TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2019

Done.

Look, I know we’ve all let you down.
We know your tipping is well, frankly, just too good for the lowly shit that the Sunjags have become since the fucking Japanese were allowed to join.
Nevertheless, without some of your special magic, we’re fucked before we begin.
So, how about a few tips? Just one more season before they no doubt cut us poor bastards again.

Good news that we're at 39 entries already and 40 is the minimum to run 8 teams. Hopefully we get to 48 and every team can dump a loser's score every week!
@KiwiPie That's looking promising. Hopefully there will be a decent number of others fronting up this afternoon once they have weighed up weather and track conditions and team lineups (although at this time of year the latter is a bit of a lottery!).
Good luck everyone. -

It is a Google form - nothing can go wrong ...
And yes you're both in - people who tipped early have gone Chiefs, people who waited until the teams came out have gone Highlanders - except me, I went Chiefs all day long. Highlanders leading 22-19 on picks so far, so there will be a split in the pack after game 1.
Looking at the teams that have been picked, it actually looks like all teams will scrape together 5 players. Hopefully it is 6 for all teams by kick-off time

I've got early season enthusiasm so here is the leaderboard - the 4 tippers who picked both results
@Smudge 20
@ACT-Crusader 20
Caprice 20
@sportboy 17Next best is 12 for a bundle of people. No team scores yet until I sort out all team squads. Putting out a final call to the missing tippers @justin77 @Pauncefote @No-Quarter @Waynes-World and Buck who are the only ones from last season not to return. There are people to take their places in their teams if they don't either tip or make contact before the end of the round.
Shout-out of course to those still on zero who have tipped. @gt12 take a bow!

@KiwiPie Sent Waynes World an e-mail about Thursday to remind him so maybe he has not been at work this week? Not sure about Buck, we have not crossed paths since just before Christmas so will put out an APB amongst mutual mates next week if no late tips come in this weekend.

Justin77 and Waynes World are in so they score the final 5 games.
Provisional best scoring so far - Sportboy the only one with 6/6 results but only 1 margin
Plastered Peni 44
DK 42
Richie 42
Sportboy 41
JK 40
Smudge 40Provisional team scoring - Canes Gold with 2 players to add, all other teams with at least 5 players
BOP Chiefs 34 - 21 Hurricanes Gold
Blues A 34 - 34 Hurricanes Black
Blues B 32 - 35 Barbarians
South Island 32 - 34 SunJags -
Everything is updated - https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ for the latest. A new tipping form for week 2 is also there. Duluth is sorting out the Squads link on there to reflect the squads - everyone is in a team except 3 of you and you will probably find yourself drafted at some point.
Scores for the weekend - some pretty good, some terrible.

Higgins pointed out an error in my spreadsheet - I wasn't throwing away the worst of the 6 entries and some teams had a really bad 6th entry. So I have updated the team scores and the ladder.

Doesn't seem to have improved my guesses. So much for hometown advantage.
