KEY POINTS:
Verdict so far: Key players out, chances missed, failure to close out the opposition, blah-blah-blah. Take your pick.
Biggest surprise so far: The 'Sifrican' sides - 'Shawks' and 'Beuwls'. At home they've always been strong, but they have travelled well. The Force, too - but with a Waikato man in charge, that's expected.
Hero: Lelia Masaga. He's always involved.
Zero: No comment. They'll find me.
Freeze frame: The Crusaders getting beaten by the Blues in week 1. Crusaders getting beaten by the Lions in week 3. And the Crusaders getting beaten by the Sharks in round 5.
My time: One change I would make to the Chiefs would be to introduce more red meat into their diet. As Pinetree might say: "They need to drink more."
In the national interest: I reckon Graham Henry has got it all sorted. You just stick to your plan Graham!! Don't listen to any "experts". Especially from the media. What do we know?
Top-four Or trapdoor: See my answer to Q4.
Champions: Sharks versus Bulls in Durban. Sharks to win. The Spingboks turn up to the World Cup completely burnt out, the All Blacks win the Webb Ellis, petrol prices drop and unemployment hits an all time low.
