Kynan - Boks by 12. Spies top TR scorer.
Andrew - Boks by less than 7. Sivivatu top TR Scorer.
Ahhh... sweet revenge. Andrew has been smashed, I'm 23 in the world, the Boks won by 9 (not 12... sorry) and Pierre Spies was top points scorer, by a long way.

Kynan - 3,055 points

(Self-Centred, Gloating) Test Rugby Thoughts
My Mealamu pick turned out to be a total bust - no points! What's the deal? This was a big mistake which I paid for in world ranking - pretty sure I could have been near the top 10 if I had kept Hore. (Though he was no Brendan Leonard - negative 15!) Kieren Read got a mediocre 90, but he was worth it, as I was able to afford Franscois Steyn, Matfield and De Villiers, who all scored big.
Despite 5 missed kicks, Pienaar's line breaks and try kept him ahead of the other SA halves. De Villiers handily beat out Fourie, but trailed Conrad Smith, who turned out to be the second best little points earner (who would have guessed...) Predictably, Matfield and Ross topped the locks catagory, proving once again that N0. 5 locks are the only ones worth owning. Test Rugby doesn't award points for brutal cleanouts (Sorry Bakkies and Thorn).
I await news on injuries to De Villiers and Pienaar before transferring them out. Remember, transfer as early as possible to preserve profits gained on injured players. Their price will drop like a stone as soon as the news breaks.
And in honor of my totally non-homosexual crush on Spies:
C'mon, I wanted another video with the wind blowing through his irresistible dark hair...
