Alrighty - it's that time of the week. Actually, I'm a day early with tips this week, but I've been doing so poorly with my tipping that I think maybe I should change the whole concept to 'the weekly death knells' :) Anyway, here goes!

The Reds and Blues have byes!

Friday night:
The Hurricanes over the Sharks in New Plymouth

Saturday:
The Bulls over the Waratahs in Pretoria (sorry Tah's)
The Highlanders over the Cats in Dunedin - here's hoping the Highlanders play both halves this weekend!
The Crusaders over the Chiefs in Hamilton - I reckon it's about time the Crusaders get going
The Stormers over the Brumbies in Cape Town - my beloved Brumbies... I apologise but the Stormers are going well!

Wonder if I'll do better than 2 correct picks this week!
