Premier Division Round 3 Preview
It still feels like a brand new season even though BB is 2 games in, Super Rugby just started (some teams have 2 wins others none, but we won’t go into that with so many sensitive sensibilities around), and it’s Week 1 of season 18.
Oos Vrystaat vs SAIL Super Squad
At 2 and 1 Oos Vrystaat had a so-so start in BB and being freshly relegated from a tough League III this one looks like a toughie for the Boere. Almost no movement in the transfer market will make it that much harder for Oos Vrystaat.
Honestly, with SAIL playing in Georgia how many of us really care how he does in the league? But he is a strong team and with the addition of some old hands in January he is most certainly one of the favourites . Beware of new 9 star fly half Ronald Ulmer. With 9 points in first 2 BB games SAIL is leading the pack and I reckon this will be another 5 pointer. SAIL by at least 15.
Table Bay Tsunami vs Muffin’s Secret Lovers
Both teams at 2 and 1 will take this clash seriously. A solid 5th in league III for Tsunamis and the addition of a 100K+ Centre & 80K+ lock (or maybe a flank?) keeps Tsunami’s status as one of the favourites alive.
Muffins came fourth in a hotly contested fourth league that includes Heidies (5th) from the first division. No significant movement on the transfer market so I’m calling this one for the Tsunami’s by 10.
Oos Paviljoene vs WP Barbarians
The new comers to premier league started well with 2 wins but with Barbarians, Tsunami’s, Stormdogs and SAIL still to play that doesn’t say much, kinda like the Bulls in Super rugby in beating the Stormers and the Force, doesn’t mean much. Oos Pavs also managed to get promoted to third league (this was by accident) and strengthened the squad a bit, but I can’t see them beating the Barbarians.
WP won their IV league and narrowly lost the promotion game. They did not see a need to strengthen the squad but must be rolling in cash, so keep an eye on that. My tip to be in top 4 at season end, so Barbarians by 10.
Droee Worse vs Huskers
Huskers might be a dark horse in beating the Tsunami’s in round 1 and narrowly losing to Stormdogs in round 2. Got relegated from league III and made a country jump to Romania (Mrs. Schutte, is that your lipstiffy that you dropped?). No recent transfer market movement.
Worsies won their league IV and lost the promotion game to a very strong team. No movement on the transfer market, but should also have some spare cash laying around. 0 from 2 so far and I fear this might be 0 from 3. Huskers by 7.
Janbal Warriors vs StormDogs
Everybody wants to play the StormDogs now, probably lost more BB games in the last season than all the previous BB’s combined. However he still had a solid 4th in league III and bought 2 seriously strong players. He is 2 and 1 in BB and did beat Huskers last time out.
Janbal is stuck on the bottom of table but did get the very last auto promotion spot to League III. But no transfers so far but could have some cash lying around. With all said and done however StormDogs should be too strong by about 7.
Biltong Bredie Cup Premier Division Final Preview
First of all with all the confusion of team names I’d just like send a personal up yours out to the team administrators! Just saying…
2013/01/10 19:35 The Kennels
StormDogs [43694] – SAIL Super Squad [43100]
The loosener. The injury riddled Stormdogs will be thanking their lucky starts about the flexible injury playing policies of the Biltong Bredie Cup. Two of their top four (by CSR) players are currently moaning like a bunch of old housewives. The team physio has quit after some less then savoury remarks about the boys’ character.
Fortunately the team psychiatrist has stepped up and said that other than some Who’s Your Daddy issues and a few tears come match day, the chaps should be fine to play.
The SAIL super squad will be looking to push their overall CSR advantage to good measure. After raping most of Georgia’s talent and after receiving a strongly worded email from Putin, the new team language is Russian. Thus showing while they may have gained independence in 1991 the Georgians are still Russian whether they like it or not.
While English Welshman Philip Fogarty is upset about this he vowed to yдap cBoю зaдHицy.
Prediction: SAIL by ten (pissing off Georgians is a good motivational force)

WP Barbarians [43956] – Table Bay Tsunami [43606]
The Baabaas will be looking to use their lack of height to wedge in under the Table Bay Tsunami’s skirts. What they will see however will shock them.
This reporter has it on good authority that the two big boy pensioners (Jacob Bunner and Ronan Regan – both nearing their 33rd birthdays) are quite literally hung like mules and have had to have special jocks made to prevent their knees from punishing their testicles in a most knee jarring way.
It is anticipated that when the shorter Baabaas go ‘down under’ they will get knocked about a bit certainly feel slightly less manly after the experience.
This leads this reporter to go agains the grain and predict a Tsunami win, by one point.
This reporter would also to like give a shout out to the army of researchers that have worked tirelessly all week turning in page after page of non-rugby, non-factual based research for this review.
