Bulls (40)to beat Lions no bonus point for Lions (35)
Stormers (38) to beat Sharks bonus point(34)
QFS
Crusaders v Highlanders
Jags v Chiefs
Brumbies v Stormers
Hurricanes v Bulls -
@Stargazer said in Super Rugby News:
However, none of the other wild card spots are certain, yet. Teams that are now outside the wild spots, can still finish in 5th-8th place, with the exception of the Sunwolves, although the Blues' and Reds' chances are merely theoretical.
I''m pretty sure that none of the Waratahs, Blues or Reds can make the play-offs - assuming that the first tie-breaker is number of wins.
If the Waratahs pick up five points, they move to 35 points, but are below the Lions on the tie-break rule - in seventh place against the current table.
But then I don't think there's a combination of outcomes of the Chiefs/Rebels, Stormers/Sharks games that doesn't push them to 9th.

@Stargazer Problem is - if the Rebels get no points then the Chiefs have to get four - and the Chiefs will continue to have one more win than the Tahs - even if they're tied on points.
I think the Tahs, and everyone behind them, are done.

One of the towering figures of world rugby, All Blacks and Gallagher Chiefs lock Brodie Retallick, has signed a new three-year deal with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and his Investec Super Rugby side which will see him take an extended break from the game in New Zealand before committing through to 2023. Under the terms of the deal announced today, Retallick will leave New Zealand at the end of the year and play two seasons in Japan’s Top League in 2020 and 2021, with an extended family break in between. He will then return to rugby in New Zealand in May 2021 and play through to the end of the 2023 season.http://www.allblacks.com/News/34254/retallick-signs-new-deal-to-extend-his-career

Wow Beaudy to the Blues. Big rumours coming through Radio Sport.
I will believe it when I see it.

@Canes4life Surely not. That'd be insane.

@Nogusta Insane, why would he go there.

Let the players decide where they want to play, don’t start telling them where to go.

Haha,
He's free to go wherever he wants.
Context is important in those posts. 2 Completely different conversations.... if Beauden grew up wanting to play for the Blues then I would have ecxpected him to sign ages ago.
