DC vs QC-Super 15 Final

hey guys!!

so who u thinks is gonna take the final?

well to me(coz i love the all blacks) Crusaders gonna win it!!!! And of courde they have been in many finals!!

but Quade Cooper is so out of this world insane, mad, awesome etc :silly: :silly: :silly: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
wot he did to the blues last week left me stoopid :lol:

it is gonna be a sick game!!!

Hmm, to be honest I feel the reds have played the better rugby this season, regardless of who they had to play, etc.. Dan Carter is a machine, but he has not performed this season like he has in the past and Cooper is on 'fire'.. I think it will be a close game regardless, but reds by 5

Reds have played better rugby, but Im a Crusaders fan second to the Sharks ofcourse, I think they are going to pull it off.
Quade Cooper is kicking terribly but that guy is dangerous, his side step is lethal.

Cooper has never been the greatest kicker, he has picked up his game this season, then again Dan has missed his fair share of kicks this season, some has Lambie, so has Grant so has Morne Steyn..

Allot of pressure in this level of rugby

You know what you absolutely right everyone's kicking has been up to Sh** this season, must be the pressure. I saw Quade miss one practically in front of the poles this season, and whats with the Stormers never taking kickable penalties. Pressure....

Cooper wont be allowed to run around like he wants. Saders by 2. And only because the travelled both ways in 2 weeks. If they stayed home Saders by 15.

Carter is one up on QC due to his great tactical abilities especially his kicking game. However carter can implode magnificently when he gets the ball on the back foot and under continuous pressure.

QC has more flair and unpredictability to his game and is def a game breaker with his amazing individual abilities.

This game will be fought and won in a massive forward battle as the key to both teams lie within the two halfbacks respectively. Yes SBW and freuen are great game breakers but if carter is on the back foot the whole time these two guys will struggle to break the Reds line of defense.

Purely due to my major dislike in Aussie teams I am rooting for the Saders in this one. But if what I stated above happens, then the Reds and QC will have a field day with them.

Saders by 3-5

The battle at 9-10 might be close but Crusaders will dominate everything else. Anyone who saw the Saders pack absolutely destroy the Stormers forwards last week will know there's only gonna be one winner tomorrow.

Having said that Cooper's on another planet when it comes to running the ball, but he'll never get close to matching Dan the Man. How can you compare him to DC when he's forced to defend at fullback because he can't tackle for shit? And bith his tactical and goal kicking leave a lot to be desired.

Cooper,along with the Reds, will get shown up tomorrow. 23-13 to the Saders but hoping for a Reds upset just to piss off the plastic Saders and All Black "supporters" here in the Cape

Well lets see after saturday.. I say the Reds with smash the saders..

I have to say Saders (don't forget that back 3 of the crusaders ) but ja if your backline is under pressure it is difficult to use those outside runners , so i think it all depends on what's gonna happen up front

Wrong Reds by 5 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Smile told you reds would take it.. out of 2 of my pools I was the only one to chose reds

Lol ja ja ja. Reds really deserved the win

If it wasnt for the travel the Crusaders would've taken it.

If they dont choke AGAIN - the All Blacks are perfectly on track for peaking at the world cup.

I'm buying a black yersey.

Travel wasn't a problem for them for most of the season and they didn't at any point in the game look as though they were fatigued. They lost it in the lineouts and at the breakdown, fair and square.

Come on JR, don't tell me you're a glory hunter now? Next you'll tell us you a former Brazil and current Spain and Barcelona fan

Travel both ways in 14 days? Come on! Everyone knows it takes its toll. Heavily. Just because the All Blacks(read Crusaders) travell well dosnt mean they dont feel it at all.

Just dont have any faith in the Springbok setup at all.

When the so called rugby experts start going off about how brilliant Jean de Villiers is i want to puke. JP Pietersen? Jacques Fourie? Schalk Burger, Habana? Up until a little while ago everyone was crying about Frans Steyn for pete's sake! Thank goodness January realized he is no good and backed off.

Have you listened to the ramblings PDV made about SonnyBill Williams a while ago? He ran circles around the little Stormers. Sorted all three centers at once (Yes Schalk Burger thinks he is one).

The South African setup are becomming less and less of what i consider Springbok. Give it a couple of years and we will pull the Bok off the sleeve and be left with the likes of Bafana-Bafana.

Definitely agree with you on that JR, problem is with the game having gone professional the "Springbok" is seen more as a brand than a national heritage. I would also not be surprised to see the Coca Cola logo where the bok once was, but does that mean we shouldn't back our boys to the hilt?

Sure PDV probably doesn't know what he's doing half the time (btw I agree with him on the whole SBW issue, the Reds showed that he's definitely one dimensional and can so easily be found out) but as soon as those players put on the green and gold jersey and belt out our natinal anthem I could not care less about PDV. They are our national team and deserve our 100% support.

God knows how many times I've said "fuck this shit!" when the Proteas inevitably choke, but the very next game I'm firmly behind them as if nothing had ever happened. Same with Bafana, our hockey teams and any other team that represents our country.

End of the day, we have the best players in the world, and I am true to my heart. GO BOKKE, we going to dominate this WC... Trust me, just like I was right about the reds, I am right about this.. This title is ours..

It all depends on whether or not PDV will continue with his Bulls-bias or if he'll finally pay attention to s15 form. If John Smit starts anywhere in the front row we'll struggle to make it past the quarter finals

I share ur optimism mate. (Touch wood)

Deadgoat as much as I also believe John's time is over, I am sure he will come to the party when he is needed... Lets see what our B team looks like in the Trinations.. End of the day if we play as a team, and all our players pitch, we going to be a very difficult team to beat... Deadgoat as much as John Smit is a problem is Fourie plays like he has his last few games, or Morne Steyn plays like he has, etc we going to have a tough time.. This is not club rugby, this isn't super rugby, this is test level and its a whole nother ball game, its a much slower style of rugby, with not nearly as much loose play, and you will not see the style of Rugby you have in the S15 final as you will in the WC..

End of the day, i'm a proud South African and the only team i'm supporting is the Boks.. We going to dominate this WC, watch..
