Finally someone posted all the info. Strangely it was the Blues website:

Not so strange, considering it was the Blues who missed out on the SRA final based on number of wins, and many of their fans being outraged about it, because they thought it was based on points differential.

@stargazer

Who was outraged?

[Stargazer]

@duluth As a I said, many Blues fans. I'm not talking about Ferners, by the way. I've seen a huge number of posts on social media. Even the Blues' own accounts were quite salty about it.

Seemed perfectly fair to me.

Not like it was a boundary countback or something.

You thought this was serious??

[Stargazer]

@duluth No, of course not.

anyone got a link to the points system,a nd how the finalists will be decided?

There is a final at the end of the five-week competition. The leading team has the hosting rights against the second placed team of the 10 competing clubs.

It might be two Australian teams in the final, or two New Zealand or one of each.

Points are as usual – 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw (there is NO golden point extra time). The bonus points are 1 Point for scoring a minimum three tries more than your opponent; and 1 Point for a loss by seven points or less.

If teams are tied on points, the team to advance will be firstly decided on the side with the most wins in the competition. If still tied it will go to the points for and against differential. In the unlikely situation that there is still a tie, then it will be decided on the side with most tries in all matches; then the differential of tries for and against in all matches, and finally a coin toss.

Not so much the refs, but neing Kiwi vs Ozzie makes it 5 games I have to watch this weekend, awesome!

[Bovidae]

I thought that they may have used only home refs in each country to reduce costs but Pickerill got himself a trip.

[Derpus]

@kiwimurph oh yeah. Not sure why he hasn't been reffing more games. Agree he's our best.

[Nepia]

I hadn’t thought until just now how tanked my weekend will be - 5 games of rugby and 1 game of state house rugby to watch.

Good times.

Apparently recovering from an injury.

Tbh, propably also useful to take some time out and freshen up the mind. Some games in his previous stint he just seemed to be overreading things.

But agree that at his best, he's top pick.
