Another Bullish Rugby Season!

My Kuduclub account is active, the snacks are stacked up and a valuable compromise has been reached in the Bouwer household that I can watch at least one of the five Super 14 rugby games that'll be played weekly, come Friday.
The game tomorrow between the Brumbies and the Crusaders kicks off the start of another mouthwatering season of premier Southern hemisphere rugby. The best 14 regional teams from Australia, New Zeeland, and South Africa compete again and honor, pride, and patriotism is on the line. Ag, actually just an excuse to get together and zone, while the wifes go shop!

Last year's Champs (who stole it from the Sharks), the Bulls, are certainly not the clear favorites. My prediction: Semi-finalists will be the Crusaders, Sharks, Warathas maybe, and definitely one other team.
Some say maybe this is finally the Stormers' year. Die hoop beskaam nie...

PS - If you register at http://www.telecomvirtualrugby.co.nz/ you can guess the outcome of every game and play against your friends, every week. Do join, it's loads of fun - though you won't beat me!
