How the quarters should look:

Right so as you can see, Wednesdays game against the cobras will determine who finishes in position 1 of the top 8. Top 8 for those who don't know: " the top 2 sides from each pool go through to the top 8, where their points will determine their position". So in pool A Ubumbo and Nadoes go through with 14 & 11 points, respectively. With whoever wins between US and Cobras, taking position 1 ahead of Umbumbo (PD will trounce if no bonus point is won, i.e: 4 points for the win) gives position 1 an easier game (1 plays 8). So Wednesday is a must win.

Barbarians will play Kopano, which if Kopano Upsets will see both sides entering the top 8 with limited points. Provided of course that Marquad does not trounce Ikaya and and kopano win, in which case it could be kopano and Marquad coming through.

Pool D is closely contested, with easterns playing panthers, the chance of an upset is a possibilty, and turtles should drill spanners. So if easterns beat panthers (with a bonus point or by more than 29) then we could see Easterns and Turtles coming through, with turtles top of their log.

So all in all here's My prediction for the top 8 (points in brackets):
1 Wildboys (14)
2 Ubumbo (14)
3 Barbarians (13)
4 Panthers (13)
5 Cobras (11)
6 Nadoes (11)
7 Turtles (10)
8 Marquad (7)

This is provided of course that we win. However if we lose then position 5 should belong to us. However as losing is not our style, win we shall, and it'll be great!

Just a short comparison on our Wednesday opponents:
This Season
Cobras: 5 wins - 1 draw
Us: 5 wins - 1 loss

Including last season
Cobras: 11 wins - 2 draws - 1 loss (To the Nadoes 35 - 0)
Us: 14 wins - 1 loss

Things look set to be Cracker!!
Hope to see you all there!

Fire!
