Wouldn't be too glum; the spread's NZ by 71-75, so you're effectively tipping your boys.

Matchday 17 update, part 1:

New Zealand 85 Romania 8

Pup Clarke: NZ by 75 - 5
ohtani: NZ by 80 - 5
Stefano: NZ by 80 - 5
Brumby: NZ by 65 - 3
Jason: NZ by 90 - 3
Matteh: NZ by 90 - 3
PhoenixFire: NZ by 90 - 3
The Bunny: NZ by 90 - 3

headhunter: NZ by 60 - 1
Clapo: NZ by 100 - 1
Somerset: NZ by 102 - 1
Jamee: NZ by 35 - 1

5 point hauls for PC, oj & Stefano, with a further six of us notching 3s. TB's 3 mans he pulls away a bit more from Somers, who could only register 1 for the outcome. 3 for Norway means headhunter now firmly rooted to the basement & Jamee nervously looking over his shoulder.

Interestingly (well it's probably not interesting at all, but I'm here to talk about Rugby scores, so that's what I'll do), Nick Evans's late conversion not only cost PC a maximum, it also gave the 5 tipsters who went NZ by 90 an extra two points, bringing as it did their error margins into the 8-14 point range.

1) The Bunny 98
2) Somerset 92
3) Brumby 88
