All very good pointers from Tony for the virtual rugby & also for the real games asd well! Point #3 works very very well, also the scores will in general by very close.

Also check out this link: http://www.allblacks.com/stats/superrugby/ Its a Statistics engine and very helpful.

this is virtually the best idea I've seen in a long time....

Can't wait to pick ABs by 13+ against England in World Cup final. Choo CHOO!!!

Congrats Blues. That is how rugby should be played. Hard and fast. Take note other Super Rugby sides. The easy to beat teams in the Aussie and Saffa conferences will make it near impossible to have two NZ teams in the Top6 Super Finals, which is a major flaw in the new Super Finals system. They should have Top 3 teams of each Conference qualify for finals, which would be a fairer finals system. The nine-team finals system is The top team in each conference would have two home preliminary finals with a one-week rest before their 1ST preliminary final. The 2nd placed conference team would have one home preliminary final and one over seas away preliminary final. The 3RD placed conference team would have two away over seas preliminary finals. The top three teams of the preliminary finals would qualify for the semi-finals with the two teams with the most combined points in the Super Competition and preliminary finals getting the home semi-finals. The second placed team in all preliminary conference finals that has the most combined points in the Super Competition and preliminary finals would be the fourth team to qualify for the semi-finals. The winner of the semi –final that has the most combined points in the Super Competition and preliminary and semi- finals would have the Home Final. Perhaps the bottom two teams of each conference could have a home country 3-game Wooden Spoon play-off.

Thanks for trying to explain TTT but got lost after "two home preliminary finals". As a Hurricanes fans I usually picked them to win....sigh......so not very good at this game.

bragging rights! my friend finished 3 about 5 years ago and still goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about it...
