Nah, as many fetchers as possible in the tight 5 PLUS an out and out fetcher at flank and another flank fetcher on the bench. Thats how you beat oversized teams that are slow to the breakdown

Fetchers are badly under-rated in RSA rugby. Every starting side should have one and another on the bench

Mate I predicted that Wales would beat France on that thread and that was enough for me. This game will be tournament defining however

Some guys just pick based on how strong/weak franchises were in the past but that means nothing. The coach and current players + injuries are everything

the fact that Billy Vunipola is out injured could be massive

You might think I'm mental for saying this but am beginning to feel that England have the better pack Guess it all depends on whos injured cause the two squads are so evenly matched Bummed about the ref. He should have been kicked out of rugby after RWC 2011

South African fans dont take poor performances lightly. When deVilliers wins the Stormers their next match the fans will love him again.

Hey mate from Darwin The Lions were a major threat in our local compo (the currie cup) in 2013 and no one should have underestimated them. If they remain injury free they'll avoid the wooden spoon with ease. In my fantasy prediction game I had them to beat the Stormers by 6 but their 24 point...

Hey guys, Just looking to get a better feel from you on this MAMMOTH upcoming clash. In typical seasons the Bulls are giants and look to crush the diminutive Lions. In 2014 thus far their roles appear to have been reversed as the Lions have won 2 from 2 and the Bulls are 0 from 2...

Hey guys, biggest and hardest game of the round to call. who's gonna win it?

And so, the predictions didn't help France after all. That bye week was exactly what Wales needed (suffering post Lions tour fatigue). Can't wait for upcoming tests

Just throwing this out there, Wales are gonna win.

So, to go against the aggregate in all 3 conferences... SAF 43 Sharks 36 Stormers 19 Cheetahs 28 Bulls 09 Lions AUS 34 Waratahs 34 Brumbies 40 Reds 09 Force 18 Rebels NZL 41 Chiefs 36 Crusaders 29 Blues 09 Highlanders 21 Hurricanes

Gena - Hurricanes will be nowhere in 2014. Blues to finish above them. Rebels might also have a nightmare, could take the wooden spoon instead of Force

Mate I'm always neutral :)

My two cents is that England need to play the old Saffir/Bulls style rugby of all territory and any possession worked through the forwards. Am extremely concerned about the lack of caps in their back line, especially playing at a cauldron like Stade de France. France are good but not great...

Thanks TRF_Olyy.

Brussow would be a dream come true. Would love for the Sharks to get him but he's been so loyal to the Cheetahs that it would be hard to see him leave. Now that the Sharks are owned by Aspen they can afford any player in world rugby (even to buy them out of contracts) but they are sticking...

Hey guys, Sorry to deviate off the subject but could you give me a heads up on these English players regarding whether they are still injured and for how long. Manu Tuilagi, Geoff Parling, Tom Croft, Christian Wade, Marland Yarde, Alex Corbisiero, David Wilson Ben Foden
