Is it worth adding to predictions who people think will score?? Not like tallying up the exact total but just a few names so that the try scorers in this game can give some sort of indication of form?

After a busy weekend just tying up loose ends at the moment...

Driver and Chris receive no bonus this week due to no/late predictions. 207 receives half bonus for scores only. Full bonus for everyone else


Matt,

Have to defend my side as always! Todd was the form 7 of the Super 15, not just in my opinion but nearly all rugby publications! Crane again at the top of the charts for metres made and started all the big games for Tigers ahead of an inform Waldrom as well. Yes Best in the championship last year is a mark down but he has gone pretty well for Worcester so far since coming up. Doesnt look like a backrow that should get smashed all over the place

I reckon the best 7 in the Super 15 was very hard to call. Similar to 10 and 13.

Todd, Robinson, AJ, Pocock etc all had pretty good seasons.

AJ got the nod in the Planet Rugby team of the season although the Planet Rugby admitted it was controversial.

Could never consider Ashley Johnson a 7! Doesnt do any work at the breakdown and was one of the highest for missed tackles in the whole tournament. Pocock was very quite for most of this season so cant see him being near 7 of the tournament. If anything its only really between Todd and Robinson but most publications have Todd in their side

Guys - I might struggle to predict of Friday's at the moment as working with WWF, Michael Palin and some others to make a cool online film and on Saturday morning's I run a half marathon, so dont' really get back online until after 12:30 or so.

Is there anyway we can extend prediction deadlines until about 14:00 on a Saturday?

Is that with the Undertaker and HHH Chris?!

WWF is the world wildlife fund or something along those lines these days Prop. The wrestling usde to be called that though as well
