GoulburnSuper 14 2008: Round 1 Fixtures
February 15th 2008 04:07
No games. Only Rugby.
Friday February 15:
Crusaders (NZ) v Brumbies
7:35pm local time - Christchurch
LIVE at 5:30pm AEST Fox Sports 2
- Hate to say this so I won't...will just say it differently and politely. I'm not sure that the Brumbies will win this match. The loss of Gregan, Larkham and Paul plus Mortlock out injured will be felt. Not just by me. Hopefully the Crusaders eat dodgy pre match hotdogs.
Player to watch:
Stephen Larkham. Well...he may be there for moral support. Okay, okay...
Christian Lealiifano. Who? Yeah I don't know either but he's supposedly the new flyhalf and will be sharing the #10 position with Julian Huxley. He's also supposedly very good.
Also watch Josh Holmes, the new halfback. Although no Gregan, he's got major potential. He's an Eastwood Boy.
Standouts:
Stephen Larkham. why? why??...do I insist on doing this to myself. and you...
Adam Ashley-Cooper - the boy is angry. (RWC lost due to poor play)
Mark Gerrard - the boy is hungry. (RWC lost due to injury)
**********
Qld Reds v Highlanders (NZ)
7:05pm local time - Brisbane
LIVE at 8:00pm AEST Fox Sports 2
- Is it just me or does that Koala look really angry? From a tree to a spoon...it's all wooden. (they finished last in '07). Hopefully the Reds start seeing it seriously and pull their socks up for He Who Never Does, Chris Latham (literally. Latham's socks are always falling down). I'm going with the Reds for this match...but don't quote me.
Player to Watch:
Chris Latham - he'll want to start and finish his last Super 14 season with a bang. Latham is without a doubt one of the world's best fullbacks and can singlehandedly and singlefootedly win for his team.
Berrick Barnes - because Stephen Larkham says so (post to follow).
***************************** *********
Saturday February 16th:
Sharks (SA) v Western Force
7:10pm local time - Durban
LIVE at 4:00am AEST Fox Sports 2
- Hmmm...there is a dark side in the Force and I'm not talking about John Mitchells's true allegiance. (Mitchell is the ex All Blacks coach).
Matt Henjak is in all sorts of trouble (post to follow) but it looks like the Force does not have the depth to do without him. I'm hoping they can pull it together to at least make it to the semis. Force will win this match. Or else Henjak will beat someone else up.
Player to Watch:
Matt Giteau wants the #10 position so bad he will be drinking cartons of Red Bull. His incentive to excel is the Usurper, Berrick Barnes. Plus that multi million dollar pay cheque.

Blues (NZ) v Chiefs (NZ)
7:35pm local time - Auckland
LIVE at 5:30pm AEST Fox Sports 2
********
NSW Waratahs v Hurricanes (NZ)
7:40pm local time - Sydney
LIVE at 7:30pm AEST Fox Sports 2
- Did someone say carpaccio?...because that's what the back line looks like and that's before a match. Team should be renamed Rawatahs. Hurricanes to damage.
Player to watch:
Lachlan Turner - whooooshhhhhhh. yep. He's that fast. Plus he's an NRJRUC alumni. Those in the know, know what that means.
Kurtley Beale - another pretender. But he's definitely got what it takes and he's only 19. Larkham was Larkham when he was born. What?
***************************** **********
Sunday February 17th:
Stormers (SA) v Bulls (SA)
5:00pm local time - Cape Town
LIVE at 2:00am AEST Fox Sports 2
- You may want to stay up. After all, the Bulls are reigning Champions. Yawn.
Cheetahs (SA) v Lions (SA)
7:05pm local time - Bloemfontein
LIVE at 4:00am AEST Fox Sports 2
- Don't bother setting your alarm clock. Unless you have insomnia. This should cure it.
