Quarter Finals were not good to me - drop from second to fourth on the MEW Superbru leaderboard. @wenzdayz crushing it though - up two places and over 2 points clear
I see @Avatar in the Top 10 too still. Anyone else there using a non-MEW name?
I am doing much better in the Cricket World Cup pools at the moment though:
Currently 10th in the World, 8th in South Africa. And that’s all based on pure thumb sucked predictions so far - I haven’t been able to watch a single CWC match yet.

A win is a win! But two single point matches, a relatively poor Bok performance, and a powerful resurgent All Black team suggest they have some serious prep to do before the Final.

One of the SuperSport pundits after the game said it well(can’t remember who it was), maybe they need this slump to fight hard for the win. One can only hope.

3 weeks in a row featuring heart attacks. And Proteas gave us a Heart attack on Friday as a warm up for the RWC Final.

SA got no awards at the World Rugby Awards ceremony last night… Bryan Habana got inducted into the hall of fame, and Eben made it to the dream team. Thats it! Ireland made team of the year because they won the Six Nations, and Andy Farrell is coach of the year… Feels like these awards were decided before the world cup even began!
