Picks for Rd 13

I like most of your scoring forecasts - but am worried about some of those.  I would not make predictions before the teams are announced.  
What really is important for me is that the bulk of my fantasy teams come out of the teas I expect to win.  That is for instance why I had players like De Allende and Malherbe in my starting line -ups this past week.  
Another problem that worries me is the Highlanders issue.   Last year the Cheetahs lost by a huge margin in their first New Zealand game against the Chiefs  - yet they went on to beat the Highlanders with ease,  Travelling from SA to New Zealand present problems to teams - and the Highlanders is in that unfortunate position this week - they also may have some key injuries picked up in the SA tour matches.  That is one team that I would watch the team announcements before making a forecast.  
I share your opinion on the Sharks - they have no backline attacking abilities.   The reds is bloody useles this year and should not present a problem for the Criusaders,   
I am not so sure about the Rebels - it depends on a psychological issue, namely which Rebels team turns up, ie  the winning one or the losing one.   The winning one has beaten some very strong teams this year - the losing one look bad when they turnn up. 
The Blues is in the same position as the Rebels - but I have a feeling that they might beat the Chiefs, who really cannot seem to get good balls to their backline.  Messam was a bloody mess this week from a fantasy selection perspective and Retallick not so much - and that against the weak Lions outfit.  Will they be any better this week? .
