Haha Mike they have a 12 game winning streak in Welly. Been a bit inconsistent this year. But should be warm favs in Welly. 

Hurricanes updated

This is a joke team - that will need the desperate assistance of Glen Jackson.   He has a rather problematic history in the past - 

*   In a Hurricanes -  Stormers Game a few years ago he buggered up badly and was on the NZ rugby programme asked about two decisions he took - when shown again he blushed and made some remark about being sorry;

*   Last year he was assigned by Sanzaar to ref games in SA,  After two major bugger-ups in successive games involving NZ teams - he was recalled to NZ.

But that team - no Laumape and the only flop in the backline - Jordie Barrett - at center,  And those scrummies?   Lam and Goosen are very good - but the forwards are very poor iro the Tight 5.   Jackson at 24 will be of help though.          

Six reams updated -  8 to go

We will not have the Brumbies Reds teams before closure of the fantasy games - the game is on Sunday.   

Outstanding:

Sunday game

Brumbies                )

Stormers Updated,   Some surprises - Van Zyl at 5 and Nel at 13.   Schickerling and Du Plessis on the bench though.     

Rooinek - thanks
