After waxing lyrical and managing to mention a sedimentary basin in his winning entry, VP Structures product manager Darren Hoskin wins tickets to see the Queensland Reds play the Western Force in Brisbane.

"Reds versus Force, umm… I wonder,

Reds at Suncorp will plunder

The Force from yonder the Cooper Basin,

And a try by Cooper, Quade, not Basin, hastens

The Force asunder."

Umm… I wonder. Perhaps he meant to write, "Reds at Suncorp will blunder, Queensland fans will chunder." Anyway, enjoy the game, Darren, and never lose your quaint optimism.

In Sydney, Weir Services Australia marketing and communications officer Megan Haines is picking the Waratahs to beat the hapless Lions of Johannesburg. "Waratahs will win, because they have finally found form!" she writes.

And in Canberra, Geoff Hawke of the Department of Veterans Affairs is picking the Brumbies to beat the Sharks and George Smith to score the first try.

Congratulations Darren, Megan and Geoff. An Investec representative will get in touch to arrange the delivery of your tickets.
