Round 1 2009 Super 14 Tips

Good grief! The poor old Reds have problems already. BUT..... hopefully we'll improve this year (can't do much worse huh?)

Anyway, here's what I'm tipping for Round 1 this year.

Game 1 - Friday arvo: Highlanders vs Brumbies

Well, I know that it's hard for anyone to win at the House of Pain in Carisbrook, but I'm tipping the Brumbies to win this one. Sorry my southern Kiwi friends, I just don't think your team will get up.
Tip: Brumbies

Game 2 - Friday night: Western Force vs Blues
I think the Force are ready to rock and roll this year! Playing at Subiaco, the young guns ready to get in and prove their worth, I have to tip the Force
Tip: Force

Game 3 - Saturday morning (like 3 am here in Brissie): Lions vs Cheetahs. Who cares?
Tip: Lions

Game 4 - Saturday arvo: Crusaders vs Chiefs
Geez.... who do you reckon I'd tip?
Tip: Crusaders

Game 5 - Saturday later in the arvo: Canes vs the Tahs
I'd love to tip the Tahs, but I just can't. I think the Canes will whip their butts.
Tip: Hurricanes

Game 6 - Sunday morning (1am Brisbane time) - Stormers vs Sharks
I'm going to tip the Stormers - because they're at home.
Tip: Stormers

Game 7 - Sunday morning - Bulls vs Reds
These guys are SO insensitive to my needs... 3.10 kick off my time. Ack! Well, one good thing about a kick off at that hour is that if we win I can ask everyone if they thought it was a great game, and if the Reds lose I can say I didn't bother staying up to watch it :) Don't pretend you don't do the same thing! My heart wants to tip the Reds, but my head says the Bulls will win this game.
Tip: Bulls

Let's hope the rugby is great, the bushfires stay away, and the flood waters continue to ease.

Have a great weekend ;)