Premier division Round 8 Preview
The Second last round sees some great action for the BB cup, andalmost every team has something to play for.
TK XV – Red Bull Cruisers
TK’s men have this one game to ensure they have a semi final spot even before the last round starts. The bigger worry is for the Cruisers as they need to get two wins from the last two to ensure they avoid relegation. THE TIME IS NOW.  I think this will be one sided though as TK will take this one by 10 points at least
WP Barbarians – Droee Worse
Same Scenario as game 1 – one team to ensure they have semi spot secured and the other trying to avoid going back to first league. I do think The Worse have played some awesome rugby this season, but the WP will be too strong for them – especially with home ground advantage. WP by more than 15
Huskers  – Janbal Warriors
Now this will be a game to watch, both team on the fringe of relegation, and a lot too play for, both manager have put their holiday plans on hold for this one, and I hear that rumors have it that players and managers from both sides have careers on the line. This one will be too close to call – a margin of less than 5 – anyone can win this one – but experience might be the key factor so I will have to back thew Huskers
StormDogs – Table Bay Tsunami
Table bay will throw everything and the kitchen sink into this one, as a win here can give them a spot in the top 4. The Tsunami boys have been seen with the mental coach a lot this week, the boys needs focus for the last two games, but it starts here…. The Stormdogs are sitting pretty on the log and just needs one point for a home semi final…. This one will be a close call as the dogs form is on a downward curve and the timing of this is not great – lets hope they can turn it around.  Table bay by 2
Oos Vrystaat  – Muffin’s Secret Lovers
Game of the week in my books, set the PVR for Kook met Nataniel and get the kids to bed early….. This will be a cracker. Both coaches are trying to convince the other that they are the underdogs. There are no underdogs here, both teams have a chance to win this, and even a draw might be good a result as any log points conceded or  taken here is vital – this is the real fight for the 4th spot of the log……  My gut says Vrystaat by 5, but the Lovers will make a fight of this one
Premier Preview – Week 5
Droee Worse vs Table Bay Tsunami
Met die Table Bay Tsunami’s se aankope van die drie ou manne (Bunner -150k CSR, Manning – 75k CSR en Regan -129k CSR) is die span se gemiddelde ouderdom nou al amper 27. Die Droee Worse sal sukkel om die een te vat, maar oor ‘n seisoen of twee sal die resultaat heel moontlik omgekeer wees.
Oos Vrystaat vs Huskers
Die twee spanne se gemiddelde CSR is binne 2 000 van mekaar, maar Oos Vrystaat se vorm is lekker hoog op al hul sleutel spelers.
Nadat hulle my span in my agterplaas verwoes het moet ek die week vir hulle gaan.
Oos Vrystaat met 5
Red Bull Cruisers vs StormDogs
Na die Honde se oorheersing van die toernooi lyk dit of hul bestuurder besluit het om hul self nou the handicap om dit interesant te hou – spelers soos Viero Crugnola met CSR van oor 80 k word sommer in die pad gesteek. Gelukkig weet ons dat upsets die Cruisers se spesialiteit is. Heel moontlik nie goed genoeg vir die wen nie, maar sal hopelik die Stormdogs skrk kan maak.
Janbal Warriors vs Muffin’s Secret Lovers
‘n Klassieke geval van ‘n klub wat ontwikkel teenoor ‘n klub wat glo in aankoop. Janbal se span het hope ondervinding met ‘n gemiddelde ouderdom van 28.7 jaar!!!!! Die Lovers is 21.5 jaar. Soos in die eerste wedstryd bo gelys behoort die ou ballies die een te vat. Maar die vraag is steeds sal inkoop volhoubaar wees nou dat ons almal se spanne verby die 50k CSR merk gaan? Net tyd sal wys.
*(Gemiddeldes is gebaseer op die spanne se top 15 spelers)
Week 4 Premier Leugue Preview
Welkom terug aan almal na die 2 weke se onderbreking! Baie geluk aand die Suid spanne wat die Noord teen suid kompetisie hierdie jaar goed gewen het! Nou terug by dit wat regtig van belang is, Biltongbredie!!!!
Red Bull Cruisers [43110] – WP Barbarians [43956]
Twee swaar gewigte wat mekaar pak. Die Barbare lyk dodelik gevaarlik soos altyd, maar hulle het nie ‘n impakspeler soos Omar Gaitán van die Cruisers nie. Die man het hope ondervinding met oor 300 wedstryde en goeie CSR’s. Hy sal beslis ‘n goeie wedstryd wil speel voor sy tuis skare. Teen 34 is daar seker nie meer baie seisoene oor vir hom nie. Hy was wel baie beskeie toe ek vanoggend ‘n onderhoud met hom gevoer het, en gee die WP Barbarians baie krediet vir die manier hoe hulle laas week met die Oos Vrystaters afgereken het. Dit gaan ‘n taai wedstryd vir beide spanne wees en ek sien die WP Barbarians gaan alweer in daai (heeltemal te klein) truitjies speel.
