Dylan Cleaver is happy to eat humble pie following Tana Umaga's successful return to New Zealand rugby with Countie Manukau in The New Zealand Herald.
"Tipping results in a public forum is a bit like a pub quiz. You give it the fist pump when you get one right, but mutter an exasperated, "Of course, if I'd thought about it a bit longer," when you've wrongly nominated the Matterhorn as the tallest mountain in the Alps.
"So let it be known that in last week's Super Sport, Southland, Wellington and Auckland all got the fist-pump treatment. A few didn't, most glaringly Counties Manukau versus Otago.
"Unless Counties can get their hands on the ball they will lose heavily ... Otago by 8," was the gist of it. Actual result, Counties 29, Otago 13."
