I was more upset about the stupid fucking liquor licensing laws around a religious holiday
Totally anachronistic to be sure. There seemed to be way more cafe's open up here than previously. A majority I would say.
My local had a sign up that you were asked to read aloud - "I am here for the express purpose of dining".
Once you read it you were asked if you would like a drink while you decided what you would like to eat - and to take as long as you liked deciding.

Nice.
The different behaviour around the 'Naki was notable.
Whangamomona - yeah, we're just doing hot chips - so buy some chips, have a beer. And upon going back to the bar for a 2nd, they hesitated, and I explained I was still "making my way through my meal".
Shining Peak Brewery - yeah, you need to have a meal, and not just "chips"... also - you must order food now, before I can get you a beer. But as a regular - chicken-bites will do. Also - offered to sneak a free takeaway can into my pocket upon leaving.
43 Brewing - got there just as kitchen closed, but again... a regular, so... we'll do you some hot chips, and that'll be enough. -

@Kruse You a regular at 43 Brewing in Stratford? Where I get all rugby watching beers from, one of the good places for a beer!
Yeah - I don't know how I started getting considered a regular.
I'd stop in every time I was passing through, in their old premises - travelling through to visit family in NP. Maybe 4 times in total, over a couple years?
Then nearly a year later, first time I get to visit the new location - and the bar manager recognises me, and greets me like a regular.
And for the last two summers or so - I've spent a heap of time up here... looking after the grandfather - and will typically drop in at 43 on the way back from a ride out to Whanga. They now automatically start a tab when I walk in. -

The Cup final is between Winger and Dolamite.
How were the points calculated for the semi?
I got more than my score for the week. I thinkKudos to Winger for his honesty as he has just removed himself from the final of the Cup - I was linking to the wrong column on my spreadsheet and the final is actually between the other 2 players - Laurence and Langakali.

I think you’ve added some of my missing points to Winger’s….

You've just destroyed my only chance of doing OK this round.
Every game is a coin toss for me

Results are up at https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Dan54 with the season best's score of 70.5, almost perfect except for missing the margin for the Waratahs game and having Waratahs as top scorers rather than Brumbies. Langakali 62 and all 4 category picks correct. At the other end of the scale, a season low of 7.5 for Corkscrew which meant that all non-tippers scored just 2.5.
Higgins increased his lead to 31 with Bartman and Winger in joint 2nd. Donsteppa and Crucial move into the top 10.
Langakali wins the Cup, Laurence failed to show making it a 62-2.5 final score. The Sequel Cup starts next weekend, top 32 scores of this weekend are in.
The unluckiest team in the comp is Blues B, for the second week running they were equal top scorers but were playing against the other top scorer. BOP Chiefs, Canes Black, Barbarians look comfortable as the top 3 with Canes Gold and SunJags battling it out for the 4th spot.

@Canes4life hasn't tipped for some time. Team might need you this week

Tips are due https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Results are in and form for next week is live. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Best score for the weekend was Kruse with a new season high of 71 points. 20/20 for category picks, 4/4 picks for games and margin missed for Crusaders and Force wins. Rico#1 with 66 and Duluth 63 the next best. No huge change at the top and Higgins still leads by 31 overall with Winger and Hydro11 level in 2nd, Tim in 4th and Bartman dropping down to 5th.
Wins for BOP Chiefs and Barbarians mean they are almost certain for the play-offs, Canes Black and Gold clear in 3rd and 4th.
The Sequel Cup started with the top 32 from last week going into the draw. All ties decided except Winger and Triple T go into a replay.

@KiwiPie Looks like Barbarians also got a team record with 57? I look forward to the top of the table clash this weekend.
Yes tough clash for us - need some of the weak links in our team (me for example) to step up
