    The table is probably as perfect as it could be in order and points gaps.
    Clearly Blues and Brumbies to this point. Gap to Saders and Chiefs ahead of Reds and Tahs.
    Bottom of the table looks like an EPL relegation battle

    Out of curiosity is their a thread or location that lists all the injured or unavailable players per team? It appears there are a lot of players injured and it would be interesting to see which teams have been impacted the most. You could almost make an injured 15 to see just how many people are unavailable.

    I think the canes and landers will make the 8, then be out straight away. Pointless number of teams, they are nowhere near good enough to go any further, sadly

    it's not pointless, it generates meaningless games that fill the airwaves and generate revenue, both TV and ticket sales.

    But from a rugby perspective spot on, pointless

    @booboo said in Hurricanes v Reds:

    I'm kind of worried that we rate ourselves (NZ teams) so highly and Aus teams so low.

    But I've said that before and results continue to be one sided.

    Just reminder.

    Pride comes before a fall.

    Think our teams have misunderestimated ( 🙂 ) the Ockers.

    Further ... I'm thinking our top XVs are better than theirs (not unbeatably so, but all things being equal), but our depth or lack thereof due to Exodus, is being exposed.

    That team could challenge a few sides no doubt, seems the Chiefs have been hit hard in the backs.

    fair.
    Losses had a few second stringers -- but let's see results in a few weeks Some of the depth doesn't look strong at all

    I was about to post about those 2 obvious omissions. 🙂

    Having said that am reading a fair bit if triumphalism in Strayan Rugby Twitter.

    I'd urge caution on both sides.

    Fairly confident the final will be contested between the two teams starting with 'B' however home advantage will be key, I could potentially see the Brumbies pipping Blues in a close one if they're forced to travel to Canberra, McKellar's record at GIO stadium (and also against the NZ franchises) is impressive. Superior to any Aussie coach's record versus Kiwi teams since McKenzie & White.

    Call it arrogant if you will but I am not too concerned about NZ team performances over the last two weeks.
    We were deep into the comp after a diet of brutal derbies, Covid shuffles and short turnarounds with many niggles and injuries. The convict teams needed those home wins more than we did in many cases. What we needed was as many table points as we could muster while getting ready for the latter part of the RR and the finals.
    I think that the foot was slightly off the gas in many cases, saving fuel for the late laps.

    @Tim That is a bummer for the Reds, such a powerful player. He will be lacking some match fitness come the July Internationals.

    The sideline commentator seemed to be downplaying the seriousness of Tupou's injury on Friday night.
