Another blockbuster weekend of wall to wall sport.
Blues vs Brumbies My Pick - Blues. Result - Blues.
A confidence building result for the Blues - a four try blitz over a ten minute period led by an ever improving Rene Ranger secured a bonus point win for the home team.
Bulls vs Hurricanes My Pick - Hurricanes. Result - Bulls
This was my upset pick of the weekend that was so close to coming through! The Hurricanes shot out to a 12 point lead by the Bulls clawed their way back. Only a late penalty by the Bulls gave them a two point victory. Bulls still looking good in this years comp - good teams find a way to win.
Crusaders vs Lions My Pick - Crusaders. Result - Crusaders
Like taking candy from a baby. Not a vintage performance by the Crusaders but still far too good for the Lions.
Highlanders vs Sharks My Pick - Highlanders. Result - Sharks
The Highlanders at home playing a team that had not won this season should have nailed a victory. The fact they didn't was a disgrace and has to bring into question their status as a Super 14 franchise. Another lacklustre season for the boys down south.
Dragons vs Bulldogs My Pick - Dragons Result - Dragons
The Dragons showed they will be a real title contender with a comprehensive win. I thought this would be a bit closer.
Warriors vs Sharks My Pick - Warriors Result - Warriors
Good confidence building win by the Warriors. They lost Seymour right before kickoff but it didn't seem to affect them too much.
Eels vs Manly My Pick - Manly Result - Eels
Manly were cruising at 20 nil but Eels further confirmed the unpredictability of this competition with stirring come from behind performance.
Manchester United vs Liverpool My Pick - Man U. Result - Man U
2-1 victory and United cement their spot at the top of the table.
Arsenal vs West Ham My Pick - Arsenel. Result - Arsenel
Arsenal came away with a well deserved victory. They did everything they could to lose however with one man sent off and then they conceded a penalty. Fortnately for them West Ham were trying even harder to lose and missed their penalty chance but allowed Arsenal to score theirs.
Blackburn vs Chelsea My Pick - Chelsea. Result - Draw
This is one Chelsea really needed to nail but they just seem like they cant win when the pressure is really on. This gives Man U 2 clear points at the top of the table from Arsenal with Chelsea 4 points behind with a game in hand.
Slightly better effort that last week with 6/10.
