Impressive Tahs win.

Tahs might now avoid Crusaders in a quarterfinal.

Still be tough. Get rid of Ryan and have our starting side back, we might go places

Watched the last 20 and the Highlanders looked truly woeful.

Looks like they'll be without Gilbert for the rest of the comp too. Good chance for the Rebels next week and a very comfy QF for the Blues coming up.

Fuck sake Landers, you don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

That's unfair. We are clearly the 8th or 7th best team in the comp.

The fault is with the comp. A 12 team comp should not have 8 playoff teams. 6 at most.

Yeah it’s a bit silly isn’t it. I hope they rectify for next year.

How about 6 teams.
1 v 6
2 v 5
3 v 4

Three winners plus highest ranked loser in the first round goes into semi final.

Or you could do top 6

Top 2 get a bye round 1.

Then semis - final

Don't really like those byes, keep all teams playing.

Yep looks like they get Brumbies. Reds have to probably play Crusaders 2 weeks in a row at Christchurch.

Gregory almost stuffed that, putt your head down boy!

Looked like he was running in gumboots. But was hobbling running back after scoring and heavily bandaged knee. So perhaps explains.

@NTA thanks 👍

15-25

Tahs have mostly gone to sleep bar a couple of breaks

15-32 first tahs win in NZ since 2014

Deserved

[Damo]

When was the last time an Australian team won in NZ?

A couple of weeks ago in Hamilton.

Chiefs got spanked by the Brumbies.

[Canes4life]

Tony Brown with a fair reflection of his team after the win. Pretty poor way to send off your coach and your third most capped player of all time.

@Machpants only concern with that is that the broadcasters love more ‘finals’ because they rate higher and they can sell to advertisers.

Yeah it's never going to happen but the comp would be much better
