The final results are posted up now.
If the season doesn't start again, Higgins will be the champion, Barbarians will win the league and Triple T the cup. If Super Rugby does complete the season then we will decide what we do at that point.
Stay safe people

So shall we resurrect the tipping comp for 13 June? What's the view on whether we carry on with the current comp or start a brand new one?
I've put up an online form so you can vote on it.
@taniwharugby
I forgot. Am I winning? Not likely so yeah, a new one.
Not a massive number of votes but it is clear - the 2020 competition is ended with Higgins the champion, Barbarians the team champs and Triple T the cup winner.
A new competition will begin when the matches begin and we will just make it a battle of individuals in case we don't get enough returnees to form the teams. With just 2 games per weekend, look out for a new scoring system to test your skills.

Cool. Like getting bonus points for getting both results wrong?

We're live again! Still the same link https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
A new tipping form and spreadsheet have been created so enter your tips now at
Changes are as follows
No team competition, you're all just playing for yourself for these 10 weeks.
80 points per weekend - double points for picking winner and margin as before so 40 points for the 2 games. 8 more categories of 5 points each.
For a team score, you score 5 for being correct or within 1, 4 for being 2/3 out, 3 for being 4/5 out etc etc. So if you're 10 or more away you get zero.
For team tries, you score 5 for being correct and 2 for being within 1.
The first game is on Saturday at 5pm so you have until then to submit.

Is @Crucial restarting the Superbru competition?
I haven’t looked at it. Will check now.
Ok, I have re-activated the pool on Superbru and sent out invites. Apparently you can also search for it with a code (beansees)

Great I'm in.

@KiwiPie wow those new options make this game that much easier!
I'm liking that the points picks often don't bear a relation to the tries picks - 28 points and 5 tries??

Sounds though Beuden has had a bad kicking day.

Missed 5 conversions from right in front and nailed a penalty from out wide?
