Highlanders v Blues
Well this game is always a laugh from a neutral point of view. But hell I don’t like them jaffas so go the highlanders. Well its sounds good in theory but in reality the Blues

to win this relatively comfortably. Say by 7-10 points
Reds v Crusaders
I’m ignoring this game. Heart Reds by 3, head crusaders by 8-14.
Sharks v Cheetahs
This game is a case of let’s see who loses rather than who wins. The Sharks lost the mojo last year when they were taught a rugby lesson by the Reds (who then never rediscovered their ability to win). The Cheetahs well they um .arrgh. Look the Sharks

should win this by 8-10 points but they may pull a loss out of the bag.
Lions v Chiefs
Well lets see if Carlos can make it to half time before he is substituted. Lets face it you do not have to stay up for this game. Chiefs

to run riot and get 5 points this weekend.
Hurricanes v Force
Lets face it the force have most of their team on the injured list. If the Hurricanes

do not put at least 30 points on them they are a joke.
Bulls v Brumbies
This is the match up of the round. The Brumbies are running their big imports for the first time this year (Giteau & Elsom) but hell the Bulls are already looking the good this year. Bulls

by 7 or less. Might even be worth staying up for this one.
Stormers v Waratahs
It’s a very similar case to the Sharks and Cheetahs game but this time it’s more in line with who can fluke the win at the death. It should be a pretty good game as both teams are relatively balanced in terms of skills. It will be a mistake at the end for one side to snatch the win. Lets make it the Tahs

this week and the Stormers next week.
