S14 Round 12 Predictions
It is that time of the week again, when we venture out into the dangerous arena of Super 14 predictions. With Johan Greyling the runaway leader in our 'readers versus staff' prediction competition, the real race is now for second place.
Steve Farrell and Phil Coetzer have restored some credibility to the rugby365 editorial team and in joint second place their predictions for the weekend make for interesting reading.
Rudolf Mehl and defending champion John Granger still have a shot at a podium finish, holding joint fourth position just two points down from the 365 staffers.
Rob Peters have been joined by Hennie van Staden in sixth place and Jan de Koning is looking lonely at the bottom.
It is going to get interesting in the home stretch.
