Super 15 2011

[Hurricane]

Chiefs vs Hurricanes
Brumbies vs Rebels
Crusaders vs Blues
Waratahs vs Highlanders
Force vs Reds
Lions vs Sharks
Stormers vs Bulls

I'll take the same picks as Ripper this week...only questionable pick for me is the Blues vs Crusaders...I think the Blues could easily win the game...but the Crusaders are at home so I predict that the ref will favour the home team if recent games are anything to judge by.

Honestly think that all the games could go either way this week. No real Bankers as the top teams are playing each other and the Lions, Rebels, Force, and Canes are capable of the upset. Tahs vs Highlanders to be the game of the round to not watch IMO

The Force's 6,7,8 is superb and Wykes and Sharpe have been very good this year in the row. Obvioulsy I'm cheering for the Reds to win but I expect it to be a score of something like 24-19 or some such. Gill v Pocock will be interesting, though it'll likely be Coridas to start.

Praying the Reds can finish well and end the season in first...Reds win with a BP and the Bulls do the Stormers and Saders beat the Blues...that's 1st place stiched up! Even before the Chiefs next week in NZ

Epic game at Ellis Park but that's the Sharks season over. Same old, same old.

Great call on the Bulls Game cobber.

They seem to have really turned things around.

 

[ripper868]

Bulls, Tahs and Crusaders seem to be coming good at the right end of the season. The Reds sadly are being crippled by Injuries again.

Here's hoping the Volcano continues spilling ash into the atmosphere until Sunday, the Reds can't travel to NZ and we call it a draw and take 2 weeks off

Week Eighteen Fixtures:
Blues vs Highlanders
Rebels vs Force
Chiefs vs Reds
Crusaders vs Hurricanes
Waratahs vs Brumbies
Bulls vs Sharks
Cheetahs vs Stormers

Lions have the bye.

So this is the final week of round robin. Past seasons with one semi-final and one final week, we've given 2 points and 3 points respectively for correct tips. With the additional play-off week, is it fair to give 2 points for correct tips for both of the semi-final weeks?

 

[Hurricane]

Blues vs Highlanders
Rebels vs Force (not sure about this one may revise my prediction later)

edit - sticking with western force reckon they will come up trumps in a keenly contested match


Yep 2 points for correct tips during both weeks I vote - but don't really mind either way.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Blues vs Highlanders - 0-0 draw Nah Blues
Rebels vs Force
Chiefs vs Reds - not sure it'll help as much as last week but hey
Crusaders vs Hurricanes - by ten tries
Waratahs vs Brumbies
Bulls vs Sharks - Mornee
Cheetahs vs Stormers

I vote 2 points for both semis.
