Not much in it but Aristokrat and i picked it. Hurricanes are a nuggety side and not to be dismissed lightly.

Kind of hard to stomach Wepu and Nonu playing for Auckland though. As when playing with the ABs Nonu is inconsistent and blows hot and cold but should have stayed at the Hurricanes in my opinion and Wepu likewise.

Not much difference between the Crusaders, Highlanders, Chiefs and Hurricanes. All major contenders and i will be following their progress with great interest.

Decision making in the last 3 - 5minutes let my Blues down - drop goal begging to shut out the Hurricanes and a vitak knock-on and then Piri's decision to chip over from back of ruck a nothing ball - the rest is bitter history! 

I had picked the blues and but for  a last few minutes would have made it. Blues let us down this week!

But in mitigation its a long slog back to nz.

I had a tough time deciding my winner for most of these games. Another reason why the Kings should never be allowed in as there are no guaranteed wins anymore. Ja Blackadder, very strange seeing Nonu turn out for te Blues, lol.
