LOL @ jonesy2: There's nothing I love more than the Aussie commentators saying "the HONEYBADGER!" when Nick Cummins gets the ball! They've stopped doing it recently though... I think we should write them a letter.

Jeez, there are some MIGHTY difficult predictions this week! Brumbies v. Reds, Cheetahs v. Waratahs, Sharks v. Stormers, Force v. Lions... could all really go either way! I'm going to stick my neck out though and say the Lions are going to win. There have been glimpses on this tour of what they are capable of - they have a strong line-out, a strong scrum, a strong maul and good defense when they put their mind to it. But they've been their own worst enemies with stupid, basic errors. If they start catching those balls and find their rhythm, they will start moving towards their Currie Cup form again. The Force on the other hand have started to fade rapidly after a solid start... It will be a close game, but I think an underestimated Lions side will fancy their chances and will play with confidence for a change.

As for the others, agree with regards to Chiefs, Hurricanes and Highlanders winning. As a Stormers supporter (and since all they've been doing is winning), I have to back the Stormers - but it will be super tough. As for the other three games - I'm changing my mind every time I think about it..! But I think I'm going to settle for the Brumbies and Waratahs.

So yeah,

Chiefs, Hurricanes, Highlanders, Brumbies, Lions, Waratahs, Stormers.
