well picked up...
the maths on that should be:
Sharks lose by less than 5 and therefore pick up BP

No chance Sharks will loose. No chance.
Some interesting stats however: In the past four years neither team has won at home.
Last time they played in Durban (2005) Highlanders beat the Sharks 43 - 7.

well i would have loved to have seen the tahs get up over the cheetahs... stayed up late to watch it and was pretty disappointed. :(
would have put us in 2nd too.
Was a crazy weekend of upsets... my tipping was awful!!
I don't imagine there would have been too many to tip that next weekend at Subiaco would have been 3rd hosting 7th that's for sure!!!
Still think we will whop them but the Lions will be a lot more confident than they could/should have been if results had gone as most predicted.
It was great while it lasted. Carn Force. You can get there again!
Yep, March 30th when we host the top of the table clash with the Sharks :DQuote:

Just let me know.

I think we've got a good shot at second this week, I don't think a bonus point win is out of the question as long as the boys don't get intimidated by the home win thing.
Cheetahs will have trouble against the crusaders and Sharks have the bye so I think second is a real possibility at this stage.
The best things about the win on Sat (Perth time) against the Bulls were the amazing self belief that they were still in it, the refusal to be intimidated by the crowd, the defence, especially midfield defence which was a prob last year, the confidence in EACH OTHERS defence,the patience to build phases in attack, and knowing when to let the backline into play. Go you forceful thing!!
Good analysis Beejay, well put...
Go the Force this weekend, again i feel a win coming on. THE FORCE IS STRONG
