    So you guys and girls that picked your teams already, how much thought did you put into your picks? Did you go with gut feel or did you analyse previous results, logged possible outcomes and figure scoring margins into your picks?

    tl;dr (honestly? Was that too long for you? Pffft!): Did you pick with heart or brain?
    I worked backwards... who would be in the final, semi-finals, quarter-finals?

    Then take the QF teams and work back to the pools to see who they were playing and predict some scores.

    Then work out if it is worth picking a team that will most probably make the SFs but won't score as many points as a losing QF team !!

    Best part? I cannot win the comp as I'm the administrator of it!

    After what happened Friday in the Currie Cup, I think [MENTION=8179]MickeyD[/MENTION] already has a bigcat skin throw rug So the card should go nicely with that.
    One day, I'll grow up and become responsible.
    Probably not today.

    I so agree with Ali on this one except for the Pretoria bit cos that's B.S rather quote Newlands

    And then there is this Habana can become a real WC legend this year if he plays a great game every game
