TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2019

All the scores are updated now - start at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and work through the different pages and you can also tip for next week.

2 forgot to tip for last weekend @Nevorian and @mikedogz who bizarrely had the 2 highest scores the week before.

It was a tough weekend for all. 54% picked the Highlanders, 100% for the Chiefs, 98% and 92% for Lions and Sharks and 47% for the Blues. So if you picked 4 results out of 7 you did pretty well and Laurence was the only tipper to get 5, one of the few who went for the Stormers.

At the other end of the scale, just 1 tipped result for GT12, Broughie and Waynes World. GT12 and Waynes World picked late and so missed out on the Hurricanes points - Broughie picked the Reds to beat the Crusaders.

Plastered Peni the only player to limp past 40 points - and he needed the 5 points from the Hurricanes being top scorers. He also moved into the lead overall as DK crashed and is now 2nd. Laurence & Higgins are 3rd and 4th with Paj and Hurrycanes sharing 5th spot.

In the team comp, Blues B won their 3rd game to retain their 100% record. 30+ from Gunner, Dogmeat & Caprice (and Broughie's week low of 9 could be discarded) were enough to take down South Island where Corkscrew and Smudge's respectable 37 & 34 were dragged down by all the other four players scoring less than 20.

Blues A move into 2nd, easing past the SunJags thanks to Tim with 35 and consistency from the rest - Chimoaus scored 37 for the SunJags but GT12's disaster meant Barbarian's poor 18 had to be counted.

Canes Gold and Black fought out a draw. For Gold, Plastered Peni with 42 should have been enough but Antipodean's 16 had to be included due to Nevorian's absence. Canes Black had 39, 37, 37 from Hydro11, Paj, Hurrycanes but 17 from Bones was discarded and so 19 from Cactus Jack had to be included.

Finally the Barbarians had their first win of the season. Higgins, Langakali, Victor with 30+ and Waynes World's 11 thrown away. BOP Chiefs could only muster Donsteppa's 29 as their best and with Mikedogz away, Hooroo did turn up this week but scored only 12.
