- Play a high tempo style of rugby , win the collision and secure quick ball for our backs , Give Phillips the opportunity to snipe as he did in 2009 lions tour and cause havoc.

- Impact players from the bench come on to make an impact in the game and keep the high tempo going.

Thanks for all getting your teams in, I have put in teams for the vacant cookie monster 15 and for Hon who is not able to get on as much at the moment. (I have just used the teams they submitted last time).

PREDICTIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Shark Bite Cider 15 - 17 Golden Oldies

prefer the Oldies backline and prefer Sharks Bite's pack but I think overall the Oldies take it.

Devils 23 - 24 Sandhurst

Prefer the Devils pack but the barbarians backs. pete has a stronger side overall in this game

Cookie Monster's 20 - 18 Try's r us

I think the Sides are even in the forwards but really like the Cookie monster backs.

Luke's legends 18 - 21 Morbakkas

Prefer the Morbakkas is both backs and forwards. Luke's team still strong though

Stevie's Wonders 25 Seaton Carew Sex Kittens 22

The balance of the Wonders pack is better for me, particularly in the back row. Love the Sex Kittens back three, but even in 2009 Phillips was not in Galthie's class and and the Wonder's half back combo works better for me so they just shade the win.


Shark Bite Cider 26 Golden Oldies 24

Tough to call, but I give SBC the front and back rows so a decent advantage in the pack. The Oldies's backs shade it for me, courtesy of some great tried and tested combinations, but on balance they are not so much better than the SBC backs to be able to win the game with the pack getting beaten.


Cookie Monster XV 18 Trys R Us 20

Tough to call this one, really nothing in it throughout most of the team. In the end I have given it to Trys R Us as I think they have 1 or 2 more game changers in the side and one of them would produce something to snatch it.


Lukes Legends 20 Mitcham Morbakkas 20

Sorry to cop outwith a draw, but couldn't call it. Front row to the Legends, second row to Morbakkas and back row even. Half backs to the Legends by a distance, but outside backs to the Morbakkas. Draw for me. Sorry.

Stevies 21-24 Seaton
Gives forwards to Steven, but Driver wins the backs. Prefer Drivers subs

Shark Bite 25–30 Oldies
Bathite definitely edges the forwards despite an amazing back row. Also slightly prefer their backs.

Devils 16-17 Barbarians
Only separate the two teams because of the benches.

Cookie 20-21 Trys
Just feel Pull will edge it

Stevies 20-22 Seaton

Devils 20-28 Barbarians

Cookie 20-24 Trys