Dit is nie maklik om ‘n wenner te voorspel nie, maar die WP Barbarians kan die een weg wen as hulle spanbestuurder mooi kop hou. WP met 5 punte.
Droee Worse [43699] – Huskers [42802]
Die Vleis sigare lek nog hulle wonde na hul 33-0 vernedering deur die StormHonne laas Donderdag. Die manne is nuut in die top liga en sukkel maar nog om hulle voete te vind. Hierdie week speel hulle tuis teen die Huskers, geen maklike taak nie. Die Huskers het omtrent 15 spelers, almal beter as die Worse se beste man. Ek is bly ek hoef nie die spangebed voor die game te doen nie, dit sal beslis iets bo-menslik van vir die Droeworse vat om die een te wen. Die Huskers, met twee verlore na mekaar, sal lus wees vir bloed vanaand. Ek het vroer hierde week hul oefening gaan bywoon, en ek dink die skrum masjiene het nog steeds nie herstel nie. Daai harregat afrigter van die Worse is maar stil in die media hierdie seisoen.
Alhoewel dit ‘n weg wedstryd vir hulle is kan ek nie anders as ‘n groot wen vir die Huskers voorspel nie. Huskers met minstens 12 punte.
Janbal Warriors [5501] – StormDogs [43694]
Die StormDogs lyk weer onstuitbaar hierdie seisoen, met drie maklike wenne op ‘n streep.
Janbal lyk self nie sleg nie en soek hierdie wen om in die top 4 te kom. George Quant, die StormDogs se nr1 speler is vol selfvertroue, met goeie rede sou ek se. Volgens hom is die gameplan eenvoudig, “laat die bal net loop tot by my”. Hy het nog net een drie hierdie seisioen gedruk, so ek weet nie van sy plan af nie. Tog dink ek die Stormdogs het heeltemal te veel skietgoed vir die Warriors. Janbal sal alles moet gee vir hierdie tawwe wedstryd. tuisvoordeel of te not. Hulle sal graag ‘n herhaling van hulle naelbyter met TK XV wil sien, een punt maak tog so ‘n groot verskil.
Die Stormhonne wen nie met klein oorwinning nie, en ek vermoed nog ‘n groot oorwinning. Stormdogs met 20 punte.
Oos Vrystaat [5472] – TK XV [43100]
Daar was die laaste 3 weke natuurlik onophoudelike media berigte oor die herrie wat losgebars het oor die TK XV se skielike naamverandering na “SAIL Super Squad”. Dit blyk dat daar nog steeds baie ongelukkigheid onder die spelers heers en hulle nog steeds nie uitklaring oor die toekoms van die TK trui het nie. Dit het ongelukkig ook die bedanking van een van hulle staatmakers, Dwight Samson te weeg gebring. Des nie teen staande, lyk hulle nie sleg op die veld nie, dis nou as ons daai glipsie teen Janbal uit die prentjie los, bygese. Aan die anderkant is Oos Vrystaat glad nie te sleg af na die eeste 3 weke nie. Nog ‘n nuweling tot die Premier devisie, lyk dit darem asof hulle heel goed sal kan kompeteer op hierdie vlak. Met die volgende 3 wedstryde tuis, sal hulle beslis kan sorg vir ‘n verrasing of twee. Dalk nie vanaand nie, TK, oftewel die SAIL manne lyk taamlik gatvol vir die media en sal hulle graag nou wil stilspeel.
Ek voorspel ‘n bloedige wedstryd met die SAIL Super Squad wat as oorwinnars sal afstap. SAIL Super Squad met so 10 punte.
Table Bay Tsunami [43606] – Muffin’s Secret Lovers [44231]
Met beide spanne, elk met 1 wen sover in hierdie seisoen, behoord hierdie die mees interresantste wedstryd van die week op te lewer. Die Muffins het al pak uitgedeel, maar ook verlede week pak gevat. Die spanbestuurder se vir my hulle het bietjie geeksperimenteer laas week, dinge het duidelik skeef geloop. Sit neer die proefbuis, beweeg stadig weg van die proefbuis…….Die Tsunami aan die ander kant kom met ‘n naby verloor en ‘n goeie oorwinning oor die laaste twee weke. Dit lyk of hulle begin vorm kry maar as ek luister na die kaptein, is hulle maar versigtig optimisties oor hulle kaanse, weet nie hoekom nie.
Daar word baie gepraat oor tuisvoordeel, maar persoonlik dink ek die Table bay warrel winde gaan net eenvoudig te sterk wees vir die Loverboys (sjoe verlang ek nou na die 80’s. LL…Lover LLLL..Lover) Table Bay Tsunami met 8 punte.
