@kiwimurph yeah it’s hard not to look at those moments now and ask what if.
My QF picks:
Hurricane
Crusaders
Highlanders
JaguaresTwo for two so far.
We should have just tipped all the home teams.
In hindsight, me tipping against the Canes with Jacko in charge of things was madness - even if he is an ex-Chief.
Under pressure he was always bound to revert to what he knows!
Next round I'm tipping the Crusaders and the Lions.
I can't see the Tahs traveling to SA and winning at altitude and I can't see the Canes doing that either.
So, it is my belief that all right thinking NZers should be supporting the Crusaders on Saturday!

One of the few good things to come out of the Highlanders loss is no real travel for some key ABs. Everyone has been a short flight from home.

If the Crusaders beat the Canes this weekend, I would love to play the Tahs in the GF and get some payback from the Joubert debacle in Sydney a few years ago....

so if the HUrricanes get up and beat the Crusaders, do they host the final having more points than the other 2 teams?

Nope they're 4th on the table, so will travel whomever of the Lions and Tahs wins.

I wish I could 'unlike' this.

@machpants ah ok, I thought there had been changes to the finals to make them 'fairer'.
For my mind, after the quarters, it should have been reshuffled to log tables, so that would mean Crusaders-Tahs
Canes-Lions. -
Seems about right, two best NZ teams, best aussie team and best saffer team. Best of the rest plays best from NZ for the title.

Very poor crowds for all 4 games.
Cake Tin looked the fullest.
Yeah only 9,000 in Christchurch apparently. Looked pretty ordinary from where I was. Mind you, it was pretty cool and windy enough that the big screen couldn't be craned up for use (there's yet another reason to get moving on the new stadium), and when most of the locals assume we're playing at home again the next week it's not the most encouraging circumstances to get along.

12,067 at the Tahs v Landers game.

Edit: this might mean that Angus Gardner gets the final.
As long as it doesn't also mean that Ayoub is TMO. I'm hoping that he has been dropped for being an interfering asswipe.
Mind you, who was the twit in the Chiefs/Canes match? Ref couldn't see a try, TMO says 'I can't confirm either so award it'. The try that no one saw. -
The Tahs are fucked.
