Bloody Waratahs need a convincing win asap or else Hickey will be out of a job quick smart - the poisoned chalice of the NSW coaching job seems to be doing its thing again.

I think thats a bit harsh - beating the Bulls in Pretoria has proven to be an almost impossible task in the last few seasons, and they also lost to a powerful Stormers side in Cape Town which most were tipping. Admittedly their victory over the Reds in week one was scrappy, but with all their matches in South Africa already out of the way and IMO a talented squad I wouldn't write them off just yet.

Watched a bit of the Hurricanes match last night and whilst my analytical ability might've been blurred by a few sherberts, they looked bloody dreadful in the time I was watching

Must be a really frustrating team to support

Pretty poor weekend for New Zealand teams overall actually with only the Crusaders winning. I didn't see either game in South Africa this round so can't really comment on the Hurricanes' loss but they did field somewhat of a weakened team, while the Cheetahs appear to have a much improved side this year.

Can they start winning when I tip them please? Annoying squad...

Heath didn't pick so like I did in the Air New Zealand Cup for those who missed their tips I gave him the home teams. Let me know if you want that rule scrapped but I guess it keeps people interested and continuing to tip in the competition.

Vimes, Brumby and Heath still to tip - first game kicks off in two hours. Like last week for the matches not tipped I'll automatically award you the home team.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Good thing is I would have tipped all home teams anyway then. Will still lose points I see.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wasn't deliberately sulking. Remembered about two this arvo.
