TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2026

@KiwiPie hello, for the home and away this weekend. Are we saying Moana and Drua are away teams? Thanks v much

KiwiPie

@jimmyb That's right. Tip according to how the teams are listed on the form with all the 5 traditional NZ Super teams at home.

KiwiPie

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...

@KiwiPie Just updated mine, as I previously thought that Blues were the home team.

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.

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.

KiwiPie

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.

Higgins

@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?

Tim

@KiwiPie Fat fingered my first attempt this week. Please use the 2nd one.

KiwiPie

It is all updated at https://silverfern.rugby/tipping - final week is coming up, make sure you get your tips in.

Best of the weekend were 3 people who picked 5/5, 4 with correct margins and picked up 10 in category picks. These were @GT12 @joan-and-mary @allblacksfan2 who all scored 67 points. Also picking 5 correct with 4 margins were Richie and @kiwimurph while there were plenty of other good scores if you avoided picking the Chiefs and the Waratahs to win.

Overall, @hydro11 now leads by a massive 37 points with relentless consistency (9 x 50+ scores when the next best is 7) while all his closest rivals have fallen away with a bad week or 2. Unless Hydro11 does us a favour by not tipping next weekend, the race is for 2nd place with 2nd to 9th only separated by 19 points.

In the cup final, @winger leads @paj by 2 half-way through their match.

In the teams comp, Canes Black took their expected spot in the final beating Blues B 51-33 as @kirwan didn't turn up while in the other semi, there was a draw between Barbarians and BOP Chiefs 51-51. The totals were 255 for both teams so they couldn't be split. Not had this happen before so the method of deciding will be the team that scores most points for Crusaders v Hurricanes this coming week (and then the 2nd game if still tied).

@KiwiPie

Wow, that's made my Monday... am in shock. Never thought that would ever happen. Kudos @GT12 and @joan-and-mary.
