@kiwipie Sorry KP shouldn't have sent that last entry in, I thought I had the Crusader Blues match points wrong. Please keep the first entry. Been going through a bit of hell here. Sorry.

@joan-and-mary No problem - that entry was duly ignored!

The site is updated for Week 9 - next weekend is the final time you have to tip for Super Rugby Aotearoa 2021.
With the title in his hands, Hurrycanes chose to pick the Blues to win which has given everyone else some hope. He still leads but is only 4 ahead of me. Then it is Winger 2 points behind and another 7 down to Crucial in 4th. Nobody had both results and margins but a few were close with Crusaders 9-16 and Chiefs 1-8. One of those was Triple T who top scored with 59 and is up to 6th overall.
Crucial leads J77 52-45 in the TSF Cup Final. All to play for next week.

For the final time in Super Rugby Aotearoa, it is your time to tip.
Still all to play for (except for those that don't have anything to play for)

Had a peek at the tips from the top 4. This could get interesting. All four have gone for the same first tip and quite close on points/tries. For the second game the top 2 have gone for a close one with the next two going for 9-16 (all for the same winner). Again the points/tries are similar but different enough that they could make a difference.
Could be a very close scoreboard at the end of this or we all have it wrong and someone will come storming up the ladder and zooming past. -
@crucial Thanks for the tips. I might go the direct opposite and hope for two upsets. No chance in hell in winning if I pick basically the same as those ahead of me on the table (and that's plenty this year). I have to decide whether to possibly crash and burn (or come out in a blaze of glory) or to maintain my current position. Decisions decisions...........

I usually try that approach about half way through the comp. good luck.

@crucial You could have ensured your maiden Cup Victory simply by mirroring J77s tips which came in before yours!!!!!! Good luck anyway in defending you seven point half time lead.
Nah. Played fair on that one. Tipped first then looked.

So do I. Uncharted territory for me! I think I was about 20th at the beginning of the month.

None of the leaders was bold enough to pick a big win in either game and so Hurrycanes held on to be the champion by just 3 points from Winger who rose above me to be second. 4th was Victor who jumped above Crucial.
Smudge was the best of the weekend with 51 ahead of Kruse and Delicatessen on 49. Mikedogz recorded the lowest score of the season with just 2 points, if the Highlanders had scored just 1 try fewer he would have had the perfect zero.
Crucial won the TSF Cup, beating J77 by 2 in the 2nd leg to win by 9 overall.
Thanks to everyone who played, we'll be back for the NPC whenever that starts.

@kiwipie thanks mate.
Every Ferner from 29-46, hang your heads, I actually beat you!
