Super 15 week 2

too many young blokes in your team with no experienced players to guide them when the chips are down. That's the problem with good sides. They are so used to winning that when they are losing they don't know how to get out of it. Looks like both the Bulls and Stormers are going to struggle this season.

So you referring to the Bulls?

yes off course I am referring to the Bulls. I can be sensible most of the time. Did you go to the match at Murrayfield?

A alawart Lions fan said the same thing to me before the compo started

OR nice to see you post. I think I have written somewhere on here that the Bulls should start with Piet v Zyl and Pollard if they want to have any chance of getting the backline moving - however that's not there biggest problem imo - the forwards that were once dominating every team in the Super 15 look pedestrian - also not sure Matfield is the answer and I think they will lose many more games than win

Having watched some of the games imo only 3 teams can win the Super 15 this year; those being the Chiefs, Crusaders and perhaps the Sharks; I did not see the 2nd half of the Waratahs game this morning - I see they won convincingly in the end, but looked very haphazard to me in the first half - so the Aussie conference could go to any of the Reds, Brumbies or the 'Tahs imo

Very chuffed for the Lions, but lets keep in mind that last night must have been the worst Stormers performance I have seen for a very long time; I think a positive for the Lions is that they can still improve - last season in the Currie Cup they put up some of their best games with Jantjes at fly-half and Boshoff at fullback - so I think Jantjes will still play a role going forward. Very encouraging also was the new scrum-half Faf de Klerl, who impressed me with the way he varied his play - good clean service and also has the ability to put up some very nice 'box kicks' from the base of the scrum and rucks.
