Conclusion to Week 15 after the Canes v Chiefs game. Most picked the Canes which left only DK, FarNthHayden, Crucial and Hooroo as picking 6 results from 6. Hooroo also bagged 3 of the 4 category picks (the low scoring Canes v Chiefs game stopping him from getting all 4) for the week's high of 62.
In the play-offs, wins for the BOP Chiefs (despite Sportboy) and Canes Gold (all six members at 45 or more) saw them tip over Canes Black and the favourite Barbarians. The final will be contested over the 2 final weekends (in a few weeks time). The plate final is between Blues B (who drew with South Island but took it by a point - 221 to 220) and the SunJags.
Barbarian extended his lead by 3 but a 9 point lead over Hydro11 means he cannot relax yet.
And the Sequel Cup final is between KP and Hurrycanes. Tim managed not to turn up to his game.

Less than 8 hours to get your tips in - come on people, this comp is almost over, one last push for the line.
I'm hoping everyone else forgets and I have a blinder. It's my only hope.

Half-way through the round, nearly everyone picked the first 2 games wrong and the second 2 games right.
The games below all last until the end of the round robin so plenty still to play for. Canes Gold lead by 1 in the final

Overall Barbarian leads by just 4 from Hydro11 going into the final week. 23 points back to 3rd so unless something strange happens, it is between those 2 for the title. In the cup final, Hurrycanes leads by 2 against me after the first leg.
After the first leg, BOP Chiefs lead Canes Gold by a point. Canes Black leads the Barbarians by 2 in the 3rd/4th battle.

legend, top score on a week of guesses...oh wait, most weeks are guesses!

A fair few of us are on 20/20 - the Kings-Cheetahs game wasn't included in the 8 games. In the battle to the summit, Hydro11 cracks first picking the Rebels to win and is now 12 behind Barbarian. There are still some differences to come as Hydro went for the Waratahs and Barbarian for the Force while Barbarian has the Bulls and Hydro the Stormers.
Canes Gold have turned around the final to now lead by 2 - all their 6 have 2/2 while Hooroo and Sportboy backed the Rebels for the BOP Chiefs.

Final scores for the season are updated now.
Well done Hurricanes Gold for winning the TSF Tipping title for 2017. Winger was their top player in 4th overall but they consistently had scoring team so well done also to Plasterered Peni, Buck, Crucial, Antipodean and Chaz for a solid team effort.
BOP Chiefs were runners-up again, the 3rd time in the last 4 seasons and once again their slightly bizarre picking let them down at the end - KP, Donsteppa and Midge near the top, Hooroo further back and Sportboy and Unite down near the foot of the table.
Barbarians took 3rd, Canes Black 4th, then it was the SunJags, Blues B, Blues A and finally the South Island who were down to just 2 tippers by the final week.
Individual title to Barbarian who held off the late run of Hydro11 and was a deserved winner having taken the lead many weeks ago. He won by 14 in the end from the gallant Hydro who defended last season's title strongly. Hurrycanes took the Sequel Cup.
The History of TSF Tipping has been updated. Recording best ever finishes were Barbarian (obviously although he was 2nd 2 seasons ago), Midge with 11th (previous best 24th), Victor in 5th and Mikedogz in 37th.
See you all next year for whatever Super Rugby turns into and if you're keen for NPC in a few weeks time.

Well done again KP
One caveat much as I enjoy the comp I think it should end when the international break falls
Mind you I think Super Rugby should end then too
Well you did seem to forget after the break ....
I hear you - it does drag on and was even worse this time with the Lions tour being out of phase with other international tours.
