Tahs win. Needed that to keep pace with Rego. Now even if the Force lose which they probably will won't give up too much ground.
Yeah it had me tied tbh. Saders were starting to find form and in the past have always won when it mattered (business end of the season) and the Tahs have been a lil inconsistent but they were at home. Tahs definitely played better so I'm glad they won, good game.
Lol. I think I should probably just pick the team who should win instead of going for the underdogs in an effort to catch up. Getting embarrassing now.

Hmmm with Jane still out they seem to be preferring to move Milner-Skudder to wing, Marshall to fullback with Black playing his 2nd game at 10. Don't get me wrong, Black played well last week, he was solid and couldn't be faulted but now that Proctor's back (he's on the bench this week) I'd have kept Milner-Skudder at fullback (prefer him there too) Proctor on the wing and Marshall at 10 or swap Proctor and Milner-Skudder around if they're so deadset on playing Milner-Skudder on the wing - though once again I prefer Proctor on the wing by far. Any of those combos is safer than Black starting. Saders will be out on force, this is pretty much their last chance at a play off spot. So slightly debatable selection (no disrespect to Black, he'll probably do well but certainly not something I'd risk in a game like this).
Really struggling with the Landers v Chiefs and Lions vs Tahs games, I just can't make a final decision. The Landers are in good form, but the Chiefs are always good on NZ soil and that cannot be disregarded. The Lions also have form and HGA going for them, but the Tahs have more threats over the field and better structures imo. Fuark!!!!
Don't change your first instincts imo recipe for disaster. I could easily change my picks as well. The Cheifs are missing Liam Messam. So that is making me rethink things a bit. Also the lions lost to the brumbies so why should they beat the tahs. So yeah I am not sure what to do.
