  • Tipping competition back as rugby returns

    Welcome back to our Super Rugby Pacific tipping competition for another year. We’ve got tipsters competing in Invercargill, Dunedin, Wānaka and Gore to become the best tipster in the land, so good luck to all. Speaking of luck, the NZRU could do with some. No CEO, no coach and no high performance director (whatever that is). What an absolute mess. In the inimitable words of Peter Cook ‘‘is this any way to run a ballroom’’. The rumours coming out of All Blacks dressing room are astounding. Splits in the team, players bigger than the game, no accountability — it’s staggering. Anyway enough of that we are here to talk about the Super season. So who makes the six? I’m going to be very conservative here. The Chiefs, Crusaders, Canes, Reds and Brumbies in no particular order should make the six. The contenders for the one remaining spot should be the Blues, Highlanders and one of the Waratahs and Force. Not very adventurous, I know.
