Rebels v Chiefs

KiwiMurph

@KiwiMurph In hot, humid conditions a week after a derby against the Blues, just after their return from South Africa. It will be very different in the finals.

Ok Crusaders fan.

Comedy Chiefs looked a piece of work tonight. Sam Cane though. Far out that chap can play footy. Likely 7th place to play who?

Stargazer

@Hooroo If the Chiefs finish 7th, they have to travel to Buenos Aires or Canberra.

Chris

@mariner4life hahaha talk is cheap

Tim

@Hooroo More likely 8th place.

We've buried the Crusaders and been mauled by the Sunwolves this season... it's not so much caution, as wondering what fresh paradise/doom next week might bring for this squad!

Chris

@Machpants maybe but I think we will be abit smarter and better than the Rebels will be a great game but Crusaders will win 😀

Chris

I still think we will play the Highlanders or Lions
As I reckon the Stormers and Bulls will win
Chiefs maybe in SF in they can beat the Jags

Stargazer

@Chris If the Crusaders and Hurricanes win their QFs, the semi will be between these teams. The Chiefs would be in the other semi.

Chris

@Stargazer wouldn’t it be 1 v 4 2v3
So if the chiefs beat the jags
Crusaders 1
Brumbies 2
Canes 3
Chiefs 4

Stargazer

@Chris No. It's winner QF1 (Crusaders v no. 8 ) against winner QF2 (Hurricanes v no. 5).

Stargazer

Chris

Strange format if the Brumbies and Jags lose
The second SF would be played at Hamilton yet they finished 7th if it goes that way

Stargazer

What I'm most afraid of, is that the game between the Bulls and Lions will be rigged. Like, instead of the Bulls smashing the Lions completely as they should be able to, the Bulls allowing the Lions a bonus point, so that the Lions make the finals instead of the Highlanders. I don't trust that lot over there.

Chris

@Stargazer no neither do I also be Rigged if the Lions look like winning they allow The Bulls to get a bounce point to shaft the Highlanders either way would not surprise me whose the Ref ???
