Highlandres
Stormers
Saders
Tahs
Chiefs
Bulls

The Stormers game and the Sharks game are the only ones I am worried about. But this year's Super Rugby has dished up more shocking results so maybe I should worry more about the Rebels winning

In the Argus' headlines it says "Stormers must play smart to beat Reds", so unfortunately...

Made the same picks. Ditto about the two difficult games. And the surprises.

Is everyone going to post their picks beforehand when it becomes really tight at the end of the comp?

Haha, doubt it.

I think I I will stop doing it when the knock outs start

Bryce is having a blinder again.

Half-time: Highlanders 16 - 14 Blues

Penalty - One minute later and it's three more on the other side of the field. This is becoming tiresome. Two of the better running teams in the competition and Lawrence is simply not allowing the ball to come from any ruck.

... at least this clown is officiating a team other ours

From Supersport's live score thingy:

51 Penalty - Another ruck another penalty. Delany keeps his 100% record intact, but we were all hoping for some tries here, weren't we?

48 Penalty - One minute later and it's three more on the other side of the field. This is becoming tiresome. Two of the better running teams in the competition and Lawrence is simply not allowing the ball to come from any ruck.

46 Penalty - Three more for Delany and the see-saw continues. At least Bryce Lawrence is consitent.

44 Penalty - Manu is blown up for sealing off the ball as the Highlanders start an attack in their own half. Anscombe makes no mistake with the penalty.

Welcome to the "Brycie you are a star" show. I hope he fscks this game up as they voted him as ref of the year...... enjoy kiwis.

 

[Creag]

Ref of the year? Yikes!

Looks like the Blues may yet again cost me a point...and relief all GSP pressure for everyone.

 

[Ou grote]

He looked like he was going to whip out the yellow card at the coin toss because the coin went a bit skew.

Ref of the year? Yikes!

Why not? He Gifted them the World Cup by taking out the only team that could beat (and 10-1 would have) beaten the All Blacks.

So we all got that one.... just!

 

[Creag]

Full-time: Highlanders 30 - 27 Blues

 

[DJ...]

Phew. I really didn't think The Blues had it in them to take it to the final whistle. I was honestly expecting a bigger win by The Highlanders...

 

[Devill]

Respect for the Blues to not go for the draw.

I get margin and the win so I am happy

 

[Creag]

Half-time: Reds 3 - 17 Stormers

Stormers are looking good but messing up my MP

 

[undesign]

Had win + margin for first game in another pool and lost two places! :-(

 

[Creag]

Reds need to make a bit of a come back here

 

[sand_man]

Stormers making it difficult for themselves. This injury depleted reds team is cannon fodder yet stormers unable to put them away.

Set pieces pathetic and more naive tactical kicking.

That is not nice.

Reds need to make a bit of a come back here

Lol, was thinking the same and there we go 20 - 10... I need the reds to get within 9 points of the stormers
