TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2019
-
As predicted, it was tipping carnage out there - only 5 games to score on, nobody at all picked the Jaguares to win, only 2 were on the Bulls so nearly all points were scored for the next 3 games. Leading the lowest scores (and I can't remember a lower score for someone who tipped all games) were Virgil and Broughie with only 2 points. Plenty only had 1 result correct and nobody reached 30 points.
GT12 the only one to get 4 results correct this week but Corkscrew topped scoring with 29 points, through picking the Crusaders as closest game.
All of the top 4 won so the semi-finalists are decided - BOP Chiefs won their first minor premiership and will play Blues B while the Barbarians will play the SunJags.
No real change at the top except for DK falling out of the top 3, Hydro11 still leads by 4 from Dolamite so all still to play for.
In the Sequel Cup, Hydro11 will play Donsteppa in one semi while Triple T or Higgins will play Mikedogz in the other.
Everything is up to date at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and next week's form is ready for tipping.

@taniwharugby What he said - still 3 more rounds including this one.

As we're in playoff mode, a progress update after 2 games. This weekend is already better than last weekend for quite a few people although getting the 2 margins correct was tricky.
Play-offs BOP Chiefs 16 - 15 Blues B
Barbarians 18 - 17 SunJagsPlate Blues A 16 - 14 South Island
Hurricanes Black 14 - 12 Hurricanes GoldWith a maximum score of 20 are Unite, Langakali and Higgins.
Sequel Cup semi-finals
Hydro11 12 v 17 Donsteppa
Higgins 20 v 17 Mikedogz -
Scores are in and everything is up to date in the usual place.
Mikedogz gets best score of the weekend with 66, 7 correct results and both category picks as well. He helped the BOP Chiefs to easily dispose of Blues B and reach the final - to try to win their first ever title after losing 3 previous finals. The SunJags put away the favoured Barbarians to reach their first ever final - so there will be a new winner on the trophy.
Overall Mikedogz shot up to 2nd spot, just 2 points behind Hydro11 - this despite missing a week and also scoring 8 in Week 10. Corkscrew also scored well to move level in 3rd with Dolamite and 9 off the lead. Gunner is just 4 back and with 2 weeks to go, one of these 5 should be champion with only DK an outside bet at 22 off the lead.
In the Sequel Cup, it is Donsteppa v Mikedogz in the final over 2 legs.

Yes up to date. You're on 60 results and 21 margins.
-
@KiwiPie damn, higher than I expected, although does that include when I get the margin right, but the result wrong?
e.g Blues v Crusaders
I pick Blues 1-8 (I know, as if I'd be that stupid)
But Crusaders win 1-8. -
@taniwharugby A margin means you scored 10 points - correct winner and correct margin.
-
Late reminder - just over an hour to get tips in.

sweet, 1st equal after game 1!

Everything is up to date and next week's form is live. More later.

Just one more week of tipping and then it is a break for all of us until the NPC kicks off on August 8. And checking the fixtures it is a beautiful 10 weeks of 7 games per week - no stupid double up weeks and no stupid Wednesday games.
A tough week with nobody at all picking the Chiefs and only 5 of 44 getting the Waratahs. Tipping slightly favoured the Canes but plenty picked the Sharks. FarNthHayden and Waynes World were the only ones with 5/6, FNH the only 40+ score with 44, Triple T with 39.
In the final, the SunJags take the lead after the first leg 33-28. A full turnout for them so Richie's poor 19 was discarded and GT12 & Chimoaus scored 37 backed by Bruce Kenyon's 36. For the BOP Chiefs, I was the only one to stand up under the spotlight of a final with 36 and Unite's 19 meant Sportboy's 20 had to be counted.
Elsewhere the Barbarians take a lead of 9 and look to have 3rd spot sewn up with Canes Black leading by 6 for 5th and Canes Gold by 2 for 7th.
A good week for Hydro11 as he extended his lead to 14. Mikedogz & Corkscrew share 2nd with Dolamite just 3 behind. Triple T is 5th but 26 off the lead will mean he'll need something extraordinary. Gunner crashed out of the race with just 19.
In the Cup, Donsteppa took a 7 point lead in the all BOP Chiefs battle with Mikedogz.
Finally the new rule for your score if you fail to tip (@Crucial and @Bones are AWOL) is that you score 5 lower than Virgil who is setting new standards in low scoring in recent weeks.
