Tesult Forecast - Super 15 Final Round

I have made my predictions for the Final Round for Super 15 and posted the following:- CRUSADERS to beat Hurricanes by 20 HIGHLANDERS to beat Rebels by 9 CHIEFS to beat Blues by 18 WARATAHS to beat Reds by 12 BRUMBIES to beat Force by 18 SHARKS to beat Southern Kings by 9 BULLS to beat Stormers by 6 I am very hesitant to predict a win for the Bulls at Newlands and my prediction is more based on hope than realism. I hope the Bulls win and even a 1 point margin win will still put them on top of the Super 15 log. I think the Crusaders are strong favourites to win their match and they struck form exactly at the right time. The Blues are going to be too weak to beat the Chiefs - even in a home game. They will have jet lag problems and the Chiefs will try their utmost to ensure they have a home semi and not be in the play-offs. In any event the Blues had a horrible game against the Cheetahs this week and the Crusaders wiped the floor with the Chiefs - so the game may not be as one-sided as I am predicting. If the side picked by the Reds is taken into account - I smell a rat. They may wish to lose the game by more than 7 point so as to end up 6th on the log - thus avoiding a play-off game against the Crusaders. I base my prediction on that premis.

CRUSADERS to beat Hurricanes by many points

HIGHLANDERS to beat Rebels by about ten points

CHIEFS to beat Blues by many points

REDS to beat Waratahs by 12

BRUMBIES to beat Force by many points

SHARKS to beat Southern Kings by many points

STORMERS to beat Pink Cows (Bulls) by 15
