To prevent spamming and derailing the Krispy thread. What a weekend for sports, especially local!

We beat the living crap out of everyone in the sevens, with I think only 4 tries against us the whole weekend!
We handily beat Sri Lanka in the first ODI, with a nice return to form for Amla (hope it stays) and with Parnell finally doing some nice bowling. Quintin de Kock's keeping is also just getting better.
Then, probably for the last time, we got to see Federer and Nadal in a Grand Slam final again.

Unfortunately due to the Bachelors this weekend I couldn't watch any of it Live, but I did check the highlights. There is a lot of Cricket ahead, as we are playing New Zealand once this Sri Lanka tour is finished. I'm not really aresed about the Super Rugby at this point in time; just glad for the cricket.

Yeah some great results for South Africa this weekend! i don't watch any sport anymore however. Going for a year of no sport, more gaming and more working towards my goals.

Will continue sport betting however but will base it purely on statistics and will see how it goes. I withdrew all my winnings from last year and will be starting very small this year.

Not to be a devil on your shoulder, but I stream my sports and usually watch it while I'm busy gaming (2 monitors). Cricket doesn't require your fully attention at all; something nice to watch while gaming actually.

I do the same with the rugby, and I only watch the team I support, and not even always.
So you can game and watch sports at the same time

Good luck with your endeavour though, I'll tag you here every once in a while 'cause reasons

Hehe that's maybe an option. Will think about it.

And you are welcome to tag me because I remain a sport fanatic. Just in a different way than before.

To answer [MENTION=6280]Blazzok[/MENTION]s question. The 2 teams that should be cut from our side are the kings and the bulls. With a religation system coming into play to cycle the lowest team. The bulls are playinig apauling rugby atm and i think its a coaching issue nollis does not have a solid game plan and is to erratic in setting one up cos wvery week the bulls play a different type of rugby. The auzzies will have to cut a team as well and like things are going it should be the reds or the rebels but most likely will be the rebels.

In motogp. Man vinyales is a rocket on that yamaha and if he just keeps his cool like his doing he can win this championship. And if rossi just goes about hes business he can claim his 10th title this year i think its still early but man those 2 look good. Hope marquez fails every race and i think lorenzo is realising he made a mistake going to ducati. At least our 7s are not plummeting downward they are exciting atm.

I had to go far back to find this thread.

Is anyone following the ICC Women's World Cup? We are playing the first semi final against England today. It would be great if we could win the title, show them men cricketers how it's done

I see updates about games pop up in my Instagram feed every now and then. Don't really follow the current competition. Really glad to hear they are doing so well. I hope they go to the finals and FINALLY win SA cricket some silverware.


On another point, we need to start researching the Pro12 and which teams and players are there, seeing as the Cheetahs and The Kings will be playing in that European league after being cut from Super Rugby. I'm sad to see them go from the competition, but now we get to watch more rugby over a weekend by following a different competition. So yay!!

So who is up for the Lions taking the SR title this year. I'm rooting for them all the way. and how are the feelings about some of the SA teams among the kings and Cheetahs going to play in overseas leagues?

[Blazzok]

I'm a Stormers supporter however I don't believe they will make it. If an SA team can take it, it is definitely the Lions. I'll also be rooting for them to take it, I really hope they do.

[DieGrootHammer]

the Lions have a fantastic chance of winning the SR this year. Thankfully this time around they've ended up top of the log, so if they continue to win their knock-out games, they will have a home final. That is huge! It's probably the reason why they lost last year. The Lions are going to breeze past the Sharks, and probably face the Hurricanes in their semi final. The Crusaders and the Chiefs will battle it out in the other semi, and finally It will be the Crusaders and the Lions in the final at Ellis Park. It will be a sellout crowd and the Lions will play like absolute demons and beat their third New Zealand team in a row, and claim the Super Rugby championship.
