Super 15 2011

Bit late starting the topic but its snuck up considering the first match of the competition's scheduled before the Cricket World Cup even starts. Hopefully theres enough members that are keen to enter the tipping competition we usually run.

Week One Fixtures:
Hurricanes vs Highlanders
Rebels vs Waratahs
Blues vs Crusaders
Brumbies vs Chiefs
Sharks vs Cheetahs
Lions vs Bulls
Reds vs Force

Usual rules, one point per correct tip, if you don't tip you'll get the home team by default.

Brumbies Chiefs and Blues Saders the only two games you need to think about a little before tipping, the rest pick themselves IMO - though wouldlove to see the rebels put one over the tahs

reds

EDIT:the Reds brought up the Reds membership ad...

Have literally taken no notice of the build up to this year's comp as the Sydney papers are full of the usual "Waratahs are favourites" or "Matt Guiteau blah, blah blah"

So I guess it's time to dust off the dart board and wash the trusted blindfold

First match is tomorrow night at 7.30pm NZT, so that leaves you with a bit over 24 hours to get your first round tips in.

I'm in enough tipping comps this year, and this is the first one I'll forget about, so I'm out, sorry.

I wouldn't bet on them making the final but I'd be extremely surprised if they missed the top six. They've lost Daniel Braid to the Blues so I'm not sure about their depth in the loose forwards but otherwise they look pretty strong. Having Horwill back should be a huge boost too.
