Tou seem to be sittin quite well against your opponent and he will have a hard task to catch up. Am holding thums for you in this case. I think the lead is 201 points against 128, I took a look at his team compared to yours and although he has 10 plaayers still to play against your nine players to come.
Of those Moore, Labuschagne, O'Connor and Folau will produce an even number od points for you ans him. In other words he would have to make upp the point difference of 72 points by on the following basis:-
Oi-Matey Renegades
George Smith Arno Botha
Pieter-Steph Du Toiit Sam Whitelock
Jacques Engelbrecht George Whitelock
Aaron Cruden Christiaan Leafiitano
Jan Serfontein Richard Kahui
Bernard Foley
If the above scores more or less even points - the only one that can score his extra points is Foley. To me I am fairly optimistic that you will make it.
I am also fairly optimistic about Sasue - but much less so about my own chances of survival. The main problem is the two bench players I have in my starting line up. If they come on fairly early and score well - I may have a chance - otherwise I am likely to go down against my opponent. At this stage the point difference in my case is only 27 points in my favour He has 10 players to play against my 11 - but the problem is the two benched players I have. I can only hope against hope it works out that some of the players I have and he does not have do exceptionally well tomorrow and by Sunday morning I have a lead of about 80 to 100 points on him before the Crusaders Game. Lets hope for the best too.
