[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 131695"] I'm hoping for a little bit less of a hiding for my mighty watu, but this (named waikato team) will be the strongest team on any park for this competition. Waikato by 20...ish. Otago aren't all rubbish. There has been a bit of a changing of the guard, but this Wellington team is looking as talent laden as ever. I'm keeping an eye out for Robbie Fruean! Wellington by 15. I think the Taranaki v Tasman game is actually on the Friday too isn't it? Doesn't change the fact you're right about the winner though. Naki by 10. The Northland v Harbour and Auckland v Counties games are on the saturday I think. I'm hoping for an upset... Northland by 5. Auckland will be too strong for Counties, but there should be some fireworks from both backlines if the weather stays fine (not like last weekend!!. Auckland by 18. Canterbury forward pack should be the difference against the Steamers. Stephen Brett just loves that front foot ball. Canterbury by 20. Southland and Hawkes Bay have both had mixed preseasons and will be fairly evenly matched this year. You would expect Southland to be the stronger team (playing at home), with more experience around the park. Southland by 10 (Although my Virtual Rugby picks say differently. Just in case anyone here is keen to play the official virtual rugby season and doesn't know about it, here's where to sign up: [url="http://www.telecomvirtualrugby.co.nz/"]http://www.telecomvirtualrugby.co.nz/[/url] P.S. Get in quick, it starts tomorrow!!. It always sucks if you miss the first round. [/QUOTE]
