TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2025
-
Penultimate week of tipping - finals time in the teams comp so don't forget to tip https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit
-
The results are updated https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and the form is up for the final week of TSF Super Tipping.
It was a week where your score depended on whether you went home or away for the 2 games in Australia. Picking 2 away wins and 4/4 results were @Chris @Kruse @Laurence @sportboy Victor & @antipodean - Chris with the high score of 60 and Antipodean, Kruse and @Winger with 50 or more.
That has thrown the title race wide open as @hydro11 scored only 37 meaning that Winger takes the lead by 5 from Chris with Kruse 3 back and Hydro11 in 4th. Just 9 points cover those 4 so the title will be between them next weekend.
In the Teams comp, semi-final wins for the lowest ranked qualifiers South Island and the SunJags mean that they will meet in the final next week. The SunJags had one win back in 2019 and South Island reach their first ever final. Another choke for the minor premiers, BOP Chiefs who are still yet to win the title having reached 5 finals.
@Higgins is the TSF Sequel Cup winner after beating Laurence 79-78 over 2 legs in a real nailbiter. In the end it came down to an extra margin pick .

It's the final week of tipping so make sure you don't forget. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/
Given how close the race is for the title, I might do an update before the Saturday games

Final week already? I've left my run too late!

Scores updated after 2 games of 5. The Crusaders win could be critical as was the only one this week that was close to a 50-50 split of tips. Chris is 2/2 to move into the lead but only by a point from Hydro11 who picked both margins. Winger and Kruse picked the Brumbies and fall back.
For the final 3 games, all the top 4 pick home wins - it may still come down to category picks.
Chris 9-16, 9-16, 9-16
Hydro11 17+, 17+, 17+
Winger 17+, 17+, 17+
Kruse 9-16, 9-16, 17+In the final of the teams comp, the SunJags lead the South Island 15-12 as South Island are carrying 2 scores of just 2.

The season is over and the results are posted https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
The champion for the season is yet again @hydro11 winning his 4th consecutive Super tipping title and 7th title in all. And winning like a champion, picking every result with margin in the final week to score a massive 70 points. He pipped @Winger by 4 points, the Crusaders victory being the decisive moment as they had identical points from for Saturday. 3rd was @Chris who was punished for picking closer victories on Saturday.
Rounding out the top 10 were @Kruse in 4th, Langakali & @taniwharugby shared 5th, @Laurence in 7th, @sportboy in 8th, I finished 9th and @Dolamite & @gt12 shared 10th.
Best weekend score was 72 for both TR and Victor, a season's best in the final week. Chris picked the most results correctly, 57 out of 76 and Hydro11 picked most margins by quite a distance, 28 maximums during the season.
The new champions with their first title since 2019 were the SunJags - well done to @kruse @Joan-and-Mary Richie, @gt12 Boof and occasionally @NTA who didn't turn up for the final. It was a comfortable win over South Island by 46 to 37, @gt12 with 63 the key and well supported by @Joan-and-Mary with 49. No score higher than 44 for South Island but a good season for them overall.
Taking a spot on the podium were Blues A, thrashing BOP Chiefs who fell apart at the business end of the season. TR and @george33 powered the victory for Blues A. The remaining placings were
5th Barbarians
6th Hurricanes Black
7th Hurricanes Gold
8th Blues BThanks to everyone who stuck with it all season, especially those that were out of contention. See you all at the end of July for NPC Tipping.

Left my run too late...
Cheers as always KP!!

Thanks for running it KP, I admit to knowing I was gone early, and perhaps the last 2 weeks I picked teams I didn't want to win to put hoodoo on them. But that was in no way why I was down near bottom, I got to point I reckoned if I was tried to pick my nose I would poke myself in eye. Congrats of course to @hydro11 (Hurricanes Black team mate
), well done mate, this was in my mind a genuinely hard season to pick. -
Cheers KP. I think I'll start placing best based on @hydro11's tips.

Needed to give everyone else a chance
