just for the record, I swear I did not copy Ghost10’s predictions 😉
Great minds think alike rob!
and fools seldom differ 😉
Great minds or fools 🙂 we’ll find out soon!
I have a good feeling about my picks this week. They just feel right
i see no-one picked the chiefs to win against the canes, i fancy them to do it.
cab – for me, the fact that the Chiefs are down to their third-choice scrummie makes it unlikely they’ll do it
hmmm rob, i see you have done your research, yip no leonard, guess its a fair prediction played at canes homeground. the canes are like the Cats of a few years back absolutely superb on paper, but dont live up to it much.
Canes need that back row of theirs to pitch up… especially Jerry Collins. Once he shakes his WC hangover, watch out for the fireworks.
Actually hoping they stay shit this year… would be nice to pick up a win in Wellington.
reckon a few of the SA side picked up a win in wellington last year, really surprising, as you say Collins, Masoe, So ailo – should be fireworks.
Masoe… he’s a bastard, that one. Completely underrated.
Rodney can really go AWOL at time… doesn’t scare me too much. Big JC is the dangerman… him and that Lauaki FREAK
I got it
Chiefs by 9
Force by 5
Stormers by 3 (if you willing to gamble why not gamble big)
Brumbies by 7
Blues by 12
and Bulls (at home) by 6
and fools rush in where great minds fear to tread.
Stormers. Eish. Would be a fairytale result. Welcome to sharksworld, ashkaman
John Robbie You plonker.

Where is Nessa she helps comfort me if i am nervous about my picks. 😉 🙄
You have two wrong!
You think there will be 7 away wins? 😯
No! Tahs to win away and Brunches to win at home
From a log point of view i actually hope they both lose. ;wink:
Almost midnight for me.
See you in the morning.
Go Canes!!!!!!!!!!!
But ONLY by 5 please?
Canes by 5 will suit me.
Dont think any of you guys pick this up. Think this round 3 we can have history. The most away wins in S14 rugby. 🙄
