The TSF Cup final is between myself and Langakali as Langakali chose Brumbies 1-8 and Duluth went Brumbies 9-16.
The results are in https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
Langakali took the TSL Cup title by posting a season best total in the final - can't argue with that. Along with @hurrycanes they were the only ones to pick 5/5 and top 60 points. The category picks gave nearly everyone 10 points for Chiefs highest scorers and biggest win.
@hydro11 still leads but the gap has closed to 6 over Victor with Langakali up to 3rd. A couple of people tipped late but only @jimmyb was missing altogether - good performance.
Wins for Canes Black and Barbarians have them out in front but the top 4 look to be cruising into the play-offs.
2 hours until kickoff, make sure you've done your tips https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit
It could be a pivotal weekend for tipping https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
With nobody picking a Drua win, the key games were Chiefs v Hurricanes where 42% picked the Canes and Force v Crusaders where 69% went Crusaders. Picking both those games correctly for 4/5 were @george33 who top scored with 56 with 20/20 for category picks, me, Langakali, @duluth @antipodean & @landers92 . I only gave points for the Chiefs game as closest game as you can't get closer than a draw.
@hydro11 still leads by 10 from Langakali with Victor dropping to 3rd. There are 6 rounds left to make your push for victory. Missing tippers were @booboo @frugby and @canes4life and @taniwharugby & @kruse were late and missed the first game.
The teams comp is pretty much settled for the top 4 playoffs with Canes Black leading by 7 from Barbarians, BOP Chiefs and Blues B who are a long way ahead of the SunJags.
The Sequel Cup starts next weekend. If you scored 25 or more this weekend, you're in the draw.
4 and a half hours until the Christchurch festival kicks off, get your tips in https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit
The results are in and the tipping form is live for next week - maybe the likes of @Kruse and @borderjb need to register some tips now so they aren't late. You can pick again later in the week and I use the last tips that you send. https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
It was an easy week to pick results although margins proved more elusive. All but 2 of the tippers, who got their tips in on time, picked 5/5. Best score of the week was @canes4life with 65, getting the margins for all 5 games plus 5 for the Blues v Reds as closest game. He would be near the top without missing 3 weeks of tips!
@hydro11 retains the lead but the pack is closing in, Victor is 5 behind and Langakali is 8 behind.
3 more weeks of games and the top 4 look set, just the placings to be decided. Missing tippers were @frugby @landers92 and @delicatessen
@KiwiPie
Your helpful reminders come out in the middle of my night, and I constantly login to The Fern on my Friday morning and see it, then stream expletives as I know I've already missed any Friday night games.
And yes, I've set up my own reminder on work calendar on Thursday afternoons, but..... results speak for themselves.
I need to change timezones.
Or yeah... add more reminders...
Tipping time, don't forget https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit
The results are in https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
There was a season high score of 70 for @ploughboy picking all 5 games with margins plus 2 category picks. Also 5/5 results for @canes4life (66) and @kiwimurph (only 48 due to no category picks). No big change at the top except for Victor falling back to 4th. Anyone from outside the top 4 will have to work hard to win from here, only 4 weeks to go.
Missing tippers were @southernmann @nickermits and @frugby
@hydro11 won the cup replay against @mikey07 but drew again playing @taniwharugby - that is the only replay with 7 through to the quarter-finals of the Sequel Cup.
In the teams comp, Canes Black have all but sealed the minor premiership by beating Barbarians, their only loss all season was to Blues B.
Your usual Friday reminder to tip https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit
Just 3 more weeks after this one.
All updated for the weekend at https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
Best of the weekend was actually me with 66, 5/5, 3 margins and 15 for category picks. Victor and @Tim next best with 63 ahead of Triple T and @joan-and-mary with 61. 11 picked 5/5 with a few backing the Blues, Waratahs and Force.
@hydro11 still holds onto the lead as he has for every week since Round 2 (except dropping to 3rd in Round 6). But the lead is only 4 ahead of me (don't worry I'll crumble) with Langakali and Victor still in touch. Tim is 5th but maybe too far back to win the title with only 3 rounds left.
With just one more round of the teams comp, the semi-finalists are set and probably the match-ups after BOP Chiefs beat Blues B.
The Cup is into the semi-finals. @Hydro11 won another replay against @taniwharugby as TR picked the Blues to win - Hydro11 to play Triple T in one semi and @dolamite to play @paj in the other.
Looks like we've lost @southernmann and @frugby altogether from the comp but everyone else is still playing.
Good morning all - if you think you did better with your picks, then maybe you're right. I have managed to make every Home 9-16 pick into an Away 9-16 pick and so a fair few of you actually scored higher this week. I'll need to process the scores again and I don't have much time today. But I will do it some time this week.

The scores have been updated https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
Quite a few of you now have very good scores. Best score of the weekend was @dolamite with 69 and @waynes-world & @gt12 both moved up to 66 and @winger increased to 64. Going the other way was @george33 who lost 2 correct picks to move to a total of only 2 - equal lowest of the season with @duluth
Things that changed - Blues B turned around the game against BOP Chiefs to win and move level in 3rd with them. Winger won the Cup game against @hydro11 to move into the semi-finals.

Scores are live here https://silverfern.rugby/tipping
Best of the weekend was @delicatessen with 3 correct margins and 3 category picks for 60 points. Next best was @hydro11 who may have sealed yet another title with 53 and a lead overall of 23 over Victor. @kruse was the only one brave enough to pick both the Waratahs and the Force but inexplicably also chose the Blues so there were no 4/4 selections.
The Sequel final is between @winger and @paj to be played over the next 2 weekends.
Hurricanes Black won 13 of 14 games and now meet Blues B in one semi-final while Barbarians will play BOP Chiefs.
@KiwiPie It was tough going this week and I note you have got an inevitable stinker out of your way this week instead of reserving it for next week's semi-final! Sadly I seem to have them too regularly so must be due a decent score sooner or later. Incidentally why does everyone seem to reserve their best performances against the Barbarians who despite being the top scorers in the points for column but are also featuring highly in the points against one?
Time to tip - it is finals time so your team needs you. https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit
Especially BOP Chiefs who always lose in the semi-final!
