On Saturday afternoon in Dunedin the Highlanders got up over the Cats 29-17 scoring 4 tries and picking up a bonus point in the process. That's more like it!

The Canterbury Crusaders finally got their act together Saturday afternoon as well winning 26-15 at Waikato Stadium. Chiefs 15 Crusaders 36. At half time the Crusaders were down by 4 points, but came back to score 25 points in the second half and picking up a bonus point with the 4th try of the match scored by Aaron Mauger. Mauger had a good game, also scoring the first try for the Crusaders. Don't write off the Crusaders just yet people.

The Brumbies got up over the Stormers in Cape Town 33-15 - Yay! I should not have doubted them :) The win takes the Brumbies to the top of the Super 12 ladder - double Yay! Brumbie and Wallaby super flanker George Smith became the youngest Australian player in Super 12 history to make 50 appearances, and he's still just a youngster :)

As for my tipping 3/5 for Round 5, I'm improving :)

Six nations news - do we really care? The poms got up over Wales at Twickenham 31-21. The Irish got up over Italy 19-3 which means that they'll have to rack up a cricket score when they face Scotland this Saturday if they are to have any chance of winning the cup ahead of England or France. France is unbeaten as yet in the comp.


Later!
