Super 14 Rugby round 2 tips and predictions.
I've had a squiz at the games this weekend, so here I go for the first time this season. I'm sure I"ll make quite a fool of myself again... :)
Round 2 Super 14 2006 Tips.
Tonight:
Highlanders vs the Blues - in Dunedin (live on Foxsports at 5.30pm EST).
The Highlanders have been hit with injuries early in the season with Matt Saunders and Paul Williams ruled out for the season. The Blues have Angus Macdonald and Ben Atiga out for tonight's game. The Highlanders are usually good at the House of Pain, and the Blues lost last week to the Hurricanes. I think this match could go either way, but I'm going to tip the Highlanders by a point.
Tonight/Tomorrow morning.
Cats vs the Chiefs in Johannesburg (live on Foxsports at 2.55am EST). The Chiefs got beaten last weekend by the Sharks, but I think the Cats are pretty ordinary so I'm tipping the Chiefs by 6
Bulls v Brumbies in Pretoria (live on Foxsportst at 4.55am EST). I do like the Brumbies, but the Bulls have really started off the 2006 season on fire, and I suspect that those big forwards will take their toll on the Brumbies, and the backs will have to keep an eye on Bryan Habana - how quick is that guy? I'm tipping the Bulls by 2, but I hope the Brumbies get up and have a win to make Stephen Larkham's 100th game for the Brumbies a good one!
Tomorrow:
Hurricanes vs the Force in New Plymouth (live on Foxsports at 5.35.pm EST). The Western Force are still finding their feet, and I think that beating the Hurricanes in NZ is just too big an ask at this stage, particularly given the form of the Canes last weekend. I'm going for the Canes by 6.
Reds vs the Crusaders in Brisbane (live on Foxsports at 8.00pm EST). Er..... um..... geeez... I love going to the rugby but I think the carnage could be too much for me to take. I'm tipping the Crusaders by 12 (plus the rest).
Sharks vs the Cheetahs in Durban (live on Foxsports at 2.00am EST). I'm going to go for the Sharks by 5 (??)
Waratahs vs the Stormers in Cape Town (live on Foxsports at 4.00am EST). This is another one of those both way tips. Both of these teams won last weekend, and while I think the Tahs are a better team, it's hard to win in RSA. Still, I'm going to tip the Tahs by 3.
Well, that's it from me for a bit! I'll get the tipping prizes sorted asap.
In the meantime, have a fabulous weekend in rugby whether you're on the paddock, on the sideline, in the stands or in front of the telly :)
Cheers!
