Bloody hell thats a thrashing and a half. Haven't seen those sorta scores in a  few years.

Whose actively watching/following the ITM Cup this year?

DH. I'm only watching Southland's shield games.

But I'm also trying to play Virtual Rugby - it's proving to be quite difficult again.. not a lot between these teams when you take out the very best players. But the scores are all over the place as the teams run hot and cold from week to week.

Gwynn would have a hell of a time trying to run his Rugby matrix over this 


I wish Rugbycomp was still running. I always liked it better than VR.

That makes sense. It must be quite exciting having the shield for the suede munchers! Every now & then on the news you see some plonker holding the shield while on the shield parade - he looks like someone whom you deny knowledge of when talking to outsiders!

Everytime I turn on the tele & see a game, I find it really hard to watch. It feels like there are like 12 spectators at the ground, with the commentators trying manfully to talk the action up.

Southland are the exception!

I am having a hell of a time - completely forgot to do any calculations for the second week, and this third week... well...

David Howell as Dan Carter's backup anyone?

And Sportsbet isn't offering multi's across the ITM Cup each round!

[Gwynn]

And as evidence of that, of the two weeks I've done picks for (after missing week 2 due to brother's wedding preperations) the RugbyMatrix stands at...

Picked correct winner: 57.14%
Picked correct winner and margin: 14.29%

Not a good result at all given it has been looking around 70/80% and 40/50% respectively previously
