Meh, never miss a chance to have a dig about Saffies being chokers. It's what we do. snigger

And agree on the cricket front

The Saffies haven't choked in the last year. The simple fact is that they just haven't been good enough from the start.

The Cruraiders are apparently putting saffie noses out of joint by planning a mass signing of young SA talent.

Rapier keen hindsight.

So much for the smart money.

FWIW taips I backed the Crusaders in what I believed was the value bet of the weekend. Money aside, I also hoped like hell that the Crusaders would win. They didn't. Super well played to the Bulls.

Something like the England cricket team?

And by the way Red, if had bothered to read today's news the Crusaders are backtracking rapidly on that. But i guess Spanky never mentioned it.

Otherwise, nice tits.

I hope the Stormers win now.

There were 10 of 14 teams that were bigger failures horrie.

3 of 4 Aussie sides finished in the top half. Improvement, at last.

true Mick ...but the tahs always over promise and under deliver...the brumbies remain our most successful franchise in S14...the banjos have been perpetually mediocre ...but i spose they at least were not an embarassment this season

The Reds were the first Aust province to win a Super title.
