Lords Super 12 Rugby Prediction Comp!!

[Tim]

lol anything but a Crusaders v Waratahs final would be a disaster I think. The Crusaders & Waratahs have clearly been the 2 best sides this season.
I think they should quite rightly be contesting the final.

The Bulls have played very well at home, but they weren't anything more than average away from home and I think they'll go down by at least 10 points against the Waratahs.
The Crusaders just need to tighten up their lineouts & control the ball a bit better & they should have a repeat of last weekend.

 

[Simon]

should

doesnt mean it will happen

 

[Tim]

Can't see the Crusaders losing, but if the Waratahs play like last weekend then the Bulls could spring a surprise..unlikely though.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

I think the Bulls might suprise.

 

[Somerset]

my semis tips, they probably suck

Hurricanes
Bulls

Very interesting selections, certainly going against the trend...

For me, the Crusaders and Waratahs are my choices - Crusaders by 7-12 and the Waratahs to run away with the game in the later stages of the match, 13+ points victory.

Can't see myself beating Biased Indian now, after last night's result !!
Canes losing to the Crusaders!!
*resigned to finishing behind Biased Indian*

 

[Tim]

If the Waratahs or Bulls go to Christchurch next week and win then they will definately deserve to because on last nights performance Canterbury must surely win the Super 12 now.

Agree ! Can't see the mighty Crusaders getting beaten by either of those Teams next week.

 

[shaka]

I am really hoping Bulls can make the finals

 

[JASON]

OK I have decided to take one last shot at beating the biased Indian at the finish line !!

I hope he doesn't copy my prediction and goes with the likely majority of predictors.

My prediction -

Waratahs to beat Crusaders !!

My last gamble to gain the lead over Biased Indian !!

BTW is it 5 points for the finals . May I suggest we give 10 points for the final prediction !

 

[shaka]

Crusaders will smash Waratahs imo

 

[BoyBrumby]

Crusaders will smash Waratahs imo

Yeah, I'd struggle to see any other outcome. Can't really think of any area where The 'Tahs are superior. Lineout, maybe at a push?

Crusaders by 20.

 

[Simon]

i predict a draw after 80 minutes....
can i have 20 points if it is?

 

[Somerset]

I might as well go with the Crusaders, there's my selection.

BTW, any results from the semis Lord?

 

[biased indian]

when is the finals???

 

[Smudge]

when is the finals???

Saturday night, 7.30pm NZ Time.

 

[biased indian]

Waratahs to be beaten by Crusaders

 

[JASON]

Waratahs to be beaten by Crusaders

I am glad you have predicted differently. That gives me one last chance to overtake you at the post . ( * given that the final prediction is worth a whopping 10 points* )

 

[JASON]

I salute the Biased Indian for his superior knowledge and his ability to predict Super 12 Rugby outcomes !!

Waratahs beaten 25-35 by the Crusaders !! 5th Super 12 title for Crusaders.

Good attempt at come back by Tahs, but too many mistakes early on cost them .

Phil Waugh, Dan Vickerman, Morgan Turanui , Lachlan Mackay outstanding for Tahs.

For the Crusaders, lot of outstanding players, but McCaw as usual, Aaron Mauger, Rico Gear (he missed one try close to the line by a tackle, but scored the Crusaders first try!!)were the most outstanding IMHO.

Three Cheers to the Crusaders !!

Now keep that Super 12 trophy tidy until my precious Brumbies win it back next year !!

I finally decided the competition ends after the round games.. so Somersets the winner and another fellow kiwi lord comes in 2nd place.. 3rd plays goes to the know nothing about super 12 guy Simon..
