The Force to win at the 'Brook, Cloete? No. Just no - regardless of how many injuries the Highlanders have.

They all seem so cut and dried I'm almost tempted to go for an upset to make it interesting. But I'm a coward so I won't.

He would take the minor premiership for sure, but the playoffs will be worth more points so you never know.

Um I think we are in round 9? Or 10? So there are still 5 or so weeks to go.. probably 35 matches to go in the season or something like that.

actually i mainly just tip the home team and sometimes i see a bit of the friday night matches, but dont watch them very closely...

Simon's gamble looked like it was going to come off there for a minute.

This makes things interesting though, his lead as his lead is cut down to 2.

I question The 'Tahs' gameplan. They play a boring brand of rugby. They don't back themselves, instead they kick to touch every time they get the ball. Why not use Sailor and Tuqiri more?

I understand that it is very effective, as it limits the oppositions opportunites, but they will never score tries against good teams like the Crusaders with their current plans.

 

[Simon]

thats what annoys me when people say Sailor has been a flop in union, its hard to make an impact when you never get the ball!
still i would have prefered if he never left the broncos...

Sailor doesn't go looking for it though unlike Tuquri. He has looked a better player since joining NSW but certainly he has been nowhere near as effective as he was playing league.

a tie, did not expect that.

Right 34 games left until the play-offs. It is still anyones game, and we could see some movement in the table this week with two or three close ones being played.

14 Apr, 19:35 Blues v Force Eden Park, Auckland
15 Apr, 17:30 Crusaders v Cheetahs Jade Stadium, Christchurch
15 Apr, 19:35 Chiefs v Stormers Bay Park, Tauranga
15 Apr, 19:40 Reds v Bulls Ballymore, Brisbane
15 Apr, 17:00 Cats v Sharks Ellis Park, Johannesburg
16 Apr, 14:35 Highlanders v Hurricanes Carisbrook, Dunedin
16 Apr, 19:40 Waratahs v Brumbies Aussie Stadium, Sydney

Personally I think that the Reds v Bulls game is the hardest to tip so I have given that game MOTR status. The other games in contention were Highlanders Canes and Waratahs Brumbies, but I figured that most people will just go Canes, Tahs in those two.
