Righto! Got those registration forms sorted out... so I guess it's time for me to do my weekly 'make a fool' of myself with my super 12 rugby tipping. I'm sure I'm not the only one struggling with tipping this Super 12 comp - there sure have been some surprising performances and results.

Okay here goes.

Highlanders over the Chiefs in Dunedin tonight. Maybe Byron Kelleher will get confused playing for the Chiefs at the House of Pain and inadvertently help out the Otago boys - I can almost hear the 'Byron, pass it here' calls now :))

Tomorrow I'm tipping the Brumbies over the Crusaders in Christchurch. Let's face it, that game can go either way but I'm sure if the Brumbies get in there fast and furiously and take it up to the Crusaders they just might pull off a win. Either that or they'll play like crap and get totally hammered!

Also tomorrow the Hurricanes over the Reds in Wellington. I hope I'm wrong - again, but Elton Flatley is back out - AGAIN after rupturing a tendon in his right thumb at training last night. *sigh*

On Sunday I'm tipping the Sharks over the Cats (can I tick that one off do you think?), and I reckon the Blues will get up over the Waratahs in Auckland on Sunday afternoon. King Carlos is back to lead his men, and given the Tahs form in the last few matches I can hardly tip otherwise. But, you never know. Again, if the Tahs take it right up to the Blues they stand a chance, but if they don't then they're duck meat.

Okay, that's it for my tips this week. Enjoy round 7 of Super 12 everyone :)
