February 29th 2008 00:00
Happy Leap Year Day everyone!
Not sure what this means you can do, other than leap frogs, puddles and tall buildings (well this is a Super post...).
Oh yeah...the ladeez can propose. A toast?
On with the games...

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29
HURRICANES (NZ) v CHIEFS (NZ)
at Westpac Stadium, Wellington
LIVE at 5:30pm AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Hurricanes 39-32, in Hamilton, February 2007
The Chiefs got lucky last week with their win over The Waratahs. Yes I know I give the Tahs a lot of grief but if it wasn't for the last minute penalty (handed on a platter with bells on by the Tahs)...Tahs Coach, Ewen McKenzie would have been back in hospital...
Hurricanes caned Qld last week. And the match wasn't pretty either... Don't really care who wins at this stage but I flipped a coin anyway. (plus history says so...)
Hurricanes to win.
********************
SATURDAY, MARCH 1
WESTERN FORCE v LIONS (SA)
at Ellis Park, Johannesburg
LIVE at 3:30am AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Lions 25-24, in Perth, February '07
Apparently, the Lions remain the only South African team that hasn't been beatenup by Matt Henjak by the Force.
What does it all mean?
Pride has no place with the Force?
hahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha hahahaha!!!...ahhh sheesh...I'm funny...
Anyway, the Lions are feeling the Blues after being thrashed by them. Wounded pride makes them dangerous. Still...Gits was on fire last week and Cameron Shepherd is back at fullback, moving Drew Mitchell to wing where he does the most damage.
Force to win.

CRUSADERS (NZ) v STORMERS (SA)
at Newlands, Cape Town.
LIVE at 5:30am AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Crusaders 36-11 in Christchurch, March 2007
Ho hum. Does anyone really care? We all know this is a done deal...or is it?
Believe it or not, The Stormers have actually had themselves a can of Crusaders whup ass, way back in '06...but The Stormers haven't whipped up any wins so far this year and The Crusaders...well, they're out to get the Holy Grail.
Crusaders by 400.

HIGHLANDERS (NZ) v NSW WARATAHS
at Carisbrook, Dunedin
LIVE at 5:30pm AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Highlanders 26-25, in Sydney, April 2007
Oh my God. Carisbrook is the House of Pain.
...and the Tahs are already in pain with the loss of Prop snArL Baxter and the Highlanders pack is as scary as a Scot denied his brew on Hogmanay.
Pudding aka Matt Dunning has moved to Tighthead, which means that the Tahs are going to get penalised for not engaging and Pudding will kiss the ground and then he'll cry.
AND...Kurtley Beale sucks. Larkham's successor his ass...umption.
Highlanders haven't won a match...but that will change. Sorry Tahs, but I'm picking the Highlanders to win.
(NB. If the Tahs win...I'll eat my Tah backwards.)

QLD REDS v BRUMBIES
at Canberra Stadium, Canberra
LIVE at 7:30pm AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Brumbies 6-3, Brisbane, February 2007
May The God of Rugby-ing forgive me for this lack of faith but...Fisher didn't use the answer tomy his prayers.
Larkham would have been the Saviour.
The Brumbies are hurting, they're hurting bad and the Reds are looking good to win their first ever match in Canberra.
(The Reds have won only once in 13 matches v The Brumbies.)
Comparing the Reds backline to the Brumbies...I'll take Ferrari horsepower over equine speed. And that Angry Koala is a bear back rider...
Reds will win. Fisher to beg for forgiveness.
...but just in case the mere presence of Larkham is a blessing for these guys...
Go The Brumbies!!

SUNDAY, MARCH 2
CHEETAHS (SA) v BLUES (NZ)
in Bloemfontein, SA.
LIVE at 2:00am AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Blues 26-8, in Auckland, April 2007
The Blues are bruising their opponents and the Cheetahs are just not good enough to land one.
Blues cruise.

BULLS (SA) v SHARKS (SA)
at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
LIVE at 4:00am AEST Fox Sports 2
Last meeting: Bulls 20-19 in Durban, May 2007
May I suggest you at least program the DVD-R?
Even though the Bulls were massacred by the Crusaders last week, these 2 are the 2007 finalists (Bulls won).
The Sharks are currently sitting 3rd on the Ladder....and I'm predicting Jaws will chomp the Bullrush.
Sharks attack.
