Handling errors and lineouts cost the Highlanders dearly.

Should have given Popoali'i or Gear the ball at every opportunity. Only two guys that really tried.

Well done Reds. Took every chance they got and turned it into points

I wonder if anyone has built a statistical model to analyse rugby predictions.

Would been fascinating... :D

I have one, but do not always pick accordingly… Due to system changes, these stats cannot adapt at all times. The Super Rugby model change frequently.

Jip. The highlanders can not get over 5 phases before they fsck it up. BASICS are not being done right.

Nice! It's not going to last though. My crystal ball says I will finish first in the MyBroadband pool. Just had to slow down a bit to make sure people catch up. :p

Past experience indicates that there be a wee bit of truth in that statement :D
 
"If you can't get motivated to play the current champions who are in our neighbourhood then get out of the game," Kirwan said.

"This is why we play the game. The Chiefs, our neighbours, down there, they're champions, we need to win – it doesn't get any better than that."

Best to all picking the champions tomorrow... ;)
 
Kings doing bloody well.

29-23 with 15min to go. They can still win this.

Forcing Canes to make mistakes with some solid defence. And scored two good tries.
 
Wheels coming off a bit towards the end now.

46-23 with 5 to go

EDIT: Oi! Kings score another try. 46-30
 
Kings did much better than expected. The Hurricanes made some real silly mistakes though.
 
Bad news is that Hadleigh Parkes has broken his arm in 3 places and will be returning home.

Not sure if home means PE or Manawatu? :p
 
Bad decision by the refs… dangerous play? So you have to avoid a player moving forward in air? I have not seen anyone going for a tackle.
 
Blues is losing, they lack experience. The tactics won’t break the champions line… May luck give them the game…
 
Gees tough card for Mellet. Don't think I've ever seen a prop binned for continuously collapsing the scrum. That effectively hands the Brumbies the game. Pity cause the Bulls really got themselves back into the contest.

Does that open up a overseas player slot?
