Highlanders v Bulls - I'm leaning towards Bulls when thinking with the top two inches, the Highlanders to me look a team who not can't win, but worse, don't know how to win. The way they bombed that game in Invercargill was quite inexcusable. But, I'll put my proud K1W1 heart to the test again and pick the Highlanders. Everyteam will win something, the Highlanders best hopes are to the Yarpie sides and the Reds at home. Highlanders.
Brumbies v Stormers - Brumbie Bees
Sharks v Hurricanes - Hurricanes... cha cha cha... Hurricanes. Remember the ad in the mid 90's for 'em? Go Hurricanes!
Crusaders v Reds - 40 point drubbing. Reds no hope. Crusaders. I was actually quite impressed by one of the Crusaders youngsters, O'Neill. Think he has All Black written all over him. Crusaders.
Chiefs v Blues - Again, like the Highlanders, the Blues almost looked like they didn't know how to finish things off. So many opportunities in the first 40, before finally Carlos Spencer stood up to be counted and win the game for the Blues. I have to say though, Ali Williams is going alright, but I like the other lock, Rawlinson. Looks a tough buggar. Blues for mine, but Slammin Sammy Tuitupou can't pull off another performance like he did last week or he'll be made to pay. Blues.
Cats v Mat Rogertahs - Rogertahs to win. Having a terrific tournament I must admit. Could actually for once be the real deals, not just the paper champs so proclaimed in the Herald. Rogertahs.
