Bulls vs Hurricanes - This one can go Bulls by 5 or Hurricanes by 5 (It depends on which Bulls team pitch on the day. I really hope the Bulls team that broke Saracens pitch this weekend)

Stormers vs Blues - Stormers by 9 (Blues didnt look that good in their last game and i think the Stormers have the basics right and a couple of powerfull youngsters that are eager to win with Lots of Power)

Sharks vs Lions - Sharks by 7 (Sharks had a fumble last week, but i think that was a wakeup call. maybe the Cheetah's were too good on the day. The lions had an okay'ish game last weekend, but just could not seal the deal)

Picks made.

I have some teams making a comeback and others building on their upset victories.

So I'll probably have another terrible weekend.

Cocaine scandal rocks Super Rugby

Super Rugby was reeling on Friday after a man widely identified as Reds star Karmichael Hunt was charged with supplying cocaine.

The charges follow an operation by Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission, which resulted in the arrest of four people on Thursday night.

One of them was New Zealand-born Hunt, who used to play rugby league for the Brisbane Broncos, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and other media reported.

He was charged with four counts of supplying the drug, it said.

"During an investigation focused on a cocaine trafficking syndicate operating in southeast Queensland, these four individuals were identified contacting the syndicate and arranging for the supply of cocaine," the commission alleged.

Investigators claim that the three men and one woman arranged for the supply of cocaine for personal use or to supply to friends and colleagues between June and December 2014.

Hunt, 28, was on Thursday named at fullback for the Reds in their match against the Western Force in Brisbane on Saturday night.

The team postponed their pre-match captain's press conference on Friday morning as reports of their vice-captain's arrest spread.

"The Australian Rugby Union and Queensland Rugby Union are aware of reports regarding Karmichael Hunt," the two governing bodies said in a joint statement.

"The ARU's integrity team and the Queensland Rugby Union are making enquiries into the reports. We'll be in a position to comment in more detail once those enquiries have progressed."

A former rugby league international and Broncos star, Hunt joined the Reds this season following a stint in the Australian Rules football league with the Gold Coast Suns.

The four are due to appear in court on March 5.

I quite like the new Superbru feature where you can still change picks before the game starts (unless you locked them in).

Made for scenarios like this.

Picked Brumbies to start with so not going to need to change it this time. But it will come in handy later I'm sure.

Like changing your pick from the Reds to the Western Force after the Reds skipped their Captain's Run after their fullback was arrested.

I'm wondering though if it will make the Reds play better since they will probably be angry.

Who looks the better team at the moment?

I can't watch the game we're having audits... But I can see the feeds on News24, they however don't paint a picture of what's going on actually.
