Crusaders vs Sharks
I’m still laughing at all Sadders fans after last week. However, this week I’m expecting the Saders to bounce back lets face it with McCaw back on the bench they are a totally different side to the one that forgot to get out of neutral last weekend. I’m still stunned by the results but laughing helps. The Sharks are on my shit list and lets face it they imploded last year and have not found their solution yet. It’s likely to be another long season for Sharks supporters as until they break out of their self induced funk they are there for the taking. Crusaders

by 8-14.
Stormers vs Brumbies
This is one hell of a tough pick. The Stormers touched up the Tahs last week with solid aggressive defence. But they are without Burger this weekend. The Brumbies looked good in patches last weekend. I know I’ll use the get out of jail card I set up last week. That’s right I already said they would win last week so I’ll stick with that. Stormers

by 7 or less.
Hurricanes vs Lions
Hurricanes, 5 points

. It doesn’t need an explanation
Reds vs Blues
Well for me its the match of the round. I sort of don’t want to pick them to make sure they win. Nar Bugger it them jaffas are in for a tough night at the office. Back at Ballymore and against a side that has self belief. Thankyou, Link. Reds by 7-14.

Note, if they string 2 games together there will be hope that they can stay out last 4 in the table this year. But they haven’t done that since 2005/06?
Force vs Chiefs
Still too many injuries for the Force. Chiefs

by 8-14 as the Force at least have some idea about defence.
Cheetahs vs Highlanders
Should be a close and entertaining match but the Highlanders need to go 80m. As much as I like them I’m picking the Cheetahs

at home 7 or less though.
Bulls vs Waratahs
Bulls

by plenty lets say 15-21. Tahs had on their sooky face in last week’s loss and it’s only going to get worse. The Bulls are too big and too strong. Expect a Tah team explosion.
