The Drawing Board (15/03/12)

Hello and welcome to Who’s Playing Who?’s weekly rugby blog.  This week has started off on a sad note here in New Zealand with the passing of Jock Hobbs (father of Michael Hobbs, the Blues first five). The former All Black captain was the man who saved NZ rugby and is the guy who brought RWC 2011 to NZ. Jock made a huge impression on New Zealanders, and was widely respected by everyone who he came in contact with. Read more…

The Punt #39

We had three winners last week, with Tomo continuing his good form, Matt getting himself in the black, and Adrian finally grabbing his first win of the year. Despite this, he is still firmly rooted to the bottom of the ladder, so will need to continue to win if he is any chance of moving away from the wooden spoon position. Who are our punters backing this week?

A-League Round 23/EPL Gameweek 28/Super Rugby Round 3/NRL Round 2 Megatips

The Drawing Board (8/3/12)

Hello and welcome to Who’s Playing Who?’s weekly rugby blog. Last week I mentioned that I was unhappy with the lack of tries being scored and the bore-fests that had dominated Round 1. Well it seems someone was reading my blog! Round 2 still contained the drama and tight finishes, with the major point of difference being there were far more tries this round. What is more impressive is the manner in which they were executed. Maybe it was rustiness that prevented this being shown in the opening round, but this is what we have been waiting for ever since the end of the World Cup. Read more…

The Punt #38

So James again gets a good collect, pushing him further out in front, while David pushes himself into third with a collect as well. Neither of Tomo’s punts from the last two weeks have got up, hence his double loss this week, and Adrian’s streak continues. This week he’s gone to extreme lengths to get a win, but how far will he go?

A-League Round 21/EPL Gameweek 26/Super Rugby Round 1 Megatips

Time for… MEGATIPS. Super Rugby starts up again this week, joining the A-League and EPL in our stable of competitions. Only one more week and the NRL will be joining them… There’s a reason this is MEGATIPS! Read more…

The Punt #37

James is on a roll, another victory, and after this one he has taken the lead in the competition, although Tomo’s bets are still on the table, so by next week we could have him back at the top. Unfortunately Adrian is still without a win, but this week he has chosen a different route. Who is Adrian entrusting to get him out of his slump?

A-League Round 20 Megatips

Time for… MEGATIPS. Every A-League match tipped inside. Apart from that though, there’s not much else to tip. Do not fear – this is very much the calm before the storm. Next weekend will be considerably more mega, with the start of Super Rugby. And when the NRL and AFL get going… Read more…
