Super Rugby 2014: Round 2 Results

Round 2 of Super Rugby 2014 has just completed at the Sydney Football Stadium. Here are the winners and losers from Round 2:

Chiefs 18 defeated Crusaders 10
Cheetahs 15 defeated Bulls 9
Highlanders 29 defeated Blues 21
Reds 27 defeated Brumbies 21
Sharks 27 defeated Hurricanes 9
Lions 34 defeated Stormers 10
Waratahs 43 defeated Force 21

The standout win of the weekend comes from the much maligned Lions line up, back in the Super Rugby competition after being relegated last year, who have now won two games in a row.

The Rebels had the bye. Round 3 commences Friday afternoon Australian time.

Shumpty’s Punt: Super Rugby Round 1 multi

For something new this season I have decided to put my money where my mouth is and back my tips published on pinkrugby.com each week in the form of a multi bet.

The rules of engagement will be simple: I will back exactly the teams I have selected in the preview each well and the wager each week will be $50.  Rather an muck around with margins and the like I will simply be backing the team I select in each game to be the winner.  i will keep a rolling tally of the profit from this enterprise on this blog each week.

This week is a short round of matches with only 4 teams in play.

I have selected the Cheetahs and the Sharks to be victorious tonight and as both are short price favourites the payout will only be $1.63 but still any return is a good return.

As always: good luck and good punting and please gamble responsibly.
