@Machpants said in Super Rugby 2023:
Blues win
Chiefs slaughter
Crusaders win comfortably
But a possibility of an upset in CanberraPossibility 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!
One last banquet awaits 'Guzzler' at the Rugby World Cup
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

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.

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...

Mate I a one eyed Canes man too, but to be honest, if we can't beat them there, we not good enough!!
I backing the boys to do it, bottom line is both teams on same field etc!

@mariner4life Another way of looking at it is
Last year the gap between 7th and 11th was 23 competition points.
This year the difference between 7th and 11th was 5 competion points.
