@kiwimurph shaping up to be the match of the round and agreed, it's a big test for MacDonald and the Blues.
Win with a BP, and you can almost lock in a final.
Win with no BP and you're into PD with Crusaders to host the final (assuming the Canes don't pull a massive effort against the Brumbies and Reds out)
The final will be such a step up on the comp it won't be funny.

I'm not even contemplating that scenario ...

The whole thing with Pierce is a bit puzzling, while it is clear Darry has some talent, Pierce would have seemed a more logical choice to me.

Pierce is in the 23
