+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bye : Round 4 - Stormers

Byes : Round 5 - Bulls, Sharks and Blues

Bye  :  Round 6 - Jaguares

Byes : Round  7 - Lions, Brumbies, Highlanders

Bye :  Round  8 -  Chiefs    

This should be a more easy round to  predict the outcomes:=

*    Easy win by the Hurricanes against Highlanders

*    Easy win by the Rebels against the Brumbies

*    A walk in the Park for the  Crusaders beating the chiefs

*    Blues should beat the Sunwolves, but would they after a trip around the world

*    I think the Reds will beat the Waratahs

*    Jaguars to beat the Lions - but will they?  the Lions are desperate

*    Bulls vs Sharks - nobody knows - it depends on the Sharks team selection - they need to get their centers right.    

To the top with this one.
