Hurricans 23 - 22 Crusaders

Leicester 22 - 20 Biarritz

Sharks 18 - 14 Waratahs

I thought I had predicted..

Hurricanes 26 - 25 Crusaders

The Crusaders take their eye of the ball and the Cane's put in a cracking performance at home.

Leicester 17 - 20 Biarritz

Encouraging signs from the new look Tigers side, but not quite enough.

Sharks 15 - 12 Waratahs

Sharks win the battle of the midfield and the back row is rampant. Enough to secure victory.

Saints 17 Toulouse 20

Toulouse back to full strength and a front 5 to cause all sorts of problems to any team in the league. A last minute Skrela kick steals it.

Sharks 30 Waratahs 23

Sharks dominate from 1 to 80 minutes with Roberts having Cross in his back pocket for the full game.


Leagues getting exciting now lads!

Yeah this week was really hard to predict. Big kudos to Luke Prop ITFL, all have stepped up the quality in their teams big time.

Aww Bathite

Need to haul myself off the bottom now...I'm coming for you driver
