Super Rugby Semifinals
Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry that my travelling was such that I couldn't send out the last three weeks of predictions. I last sent Round 15 where all 9 of my favourites won.
The top 4 of my computer-rated teams are the 4 semifinalists. The Hurricanes and Chiefs are paired and have nearly the same ratings. The Lions and Highlanders are paired and also have about the same ratings. The predictions come down to home advantage which is a bit higher for international matches than for domestic matches, which is why the Hurricanes are favoured by 3 in an all NZ match whilst the Lions are favoured by 5 in a SA-NZ match up.
Good luck with the two semis. These should be two great matches.
