Super 14 fixtures 2009, Super rugby is back in February
Hey Hey, it's Friday! Agh what the heck, let's not talk all work today, how can we, It is Super Rugby time as the Vodacom Super 14 kicks off today! Rugby is such a good way to forget about work for a while. There's probably going to be 5 different people in my office today to discuss the Super 14 log, the Super 14 fixtures, possible winners for 2009 and the fact that South African Super Rugby teams have to deal with more severe Jetlag flying East all the time.
So, let's just for today, take a break from the property, politics and economics and chat about Super Rugby for a second. Super 14 teams have been released for round 1 and most guys can't wait, and most ladies can't wait to get out shopping with friends to take their minds off the lawn that's not being mowed for an entire Super 14 season. Hang in there ladies, there's plenty of time for lawn mowing after the final on may 30th!
Predicting the possible outcome and the log headers will be the topic for discussion mostly today. Everyone will try to predict the super 14 table and you should not be too far off the money for the Office pool if you go for this one, for the overall Super 14 table winners: 1 Sharks, 2 Crusaders, 3 Bulls, 4 Blues, 5 Brumbies, 6 Force, 7 Stormers, 8 Hurricanes, 9 Waratahs, 10 Lions, 11 Chiefs, 12 Cheetahs, 13 Highlanders, 14 Reds.
