Super Rugby tipping panel Week 14: tipping sucks again

Tipping sucks again. Super Rugby tipping panel Week 14: tipping sucks.

Tony wants to be introduced and acknowledged in the intro to the results.

This week's Super Rugby round is a super-sized one with the addition of the Round 10 make-up game between Moana Pasifika and the Western Force on Tuesday. The match of this round will be Saturday night’s top-of-the-table clash in Canberra between the Brumbies and Blues.

Last week Digger got six points, Geoff and The Crowd five, Harry four, Brett three.

Crusaders, Reds, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Blues, Highlanders, Force, Waratahs and Rebels are the teams to pick. The two toughest games are in Canberra and Dunedin. Force will beat the Brumbies. MP will win against the Waratsahs. The Force should beat Rebels. They have a better set piece. It's a long way to the top.

Coaches are now instructing their players to drag the opposition in possession across their own goal lines.

The Brumbies vs. Blues match should make for far superior viewing than what will be on all of the main channels. The catch-up match won't make as compelling viewing. Force should win. The Tahs should finish the whole 80 minutes off.

Clive Palmer has spent a lot of money telling us that Craig Kelly will be Prime Minister come Saturday night.

The panel tips the Crusaders, Reds, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Blues, Highlanders, Moana Pasifika. The panel picks Moanna to win against the Force. The team is playing well. They are playing against a team that has got a screw job in their first season. It's going to be a close game. Hamilton will come alive as the zombie Chiefs lord it over the leaky Force, the Hurricanes will clown the Rebels, and the youthful Blues will prey on the aging Brumbies’ edge defence.

The Kiwis are looking for a tight five to restore dominance over the Irish, French, Boks and Wallabies. The props are not scary. Sam is starting to resemble a Dickens character. Vai’i is super, but a bit short.

Crusaders, Reds, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Brumbies, Waratahs, Force and Highlanders are the Super Rugby tipping panel's picks for week 14. The Force are probably the best bet because they will be in Auckland on Sunday morning. The Waratsahs are playing to see where they travel to in a fortnight's time. They are also the least likely team to be playing on Tuesday.

The Brumbies are playing at home in Australia's National Capital on the night of a federal election. The Crowd's tips will be revealed Friday afternoon.
