What a weekend of rugby, but started off on the worst foot.
The Cheetahs shouldn’t even be in this competition. Watching them against the Blues was painful and embarrassing. The Blues should hang their heads that they only won by 34 points.
At least the Cheetahs can win at one thing, and that’s taking the mantle off [...]

Well another weekend I still haven’t seen much ruggers. Only caught the glimpses of the Tah’s match and was pretty pissed by the time I saw the Force match, so cant really add much light on that game. It was all a blur of Cameron Shepherd and Nick “Man-Perm” Cummings.
The weekend started with an upset, [...]

Hurricanes take on their old rivals the Highlanders in what is bound to be a close clash. Rugby Oracle has the Hurricanes winning by 2. Both teams lost last week but Highlanders were out and out the better performers. Hurricanes normally take a while to warm up in this competition, so it could go [...]

Well, what can you say other than WOW!
What a start to the season.
Highlanders went crazy against the Brumbies in the first 20 mins leading 19-0 with only 28% territory. Then their only All Black (Cowan) left the field with a sore finger (but mullet still intact) and they were lost in the wilderness for the [...]

Well I know I can get excited about the game, but thought I would start early with a quick review of week negative 1.
The missus is o/s on secondment in Hong Kong, which means I can dedicate more of my time to the game. You have to feel sorry for our new puppy though, the [...]

NZD 172,000 got lost on just 2 bets in NZ last weekend, according to Rugbyheaven.co.nz, when the Crusaders lost against the Highlanders.
One was on the crusaders at odds of 1.08 and another was on the double, Stormers\Crusaders.
TAB recorded their most profitable match since 1996.

Crusaders take on kiwi bottom of the table team. Everyone’s predicting a drumming, but against reasonable teams, the Crusaders have been relatively quiet. Reckon they’ll be nervous about injuries again and will be playing conservatively, whereas the Dunedin crew has nothing to loose. On that basis the 3.40-1, odds on Crusaders by less than 12.5 [...]

The Blues have the slimmest of chances of making the semi’s and this weekend will be crucial for them. Blues have an awful track record at House of pain, having only won there once before. Blues scraped through a great game last weekend against the reds, which won’t exactly fill them with joy. Highlanders have [...]

Our first up match is the big grudge match of the weekend, certainly in our household. Baba has a shark’s outfit plus Crusaders hoody and booties. Oh dear.
Although it rips my heart out to say, I can’t see the Sharks pulling a fast one over the Knights-of-the-odd-shaped ball this weekend unless the last 2 weeks [...]

God, what a distasterous start. Crusaders smashed by the Chiefs and now the Reds on fire to beat the spent force.
Brumbies get out the silver service for the Sharks at Canberra Stadium tomorrow and by all accounts it bound to be a close affair. Sharks have seemingly limped across the line each week and soon [...]

Continuing my theme of looking at Super 14 team wallpapers:
Hurricanes have managed to find themselves stranded in the middle of a vortex. It must be quite difficult conveying ‘a bit windy’ in a photo but they haven’t done too badly. Nice that they’ve not prejudiced and have included EVERY bloke from Wellington in the photo, [...]

Depending on your outlook it’ either a great weekend for getting good odds or a terrible one, where any side could win.
I’ve just added 2 new indicators to the Oracle , points for and against and that has taken its projections outside of the favorites for half the games.
Friday we have Highlanders v Lions [...]
