At 11 off the pace, my Superbru is fubared.

Crusaders over Hurricanes: They will want to make sure that the winners of the conference only get decided by the very end. Not getting the full 5 here makes the Chiefs win.

Blues down to Chiefs: Chiefs won't care what the saders do - they're gonna edge the blues anyways to gain to top log spot, if only for a few hours.

Waratahs will do in Reds: I see the reds realising that the outcome of this match will not affect their standings at all and therefore (see above) they will probably be conservative in their play, staving off injury and strain, cos they know they won't catch the brumbies.

Force lose to Brumbies: but I don't expect a humdinger. Brumbies will do what is required, nothing more.

Stormers v Bulls: I think for this game, everyone is gonna go with their own team. The sakkies will choose province while the oxen okes will go for Bulls. Without a bonus pt win, the Chiefs will sit on 65 points. With 63 points, the Bulls would only need a draw to take the top spot. So, if chiefs fail to bonus,I say draw. If the get a bonus, I gotta go with my boys in blue.

The Reds I feel will not play negative rugby (they have to lose with more than 7) for them to go to 6th place and then have a date the Brumbies I feel they will go out and win to keep momentum, losing on purpose will be detrimental to their confidence going into a Brumbies game.

Bulls will pitch and that is going to be it. Don't see the Canes getting up for this game so I doubt they will be able to stop the saders and give the Reds that home ground playoff hope.

Saders by 10 points, Hurricanes blew it already last week against the Highlanders.

Highlanders by 5 points, Rebels must amalgamate with Force… there is no more talent in reserve.

Champs to trump Blues by 10 points, Blues will give everything but the last 20 minutes may be an end to their hope.

Reds by 10 points, another tough game…

Brumbies by 5 points, this is not a Force to be reckoned with, surprising results incoming.

Sharks, obviously…

Stormers by 5 points with a Fanatic crowd… or whatever SARU decides :whistling:

Saders not looking good...

EDIT: They won, but it could have gone to the Canes.

Highlanders delivering the walloping that the Crusaders should have...

Should move into 12th place, dodging the wooden spoon.

Picked Rebels on the outside chance that they pull it off. By the time it was 31 - 7 against them I had all but given up hope.

Well done guys, that was really something!

Wow, Reds Tahs I thought was a superb game of rugby. Only caught the 2nd half but technically some of the best rugby I've watched in a longtime. Reds defense immense, Tahs control through the phases prolific. Only poor goal kicking let them down. Sensational stuff.
