The Reds take on a Brumbies outfit that have had a terrible season and again I say it, they just want it all to end now. The Reds come off a fantastic victory over the Crusaders last weekend, and my initial thought here was that the Reds will walk this.
But then again, it is an Aussie derby, and we all know how boring those can be. Will we see the same thing from these two teams or will the Reds make the most of their blind school opposition and score 40 odd points?
Matt Giteau is back in the flyhalf jersey for the Brumbies, and faces his Aussie jersey rival in Quade Cooper. This will be one of the most fascinating individual match ups of the game.
The Reds will have far too much fire power for the Brumbies, winning by at least 25 points.

This weekend is showing why this super rugby is such a failure. Too many matches. Look at how many injuries are occurring. Fatigue is going to hit teams deep.

@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 79) : 😛 great work by the Brumbies
Two away games for Reds left.
Including one in NZ against the Chiefs.
Go Chiefs! 😈
I feel for some of the Brumbies players who are unwanted for their union next year but played their hearts out today
well i had the Reds to win on SB but i don’t mind not to gain a point
any points to help our SA teams
now we must win thats all
@Mocho (Comment 86) :
maybe that is why they played their hearts out JW will have to do some thinking
Well done Brumbies
So I’ve got 3 from 6 🙁 But great results for SA 😈
Mc lovin thanks for the updates you were great
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 90) : Sharks just need to do their bit this afternoon. And it will have been a super weekend for SA. Again. 😎
@chaz (Comment 91) : My pleasure. 🙂
well that make 3/6 for me 🙁
but its great to have the reds loose this one
@McLovin (Comment 92) : well i hope you are right we really don’t have a good record when it comes to the Cheetahs not in ST not even in bloem 👿
@McLovin (Comment 92) : I really hope so too 😎
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 96) : we better otherwise we’ll have the BB talking to much
@Mocho (Comment 86) : I don’t feel for them at all. They were shit the whole season and now all of the sudden they want to play their hearts out. It doesn’t work like that, you should give your all to the team every time you run out on the field.
@McLovin (Comment 1) : 😛
@McLovin (Comment 10) : Rush defence. What was it that won the Boks the 2007 RWC again.
Are we sure Jake is only getting involved next season? 😉
@McLovin (Comment 32) : Involuntary Planking – Bwhahahahaaaaahaa
classic Aussie commentators.
Ag crap, Brent Russel isn’t playing! Should be a interesting match though. Cecil Afrika on fb.
Luke Watson on the bench for the Kings. 🙂
@Ben (Comment 102) :

Half Time score

@Ben (Comment 113) : According to Pro Legoete the player doesn’t actually have to headbutt somebody to be red carded, so you never know 😛
Tell me, is Premier the name of the sponsor? What is Premier about these guys, Premier runaways?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 116) : In that case all the forward should have been red carded by now for cleaning out at the ruck! 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 117) : The premier has beens and never will be’s! 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 117) : i guess so but i don’t i thought you knew 🙂
Cecil Afrika looks out of depth in the 15’s. He needs a lot of space to creat something which he doesn’t get in 15’s. His defence looks a bit shaky as well.
2nd half is about to begin the beens and never beens i guess 😆
and just after I say something like that, Cecil gets some space and creates a try for Sam Gerber.
well SA premier has just scored a great try there is still some ummmf in them maybe not good enough for our teams of today
Kings 9

@Original Pierre (Comment 125) : how is the study going 🙂

that is just too wide SA
there’s a player that looks like JVD brother in the kings side
@chaz (Comment 131) : isn’t JPD 😳
Luke Watson on the park. 🙂
@Ben (Comment 133) : 👿
a good player but bad news
@chaz (Comment 129) : Finished with exams Yes!
Oh well, time to get settled in. Sharks match almost upon us.
Can`t wait to see our surprise guest Referee.
Good Luck Fellow Nail Biters!
gee maybe a try for KINGS GOING tmo
Mark Lawrence is my favorite ref. Most talented person on the field today .
@Original Pierre (Comment 135) :
and you did well i hope
my is almost gone (nails) but what i get to do them on Thursday
@Mocho (Comment 137) : I agree! 🙂
Bernado Botha on the field now. Should be interesting!
@Mocho (Comment 137)
Yes he is

hold on.. brumbies and chiefs won! good times now come on sharks!
@Ben (Comment 139) : @chaz (Comment 141) :
Afrika and Heini Adams are not that bad though. Let’s see what Bernado can do .
Is it me or is Luke Watson getting booed by the crowd?
@Mocho (Comment 144) : Didn’t hear any boo’s?
@Ben (Comment 139) : I can’t understand how they left Mark Lawrence out for the RWC. I rate him the best referee in the world.
@Ben (Comment 145) : Its that or they saying Luuuuukkkeee.. And whistling with joy everytime he gets the ball. Lol
@Mocho (Comment 144) : LW i guess
but like Ben said we didn’t hear any 🙂
@Mocho (Comment 146) : That makes 2 of us. Craig Joubert is so over rated and Jonathan Kaplan is just a kak referee imo. But I have to say all the refs in the world have become very inconsistent. Very frustrating, I hate to judge a ref because I don’t know that much about refereeing and I know it must be really tough. Can’t compare the refs of nowadays with Andre Watson.
@Mocho (Comment 146) : one of the best 😆
Where is our Thread for the best game today 😕
Scores level now. 13 mins left.
Cecil Afrika sprints 85m to score a try. There’s no substitute for pace!

No offence Megatron, the EP Kings SUCK! 🙂
@Ben (Comment 161) :
you can say that again 🙂
but he is a Troll
@Ben (Comment 161) : and this is the team that wanted to kick the Cheetahs out of Super Rugby.
@Mocho (Comment 163) : They fall into the same category as Pro. Stand up comedians! 🙂
Wheres is the Sharks thread? Our best of fans cant get a thread up! 🙄 😉
I know this was a friendly but the EP Kings players have played together from the Vodacom cup, where this Premier XV team have only been together for a week or so. 🙂
We are working on the hiccup in the system. It will be up in a minute.
sorry guys.
