    @Stargazer right so might be a safe bet that the Chiefs are on Saturday considering they're at midnight our time and have to fly back from Perth?

    @Yeetyaah You'd hope so. If they look at who played when this weekend, it would mean that - if the table stays the same at the top - the Blues and/or Brumbies play their QF on Friday, and the Chiefs and Crusaders on Saturday. And if there's only one QF on Friday, they should pick the team based on when the opponent last played or have to travel from. But maybe there are also other factors like stadium availability, teams having other preferences or Sky's logistics, I don't know. 🤷🏽♂

    After Friday night's results only the 7th and 8th positions are yet to be confirmed.

    The Blues (3) will host the Waratahs (6), while the Hurricanes (5) travel to Canberra to play the Brumbies (4).

    A Force win should see them take 7th.
    A Drua win could see them still miss out if Reds get a BP

    Blues win
    Chiefs slaughter
    Crusaders win comfortably
    But a possibility of an upset in Canberra

    Possibility but hard to tell if we saw a Saders side going to sleep on a dead rubber or a good Canes side.
    Brumbies have lost a bit recently through injuries and seem clueless when their maul isn’t working.
    Definitely the toughest pick although Blues/Tahs could be interesting on the day. Blues fumbling their way along at the moment and the Tahs can be good for spells.

    @Crucial tahs were appalling last night, showed nothing to farewell hoops, opposite of canes.

    BBBR may pick apart brumbies maul, I can't see short ineffectual perpetual motion machine Blackwell doing the same!

    Brodie Retallick has become relentless at the cleanout and in defensive contact, and especially good at disrupting the lineout.

    Top saders will easily over come what will be an over excited Drua imo.

    Chiefs quite a team apart ATM, going in with momentum and depth

    @Machpants hadn’t seen Tahs game. Maybe I’m optimistic in hoping for a decent game

    Great. My canes earn a trip to the graveyard that is Bruce Stadium. Our record there is appalling

    They haven’t realised that the key to success at Bruce is to get the crowd jeering and booing.

    I hope that the Chiefs had a choice on what time they wanted to play on Sat as the top seed.

    By the way, that QF schedule is now also on the SANZAAR website.

    Waratahs v Blues and Canes v Brumbies might be tight contests. Tahs have strike power but are so inconsistent.

    If they didn’t drop the bonus point against the force and won against the drua they'd now be sitting 4th and you'd back them comfortably against the brumbies at home...
