thanks cnc, the forum could do with a few more starting threads,i actually got a pm the other night asking me to start the next days racing thread

Bob was waiting to see if CnC would say anything nice about the Bulls first. <

Highlanders / Bulls. Should be a close game but I recon with home ground advantage I would say the Landers will edge it in the zoo. For the Landers a lot depends on the performance of the two Smith's.

Reds / Brumbies. Should be a massive arm wrestle and the Reds have beaten the Brumbies already this season, although early season but I will be going for the home side again here.

Chiefs / Rebels. Even though the Chiefs have travelled back from SA they should record and easy victory as the Rebels are usually bad travellers.

Force / Waratahs. Very interesting game, Force like the Lions have surprised this season and like the Lions last week, when will their bubble burst? The Force are in form and against a team battling with injuries, but welcome back Folau, could get the upset win. Going with the Force to keep the home side's run going.

Cheetahs / Crusaders. Difficult game to call as both sides seem inconsistent and neither playing their best rugby. Both teams played much better last weekend. I recon the Saders who will be looking to move closer to a top 6 will sneak this game.

Lions / Sharks. Easiest game of the weekend for me. A fresh Sharks team playing against a team that looked like the old Lions last weekend. Sharks have the momentum going into this match and with 3 matches left before they tour will be looking at securing 3 wins. Sharks to win comfortably.

Enjoy the Rugby. (tu)

My rugby tips are worse than my racing tips, so for those still interested, read on ...............

Highlanders / Bulls - Could go either way; Bulls are missing Stegmann again, so they might struggle to secure the ball in broken play, and that's where the Highlanders could hurt them; I'm going with the Highlanders, but not by much

Reds / Brumbies - Brumbies for me has been better overall, but home ground advantage may count for something; I'm going with the Brumbies by around 7

Chiefs / Rebels - I agree it will be a high scoring game; the Rebels have been known to produce the odd upset, but I think the Chiefs (even after a return flight) will be too classy - I'd say by around 11 points

Force / Warrathas - Force has been punching above their weight and at home I think they might pip the 'Thas, who also had to travel back to Aus; Force by 4

Cheetahs / Crusaders - Cheetahs still need to improve their defense, but to me the Crusaders has not been great (even against the Lions last week I thought everything just went their way), so I'm going with the home team, but it will be close

Lions / Sharks - Lions were woeful last week, but I'm hoping they can get back to playing at the level they were before; if they can do that, I think at worst they can run the Sharks close or even beat them; I'm going with my gut and predict a narrow win for the Lions

From where I'm sitting on the Superbru log, it's best to keep quiet.

My superbru. Highlanders by 7,Brumbiesn by 3, Chiefs by 17, Waratahs by 7, Crusaders by 7 and Sharks by 11.

The Bulls must be on a dare in order to wear those tops for a 2nd week running. Maybe their excuse is that the Highlanders were blue so they cant and its the refs turn to look like little girls with their pink tops so they cant wear their pink either.

poor tackling by the bulls...
