    Haha. I haven't watched anywhere near as much of the Heartlands as normal as my series link recording didn't work, sadly. I've got a couple of the Mainfreight Rugby episodes, but missed most of the interesting games.

    Still, I have watched a lot of the ITM Cup, so no excuses there.

    You almost have the same tips as me (I tipped on CW). Likewise I am calling for an Auckland upset. Auckland are more of a 'team'.

    Rego to rage at that :ninja:
     
  6. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Absolutely raging at that. Wellington is tight. One of the best performing and exciting Wellington teams in a wee while. Like the Hurricanes now also. So much youth, potential, excitement absolutely love the prospect for rugby here for the next 5 years.

    However I'm gonna have to disagree with your "Auckland upset" whilst Wellingon have home advantage if Auckland win it is by no means an upset IMO. It really can go either way and should be a fucking epic game.

    Wellington going in with better form mind you (Auckland didn't play too well against Otago)

    We're gonna have to defend like fuck though. Something we failed to do against Auckland in the round robin. Also need ball. Wellington definitely can build up tries now - something they never really could do in the past.

    im just used to wellington teams "choking"

    More or less who I want to win (Naki) rather than who I think will.

    Bloke's a choker, I reckon. :ninja:

    Brumby extends his lead to 7 and has bonus points in his favour heading into the final round. I'm still looking good for the silver medal but bronze is wide open with Hurricane in particular rocketing up the table.

    if Buller wins I will be in a state of shock.
     
  17. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    South Canty shouldn't even be in the final after cheating their way through half the season.
     
  18. the_killerz S Bakkum

    Well done Buller! Cheaters should never win!

    Sorry the delay in final standings. Brumby ends up winning by a landslide but the rest of the podium spots were hotly contested with Rego taking third from Hurricane by bonus points and both falling just short of myself in silver. Thanks everyone that tipped to the end. :)

    Happy with mid-table. Didn't end up watching a full game all season
