Either Queensland needs to stop having public holidays so that we have long weekends, or I need to stop indulging myself!

What a Super 12 weekend. My tipping was pretty crook - 50%. On Friday night the Crusaders annihilated the Sharks 77-34 in Christchurch running in 11 tries. Show offs! Also on Friday night, the Reds were lucky to snake a win 21-15 over the Cats in Brisbane. I must say I was very pleased to see Wendell go over for a try!

The Bulls vs Blues game was a see-sawing affair, with the Bulls finally triumphant 38-24 to give the Bulls their fourth win in a row!

The Waratahs over in Dunedin did the seemingly improbable by whipping the Highlanders 41-20 at the House of Pain to book themselves a semi-final berth. I really did not rate the Tahs to win in Dunedin, I just didn't think they had the ticker to emerge the winners - shows what I know huh? A good win for Ewen McKenzie's boys!

The Canes were clinical and smart in their victory over the Brumbies 49-37. I'd tipped the Hurricanes, but it sure felt very odd barracking for them to beat the Brumbies! Umaga's boys didn't need any help from me though, they played a great second half to down the reigning title holders. I hope the Brumbies have a good long look at that Super 12 trophy while they still can.

The Chiefs held out the Stormers to post a narrow 37-34 win over the SA side in a game that was quite evenly matched. The Chiefs really have been patchy this season.

So that was it... a really mixed bag of games and results for Round 10. The Tahs remain on top of the ladder, just by one point. The Crusaders, Hurricanes and Highlanders all following closely.
