe
@KSA Shark © (Comment 5) :
And if you stone last, list everybody?
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 7) : Well maybe not ALL. I’m sure the guys that picked the Reds were chewing there nails during that game.
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 8) : only if you have time. 😉
I have a feeling that you’ll only need to list the top 5. 😛
As they say in Afrikaans, “ek voel dit so in my broek”
Ek hoop net dit is nie ‘n drol wat ek kan voel nie. 😀
@Pokkel (Comment 9) :
We had a few guys that were throwing in the towel at one stage..
@KSA Shark © (Comment 10) :
Haha!! If I were in the top 10 I would also liked to get a mention.
Try the top 6,0 what a dismal start bloody Nonu!!
@Pokkel (Comment 9) : Not only nails 🙄 😆
Would be absolutely ghostly to be eliminated in the first round.
Thank you Mr Cooper
@KSA Shark © (Comment 2) :
hey hold on PumaPagels isn’t Puma it is some player named Oosthuizen.
@rekinek (Comment 14) :
And that after you almost got eliminated for not picking anything. 🙂
@Whindy (Comment 13) :
Yip Nonu cost me.
You’re Fired !
@KSA Shark © (Comment 15) :
I just realised that all four my halfbacks have a bye in the 4th week.. Haha
I see almost everyone is chosing ther brumbies this week in LMS
@Ben (Comment 19) :
I dont think its a good idea to put other people’s selections out there. Picks are hidden until you make your own..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 20) : Well its a bit obvious isn’t it?
@Ben (Comment 21) :
Rather don’t..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 22) : Well sorry for pointing out the obvious then.
And I don’t mean it sarcasticly
@Ben (Comment 24) :
I know dude.. no worries.. I made the mistake once, I don’t want you to get kakked on..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 25) : Cool. I had a bit of a brain fart. Sorry everyone.
Im 16th
@Ben (Comment 26) : i once posted the picks 😳 . got shouted at (badly) and then I think KSA had to put me out of my misery and delete the post 😕
@KSA Shark © (Comment 16) : i’m just making it 😆
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 27) : i’m 61 😆
@rekinek (Comment 30) : You’re an old man! 🙂
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 20) : But it’s fine to discuss other people’s FL squads? 😉
@rekinek (Comment 30) : Ouma 😉
Reki is a chick!
For those that may not know it, AddicteD is me 😛
@Ice (Comment 34) : A lot of us were fooled
@Ice (Comment 34) : who knows what happens when you reach that age. touch wood I won’t have any moustaches
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 35) : we would not have guessed 😈 congrats just make sure that HH does not get third cup before me.
@rekinek (Comment 38) : I’ll make sure that neither of you get one before me
@rekinek (Comment 14) : Cooper was my Captain aswell 😛
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 40) : he was not my captain. He just contributed greatly to my stress with this 50-50 passes but fortunately reedemed himself with this last kick.
i put Digby Ione as a captain. He was supposed to score try after try 🙄
@rekinek (Comment 41) : In my mind I was already dead 😈
Varsity cup anyone?
