Country pubs for the win in South Island. Ranging from cheap-and-basic-as-fuck to expensive-and-'charming'-as-fuck.

The simple life of not getting lost walking around corridors. Old school keys. Being able to open windows and not having the shame of walking through a reception area.looking like death. Give me a motel any day

Interesting quarter finals for the Chiefs and Brumbies?
In week one of the Finals Series, Qualifying Finals will be 1 v 6, 2 v 5 and 3 v 4 with the higher-seeded teams to host
The three winners of the Qualifying Finals will progress to the Semi-Finals
They will be joined by the highest-seeded losing team (the ‘lucky loser’), who will drop one seeding for the Semi-Final draw
Semi-Finals will be 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 with the higher-seeded teams to host -
I'm going to guess this:
Pos Team Pts 1 Chiefs 51 2 Crusaders 51 3 Brumbies 44 4 Reds 41 5 Hurricanes 36 6 Blues 36 -
The Chiefs have been so fun to watch this season. It's a very humble and likable team and coach. I liked MacKenzie's comment after the match when JW said that was a physical game he replied "every game is physical for me".

Hearing the Ofa Tu’ungafasi injury could possibly be career ending , has a neck injury similar to the issue that ended Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff ‘s career which left him with severly reduced neck rotation
Lets hope we see Ofa back on field sometime in the future but if i was totally honest as a father i would be advising him to pull the pin
Has anyone else heard similar whispers ? -
Spotted Ofa in public a week or so back, had a neck brace on (obviously).

Fk I love that sort of coaching aye. No need to raise the voice, no need to lay down the law, just a very subtle way of getting a message across to his team. Definitely worked this week.

Has anyone else heard similar whispers ?A few millimetres is the difference between full recovery and retirement.
But safety absolutely paramount.
Exceptionally likeable bloke.

@Chris-B Chris I've been placing all my spare change weekly on Davey to lift the super trophy hope he and the lads don't let me down!
Don't bet anything you can't afford - especially until Will is declared fit.
I'm expecting the Chiefs to win - but, it's a season where away from home victories could easily happen.
Wouldn't surprise me if the Canes won.
Anyone in the six is a chance.

I doubt that the Blues can win from 6th (assuming they even make it), but they have a team of guys who are starting to look a lot better now that they have a starting HB directing them. It should be a cracking finals series and I actually don't expect us to win, there are just too many hard games, which makes for a great comp.
