    @Higgins

    I gave up as I always forget to put my tips in.

    That's kind of ok as an individual but untenable if I'm letting down others in a team.

    On that basis I rule myself out and I'll sit back and watch.

      Still plenty of space in some of the teams to fill up to their full muster of six. Sme of these maybe/should be interested in joining up in the worlds best tipping competition where there are both individual and teams component.
      Regulars/last years tippers still to decide on their tips include
      Northland @FarNthHayden @Gunner @justin77
      Harbour/Auckland @dice @tim @caprice @Virgil
      Counties/Waikato @yeetyaah @Hooroo
      Bay of Plenty @sportboy @bayimports @Cactus-Jack @KiwiPie @trooa
      Hawkes Bay @Stargazer @propsicle @billsy
      Wairarapa Bush @victor @buck
      Wellington @Winger @laurence
      South Island @Corkscrew @Smudge @Kiwiwomble @Phooey

      https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

      If some teams are full you will be allocated to another to fill up rosters that might need another tipper, or even the possibility of having a another team like Wellington Development formed if enough want to tip for Wellington! If you were in that boat last season you obviously elect to tip for your preferred option naturally. There is also the individual component as well that also creates a lot of interest.

      Others that might want to take the plunge include the likes of @Bovidae @Dan54 @kiwimurph @ACT-Crusader @Daffy-Jaffy @Duluth @booboo @canefan @antipodean @Machpants (Bush might be needing you as both myself and the captain - Waynes World have yet to locate Buck) @MN5 @Number-10 (we seem to struggle to get a 6th tipper for our HB team!) @kev @Pepe @foobaNZ @gt12 @shark @george33 and many others out there that are not listed.

      With the lockdown over in Aus there might be a bit more interest from expats over there that will have more time to follow and watch the games (on Stan I believe) so they can have a slightly better idea on who teams are going and thus making picking winners a bit easier. If in doubt you can always use the blindfold and stick a pin in method! Anyway give it some though and get your tips in by 7.05pm NZ time tonight (or if you miss that you can still tip for the remaining games)

              Good to see at least three Saffas tipping this year so there is no excuse for anyone from Aussie (or anywhere else for that matter) having a go! Tips from the following received so far
              Northland: MuddyRiver, TaniwhaRugby, FarNthHayden, Gunner, Justin77, One still needed
              Harbour/Auckland: DK, Fiamacho, Andrew Farrell, Dogmeat, Two still needed
              Counties/Waikato: Mikedogz, Crucial, OomPB, Unite, Hooroo, One still needed how about @OleOleOle ????
              Bay of Plenty: Donsteppa, Bayimports, Sportboy, Three still needed
              Hawkes Bay: Delicatessen, PAJ, Stockcar86, Higgins, Two still needed
              Wairarapa Bush: Waynes World, Triple T, Langakali, Plastered Peni, Victor, One still needed
              Wellington: Hurrycanes, Richie, Canes4Life, Mikey07, Hydro11, Laurence, Roster fill but still enter for Wellington if you want as KP will make the final determination as to the starting lineup
              South Island: Broughie, Stag, Four more still required
              Individual: Joan & Mary, Jonathan Wiltshire, Kruse, Antipodean, Kiwimurph, Still room for plenty more Remember cut off time if you want to be in for every game is 7.05pm NZ time. Miss that time you can still tip for the remaining games

                  @kiwiwomble Like we all hope we can do at the start of every tipping season you might come good this time round, just like your Otago team promises to do. Plenty of room in the South Island Team for you.

                    Please those of you prevaricating because your worried you might forget to tip. Give it a go. Then forget. You're all that keeps me off the bottom every year

                      @higgins Happy to join Auckland tipping team. Should probably run that decision by @dK @dogmeat etc. who can review my tipping prowess (or lack thereof).

                          Sorry @Higgins I'm out - don't know how much of it I'll be able to see, so will definitely end up letting the side down.

                          This year I don't think I even managed Super rugby tipping...

                                  Just processing the tips and sorting into teams. Absentee tippers who are regulars are @Virgil & @Smudge but all the others appear to have returned which is great news.

                                  New tippers are Andrew Farrell & Jonathan Wiltshire - welcome. There is a Facebook group you can join which has reminders to tip if you're more likely to see it there rather than here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/590271681147113

                                    All live now for Week 1 at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

                                    Hooroo is the early leader by 7 points after a superb score of 61, only missing the first result and nailing both category picks (Wellington & Northland for high and low score). Antipodean is 2nd with Stargazer in 3rd. Hooroo, Antipodean, Mikedogz, OomPB and Cactus Jack all picked 6/7 results. The fact that the first 4 of those are all in the Counties-Waikato team means they top scored for the round. At the other end of the table, only 22 pts for Andrew Farrell, Delicatessen & FarNthHayden.

                                    Wins for South Island, Counties-Waikato, Bay of Plenty & Wellington in Round 1. South Island picked up the only bonus point for getting 3+ maximums more than their opponent (Wairarapa Bush) and so they are the early leaders.

                                    48 tipped in all so they all slot nicely into 8 teams and all teams have 6 tippers. For those who chose Individual I have assigned you a team - you can see which team it is on the Leaderboard.

                                    The form is live for Week 2.

                                        Just processing the tips and sorting into teams. Absentee tippers who are regulars are @Virgil & @Smudge but all the others appear to have returned which is great news.

                                        @virgil C'mon Virgil you can still do it. Form fluctuates and you have your good weeks and your bad weeks, no better example of this than the likes of @kiwipie who had a bit of a toe stubbing first time up!!!!!

                                          Tipping half the time but not overthinking it sounds good enough for a Top Ten finish.
