Round 5 Super 14 Rugby tips 2009

Yep, well thanks Moses over at Beer and Sport for pointing out that he picked 6/6 last week, that's only like twice as good as mine! hehe.. Let's see how this week pans out. No more mucking around :-)

Blues vs Cheetahs - Friday arvo
I am tipping the Blues on the basis that the Cheetahs are crap, the Blues are not, and the Kiwi boys are playing at home. Blues by 13

Brumbies vs Waratahs - Friday night
Al Baxter is out for the Tahs (I personally think this is a plus) and the Brumbies will be desperate to beat the Tahs. Still reeling over their loss to the Force two weeks ago and with Wallaby jerseys on the line I think the Brumbies will get up tonight. Should be a great game. Brumbies by a smidge.

Crusaders vs Force - Saturday arvo (2.30pm Brissie time kickoff
The Crusaders will be mighty cranky after their loss to the Highlanders last week, and I doubt that they will let the Force beat them this weekend - unless of course they've gone into Kiwi sulk mode :-) Crusaders by 4

Highlanders vs Chiefs - later Saturday arvo
I know that the Highlanders won last week, but the Chiefs are flying high. The game against the Crusaders was probably the highlight of the Highlanders 2009 season (ouch!) so I'm tipping the Chiefs... by 3

Reds vs Sharks - Saturday night
As much as I would love to tip the Reds, I can't bring myself to do it. I'm tipping the Sharks by 6

Stormers vs Lions - 1am Brissie time Sunday morning
I just can't see the Lions getting up over the Stormers, so I have to tip the Stormers... by 7

Have a great rugby weekend!
