Superbru 2019

So done with making Super Rugby picks this season. Going to my fallback position - home teams by 7 across the board.

mine look similar also went for the home teams to win.

Probably not a bad strategy in this case. I don’t see any of the away sides winning this weekend. I’m a bit miffed that the Bulls’ reward for finishing higher on the table than the just-scraped-through-Sharkies is a game in Wellington against the side that effectively finished second on the table. I would have backed the Bulls to give the Brumbies a go. As it stands, all SA sides will be history come Saturday.

Threw in the Sharks win just because its MY team! Otherwise very similar.

I was like wow.

Sweepslag · June 24, 2019, 7:24am

Not a hugely difficult set of results to predict. I’m glad the Bulls gave the Hurricanes a run for their money though.

2/2 and 1 MP

Same. Were both fairly predictable wins, but who would have given the Jags 32 points over the Brumbies? They’ve come a long way since joining the Super Rugby tournament. Think they can hold on for a finals win away against the Crusaders?

oltman · July 1, 2019, 8:22am

I will be cheering for the Jaguares come final time! Its time for new blood!

czc · July 1, 2019, 8:35am

It would definitely be exciting if they won.

Solitude · July 1, 2019, 9:15am

I put money on the Crusaders right in the beginning of the tournament so I’ll be shouting for them like crazy.

Sweepslag · July 1, 2019, 11:07am

Given that everyone expected them to win in any case, you surely cannot have gotten long enough odds for a decent payout…?

wenzdayz · July 5, 2019, 1:54pm

So tomorrow morning is the final… how have thee voted?

i went with the Crusaders to win by 6… although my gut is telling me to go for the upset

czc · July 5, 2019, 1:56pm

I went for the upset.

Sweepslag · July 5, 2019, 2:04pm

I will be no better than fourth in my office pool, so I picked the Jags. What the hell.

Solitude · July 5, 2019, 5:11pm

I picked the Crusaders to win by far.

oltman · July 6, 2019, 5:28am

The Jags, because they beat the Sharks…

wenzdayz · July 7, 2019, 6:59am

The juaguares really tried everything they had to best the crusaders. They were just do unlucky not being able to score tries. The crusaders are just a class act.

GregRedd · July 7, 2019, 10:16am

Went with my default “Home team by 7” and beat the Community average

Ended the tournament with a better than average Win Success, almost average Margin Accuracy and in the Top 12% Global and SA, all of which I am hugely surprised about, to be honest.

oltman · July 7, 2019, 3:04pm

I am relieved this season is over. Nobody wants to see my stats…
