The unions around Auckland were split up because of…

The All Blacks have named their team to take on an ‘injury-ravaged’ Springbok team in Wellington on Saturday. The side features Adam Thomson completing his full house of loose forward positions by being named at number 8. Dan Carter will start at fly half with last week’s number 10, Colin Slade moving to the bench. There is a reprieve for Cory Jane on the right wing, who gets an opportunity to prove the selectors wrong with his initial omission from the squad. Even after his heroics last week, Sitiveni Sivivatu drops from the 22. Brad Thorn continues…

Colin Slade makes his first test start at…

CHIEFS to beat Cheetahs by 11

STORMERS to beat Reds by 5

CRUSADERS to beat Force by 21

HURRICANES to beat Highlanders by 9

WARATAHS to beat Brumbies by 5

BULLS to beat Lions by 31

SHARKS to beat Blues by 9

My picks haven’t been worth the free internet space they have been written on the last two weeks. Hopefully Round 11 of the Super 14 bucks the trend. Despite dropping three All Blacks to the bench, I still think the Chiefs should take the Cheetahs. Sitiveni Sivivatu is back, and he is a huge player for…
