Super Rugby tipping week six: 'Golden point, my a---': everyone tips the Tahs but who really believes in them?
The Australian derby is the major point of difference this week as our panel of tipsters are closely aligned again after a tight week…
Waiting for the announcement on the 23rd September is driving me to distraction. How about some thoughts on Sure Things, Probables, No-ways, and Bolters to chew on?
Realistically, if I were picking the tour squad I’d like to know a lot more than I do about players outside of the current Wallabies and Super 14 rosters.
A good number of the Wallabies would make my selection, but beyond that it gets very fuzzy as none of the local competitions show on Setanta Sports or online on MediaZone here in the US. So, I look forward to hearing from those fortunate enough to be familiar with the wider pool of players.
