Hard to believe it's the last weekend of the regular season... Somehow, Super Rugby has seemed to pass by much quicker than the Pro14 or the Premiership, maybe it's because of all the side cups and competitions...
In any event, gimme my
Highlanders at home against the stumbling '
Tahs;
Rebels to defend the home field with a narrow win against the
Chiefs;
Jaguares should destroy the poor
Sunwolves, who get to fly halfway around the world to finish a season in a league where they're not wanted... Sad.
'
Canes should be way too much for the
Blues, even if they decide to rest some people;
I like the
Brumbies, who've been looking sharper, at home over the
Reds;
My gut says the
Sharks will come into Cape Town and get out with a tough win over the
Stormers;
And the
Bulls should win fairly comfortably, it feels like the
Lions' tires have collectively come off, lots of dissent is being rumored...
In "tooting your own horn news," last week I got 'em all right except for the 'Landers drawing... And you'd have to remove the word "boring" from my Reds/Blues prediction:
(From week 17 thread
Gimme my beloved Highlanders over the sometimes-frightening Bulls,
The Reds to eke out a close win in a boring installment of the Purple Cup,
Crusaders to crush the Rebels, just to make sure they can take it easy fully next week,
Brumbies to get a nice away win at the 'Tahs,
The Hurricanes to shock the Lions with a blowout win at altitude,
Stormers to easily beat the hapless Sunpuppies, and
The Jaguares to keep up their winning ways over the visiting Sharks
