Granger sneaks into the lead

Defending champion John Granger has sneaked into the lead after Week Two of the 'readers versus writers' Super 14 prediction game.

Granger and rugby365 writer Steve Farrell top scored this week with nine points out of a possible 14, with Granger overtaking Week One leader Johan Greyling in the overall standings on 16 points.

Greyling is in second place a point back, but they are well clear of third-placed rugby365 writer Phil Coetzer - who is on 11 points.

There's also some kudos for Farrell, who is the only 'pundit' in this competition to get the result of all seven games correct - although his margins were not as close as he would have liked.

Standings after Week Two:
16 - John Granger
15 - Johan Greyling
11 - Phil Coetzer
10 - Rob Peters, Jan de Koning
9 - Hennie Van Staden, Steve Farrell
8 - Rudolf Mehl
