Took the first as the first game was being played for the 2nd set.

Victor 25

Laurence 21
Broughie 20
Tim 19
Higgins 19
Sportboy 17

Kruse 17

@kiwipie If I were to change some tips, based on the excellent form of the Ozzie ā€˜s, do I just complete the form for the remaining games?

Too late now but no. You're stuck with those tips like everyone else.

broughie

@kiwipie But can you change tips before a game starts?

By the way, the results have been up all day.

Not hard to pick the winners of the games, most people picked 5/5, but the margins were tricky and the category winners even trickier. Best score was Victor with 54 ahead of Winger and Canes4life on 53. Not much of a gap between the best scores and the worst.

The Cup is already active - with just 5 rounds, the top 16 scores went through which means there are 4 players going for just one spot - the first of Mikedogz, Unite, Donsteppa, Rico to score more than the other next weekend takes spot 16.

Donsteppa

@kiwipie sportboy in 35th with 247 points is an impressive first round effort 😊

Higgins

Has Winger ever been knocked out in the first round of the Cup before?

@kiwipie I just put my tips in hope I’m not too late I got it in at 7:04 šŸ˜‚

Game starts at 7:05 so that is just in time.

I'm not taking any revised tips after games have started by the way - gets too complicated with all the category picks.

Results are in and tipping form is up for next weekend.

It was an easy week to pick if you went "Kiwi teams by a lot" with the only difficult choices in the category picks. Best of the weekend was Laurence with 62 who moves up to 4th. The top 3 had identical performances to get 60 points - Victor, Winger and Plastered Peni in order. 14 are still 10 from 10 for tips - who can make it 25 from 25 by the end. Quarter finals of the Cup will be

Victor v Hooroo
Laurence v Langakali
Winger v Plastered Peni
Antipodean or Kruse v Tim

@kiwipie my last minute switch to the saders to win helped a little after thinking the Highlanders were at home!!

@kiwipie Thanks probably get a 20 point weekend with the rushing and all šŸ˜‚

Donsteppa

A last minute tipping reminder for those yet to submit, or leaving it to the last minute

@Corkscrew's set of tips has the Crusaders as top NZ scorer but the Waratah's as winning the game 17+? šŸ™‚
