TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2024

Did it again with same result. No your tips are in

Who else is 100% after 1 game? This is easy!

The results are in for week 1 and the form is live for week 2 if you want to tip now to be sure you don't forget. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ has the leaderboard plus all the other stats across the tabs.

Early leaders are Dogmeat and Waynes World. Average tipping for Dogmeat but somehow he managed to pick all 4 of the categories for 20 points when around half the tippers pick zero categories. Waynes World with 3 maximums out of 6, beaten only by Victor and JL on debut who picked 4/6. Picking all 6 results correctly - 72% went 6/6.

50 tippers in all for week 1, only OomPB and frugby are playing as individuals as their chosen team was full - everyone else has been fitted in somewhere. Please try to keep playing all season as the team results were really close in the first week - wins for Barbarians who go top, SunJags, BOP Chiefs and Canes Black but all losing teams picked up a bonus point for within 7. An attacking bonus point is scored if your team had 3 or more maximums than the opposition - Barbarians and SunJags achieved that.

OomPB

@KiwiPie can't believe the BoP dont want me.

Dan54

I changed to Canes Black this year, wasn't comfortable having my name against anyone but Canes like last year. Not saying I will pick any better of course!

voodoo

@KiwiPie I'm not really on debut, I got a bit confused and put JL for my name rather than my TSF moniker - happy for it to be changed back to Voodoo!

Excited to be part of the mighty SunJags...

OK I will switch you over this coming week - can you keep this good start going?

Joan and Mary

@KiwiPie HI there, sorry I made a mistake with my tips, I picked Waratahs instead of Crusaders...can you fix it for me.....sorry..

voodoo

Assume "home" team is just the team listed first regardless of where the game is?

Duluth

@voodoo

Yeah the team listed first is the home side

Joan and Mary

@KiwiPie HI Nick, please could you change my picks, I made a mistake, ticked the Waratahs instead of the Crusaders. Very sorry. :anguished_face:

KiwiPie

The results are up for the weekend https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

A much tougher week to pick with nobody getting 6/6, TR the best with 5/6 backing Moana when most went for Drua. Top scores were @SouthernMann & @mikey07 with 42, only 4 reached 40. Lowest for @dK who was late tipping and @Joan-and-Mary with 14 (shouldn't have changed her correct pick for the Waratahs).

@Waynes-World had a good 38 to lead on his own, 6 clear of @dogmeat who is 5 clear of Victor.

Wins for both Canes teams plus Blues B and Barbarians. Biggest win was for Blues B despite them having the 2nd lowest total for the weekend - the SunJags bombed completely, nobody was over 30 and 3 were below 20.

dogmeat

@KiwiPie when I got the notification that I had been mentioned in your report was convinced it would be for lowest score 😕

4th? Whaka yeah I want to retire now

Windows97

I accidently picked the Crusaders to beat the Warratah's - can you reverse that please KP 🙂

thanks man, good to be here, reckon we can do some great things together this season

If you're in the TSF Tipping comp, you almost certainly had a bad weekend - unless you're @Kirwan or Richie who somehow managed to score 49 and 47. Kirwan benefited from picking the Crusaders to thrash the Drua as it was the biggest winning margin (the other way) and Richie had 4 perfect picks. At the other end of the scale there were some very low scores, @sportboy the lowest with just 7.

The leaderboard has completely changed with Kirwan (up from 9th) now leading by 8 from Waynes World with Mikey07 in 3rd. Richie has risen from 30th to 4th, level with Victor.

Barbarians remain on 3 wins from 3, thrashing the sorry BOP Chiefs. SunJags dealt to Blues A easily and there were also wins for Blues B and Canes Gold. The 4 winners are the top 4 with Canes Black just outside the 4. 3 defeats in a row for South Island and Blues A.

With 2 absences in a row, George has been dropped from Blues A and @OomPB is drafted in. Missing this week were also @Windows97 & @KiwiMurph - there are @Nevorian and @frugby waiting to step in if they are missing again next week.

The TSF Cup draw has been made - the top 32 scores for the weekend qualified. There are play-offs between Hydro11 & Winger and between Higgins and Duluth to make that first round. The first player to go ahead next weekend goes into the main draw.

Kirwan

Now that's a table I can get behind.

I was going to tip the Drua but at last moment thought surely the Saders won't lose three on the trot...

Fucking Cantab's. Never trust them

KiwiPie

The results are in and next week's tipping form is live

Best of the weekend was Fonz with 55, picking all 6 results, 4 with margins, Fiamacho the only other to pick all 6 for 48. 2nd best on 49 were Triple T, @BartMan & @Hurrycanes. Kirwan still leads by 12 from Victor with Waynes World in 3rd. Fonz, Triple T, Bartman and Fiamacho all roar into the top 11.

Worst of the week was @OomPB with just 16, @mikedogz & @Kruse were also below 20.

In the Cup, @hydro11 and @Higgins won their replays by getting a maximum 10 for the Canes game and then won their ties to get into the last 16. Some lucky wins for people scoring low 20s, an unlucky defeat for Fiamacho coming up against Fonz.

The Barbarians march on with yet another win - chasing them hard are SunJags and Blues B. There was a first win for Blues A in the battle of the bottom 2, 4 losses out of 4 for South Island.

@Windows97 has been dropped from the BOP Chiefs after 2 absences replaced by @frugby for next week. @Stag missed this week and will be out of the South Island team for @Nevorian with another absence.

Just as I was contemplating dropping myself after this last weekend’s performance

OomPB

Disaster strikes.

All up to date now on https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

It looked like being a week for many 6/6 picks until the Force upset - a result only picked by @Kirwan @voodoo & @dK. Best score was @SouthernMann with 59, boosted by 3/4 category picks with voodoo on 57 and @rico1 on 54. With 52, Kirwan has extended his lead to 19 points with only 10 points separating 2nd and 8th, @Waynes-World is now 2nd, @mikey07 3rd and @taniwharugby & SouthernMann share 4th.

The TSF Cup is now at the quarter-final stage. @hydro11 faces SouthernMann, @Higgins is against @BorderJB or Fonz, Mikey07 plays Rico#1 and finally Waynes World battles TR.

The Barbarians made it 5 wins out of 5, taking down Canes Black. Blues B continued their winning sequence against a woeful Blues A to go 2nd. 3rd are the SunJags who lost to Canes Gold who move up to 4th.

Kirwan

Not sure how this happening, but;

@Kirwan I’ll join you don’t know how I’m 3rd I’m normally holding up between 15th-30th
