Hehe, fair point.JASON said:You are better off following our table leader !!
That's a good effort considering you've been absent for most of the competition, keep the predictions coming and see if you can gain a few more places!JASON said:Hey I finally get off the bottom, only to find you have deprived me of that pleasure !

I am very annoyed by the way the Damned Brumbies are playing ATM.
They lost to the bloody 'Tahs' yesterday !! Bloody Ridecki Samo is playing like a "GERIATRIC " !! Damned unlucky to have Mark Gerrard injured the way he did (by a Waratah's kick bouncing off his face injuring his left eye) and Georgie Gregan got injured after a collision with Chris Whittaker . The two guys were injured for last 15minutes of yesterday's game. This on top of already missing Stephen Larkham and Clyde Rathbone !!
Also correct me if I am wrong, but John Tawake seems like the Fattest Guy ever to play as number 8 AFAIK !!
Not looking good for the Brumbies !! And AFAI can remember this is the first time in a long time (or may be never ) the Brumbies have lost 4 in a row.
From second on the Table they have now dropped to 6th behind the Blues.
IMO Waratahs assured of Home Semi (with 31 points already in the bag and on top of the table) with possibly the Canes !!
Highlanders and Crusaders will probably make the top 4.
Blues have an outside chance of making top 4 if the Crusaders wobble (seems unlikely).

Well that was a very intiguing game last night, IMO the Waratahs deserved to win and rightly did (disregarding the fact that I predicted them to win, for anyone wondering). Should've been by more but Rogers kicked terribly and while Giteau kept the Brumbies close for as long as possible, to be completely honest they lacked their usual persistence which they needed to win against the other Australian franchise. Gregan and Gerrard suffered unfortunate injuries, and I tend to agree that they could've made a difference for the Bumbies with players tiring in the final stages.
The top half of the table for anyone wondering:
1. Waratahs, 8 matches, 31 points
2. Crusaders, 7 matches, 25 points
3. Hurricanes, 7 matches, 25 points
4. Highlanders, 7 matches, 23 points
5. Blues, 7 matches, 21 points
6. Brumbies, 8 matches, 20 points
I feel that the Waratahs and Crusaders are definitely safe, while if the Hurricanes beat the Highlanders next week, they'll also be guaranteed a spot. The Blues still have to play the Waratahs and they also have two in South Africa - not an easy task but if they get through that with at least two victories, they should have enough to pass the Highlanders who also have a difficult run towards leading up to the semi-finals.

Okay, they've got the bye before heading to Dunedin, and they then face the Reds and the Blues. I'd back them to beat the Reds even with this embarrassing record they have against them and they should also be too strong for the Highlanders. At this stage, if they win that match they will be definite semi-finalists, maybe I was wrong in making that call so soon but at least I'm making my predictions clear.Blaze said:
