Super 14 Rugby round 3 tips

There's some curly ones to pick (again!) in Round 3. So here goes nothing.....

Round 3 Super 14 2006 Tips.

Tonight/Early tomorrow morning:

Hurricanes vs Cats
(in Wellington - Live on Fox at 5.30pm AEDT) The Canes will be without Conrad Smith who broke his leg against the Force, but Tana Umaga is expected to play tonight and I reckon the Canes will get up in front so I'm tipping them to win by 3.

Force vs Chiefs (in Perth - Live on Fox at 10.00pm AEDT) Well, this is one of the curly ones... the Force haven't performed anywhere near as well as I had hoped as yet, and the Chiefs haven't been going well either. I'm going to give my tip to the Force, hoping that the home ground advantage will work for them tonight, and I'll give it to them by a point.

Stormers vs Brumbies (in Cape Town - Live on Fox at 4.00am AEDT) I should have known better last week than to tip against my beloved Brumbies - maybe Stephen Larkham can spank me.. heh :) The Stormers only just went down last week to the Tahs, and the Brumbies haven't hit their best form yet, but I'm going to go for the Brumbies to win by 3.

Tomorrow/Early Sunday morning:

Crusaders vs Sharks
(in
Timaru - Live on Fox at 3.30pm AEDT) I don't think you'd find too many people backing the Sharks over the Crusaders. I'm going to go the Canterbury boys by 12. (and no I DON'T want to talk about their game against the Reds last Saturday!)

Reds vs Blues (in Brisbane - Live on Fox at 8.30 AEDT) You know, the Reds played a much much better game last week against the Crusaders than they did against the Tahs. Sure, they ran out of gas in the last 20 mins, but still, their performance was encouraging. So, I'm hoping that I'm going to see plenty of Kiwis crying tears in their beers at Suncorp tomorrow night and I'm going to tip the Reds to win by 2. (we're an optimistic lot us Queenslanders :)

Bulls vs Waratahs (in Pretoria - Live on Fox at 2.00am AEDT) Another curly one! This game could go either way I should think. Wendell of course won't be playing for the Tahs after his extra curricular performance last weekend. I suspect the Tahs will perform better without Wendell, so I'm going for the Tahs to win by 4.

Cheetahs vs Highlanders (in Bloemfontein - Live on Fox at 4.00am AEDT) I don't know which way this game will go. The Highlanders are away from home and have had a pile of injuries, and the Cheetahs had a good win over the Sharks last weekend. I'm going to tip the Highlanders by a point *gulp*.


So there you go! That's what I'm tipping. Have a great Rugby Weekend! Go Reds!
