Due to popular demand, Super Rugby tipping is back on The Roar for the 2020 season!
Yes, we’ve cut things just a little fine, given there’s only five hours until the rugby gets underway for another year (there’s probably something to be said about Super Rugby starting in January here), but we figured it would be better to get the competition up and running close to the start of the season rather than waiting another year to bring it back.
To sign up for the comp, log in and head to The Roar’s tipping page, select Super Rugby 2020 under competitions to join. Save your preferences, then go over to submit your tips for Round 1. You can also enter the competition and your tips in the form at the bottom of this page.
If you’re coming across this a little after the round kicks off, don’t worry. You’ll still be able to enter your tips for each match until their start times, and if you miss the entire weekend but have a record of your tips elsewhere, get in contact with us and we can sort something out.
And remember to tell all your rugby-loving mates to get them on board for 2020 so you can prove who knows their footy best!

It accumulates every week, and is used to rank/separate everyone who is on the same tipping score. For example if you have a look at the ladder, there are a few of us in 2nd place who got 6/7 and have 1 in the right hand margin column, meaning we got the margin wrong by 1. Below us are a group who also got 6/7 but who got the margin wrong by 2. And so on, through people who got the margin wrong by more, until you get to the people who only got 5/7. Then they are also ranked by how close they are to the correct margin. Next week, let's say I get the margin wrong by 10pts, then I will have 11 in the right hand column and will be ranked against everyone else on the same score accordingly. I really hope that makes sense...

Sorry I'm a little slow on this. What does the "Margin" column on the leaderboard represent? How close your predicted margin was to the correct margin? Above or below the correct margin?

Thugby, firstly there’s nothing ‘old’ about the leg. Please remember your manners. It’s too early for insults. The Saders haven’t cheated yet. Regarding Moodygate two seasons ago -you don’t need to recount the details from that game. They live vividly in my memory. But seriously bro, I don’t think the Baby Tahs, or the Tah Joeys have a snowflake’s chance in a heatwave tomorrow. I hope they learn a lot though. They have some promise in them. Of course they could shock us. But like getting away with an elbow in front of the ref on the way to scoring a try to turn a game, anything can happen in rugby.

No TF, the +5 and +10 is just a tool for lazy people who can't figure out a different margin and how to write it into the box themselves. You're not obliged to use it. There are no 'extra points' as such, the margin is only used as a tie break to rank people who are on the same number of tips.

One of the benefits of being my own boss, mate! Seriously, very generous of the guys to allow latecomers to stake a claim on Monday, given the short lead in. But if that gets more people in, all the better.

Ken's old leg. Weren't the Tahs leading 29-blot in the corresponding fixture 2 years ago until a kindly Kiwi referee allowed Joe Moody (or the other prop) to accidentally elbow K.Beale in the throat thus paving the way for the 1st Crusader try. Shoulda been no try and 10 minutes on the naughty chair. Oh if the ref had only done the right thing that night. :( So weird things can indeed happen.

Geoff, you said the same thing every week last year. I seem to remember it well as there were no successful full tips until about Round 7 or 8, then ONE bloke got the full house of tips (ps: I know because it was me ???? ) Btw beer coasters don’t count unless counter-signed, and dated prior to the 1st match, by Elizabeth II and D.Trump and a letter from your boss allowing you in the pub during working hours.

Geoff and Ben, is the Blues vs Chiefs game set as the Power Play, like extra points if your +5 or +10 wins the day? btw for folks not well versed in scrounging around web-sites, the Roar tipping is found by left mouse click on the 9 dot square next to your name logo, go down to Roar Community and 2nd is Roar Tipping.

Well I guess, crazy people don't know they're crazy. That's what makes them crazy! :silly:

Congrats editors! Well done. May the rudest Roarer lose, and the funniest poster win. And Brett, let's hope Brett wins something too.

Fair call. I could come up with the name of the pub but it's a stretch claiming that I have a mate.

Sorry mate, too much static... you're not coming through clearly...

There is something iffy about that evidence Geoff. Don’t want to come across as suspicious, but please name the pub? And the mate? Oh..., and the picks?

I’d be tipping the Doggies before the Tahs this week Paul.
