I'm not too sure if you've all studied the play off structure but the top teams from each conference progress (4 teams) then the next best 3 from the Aus/ NZ conference progress and the next best 1 from the African conferences progresses. So essentially for the NZ teams the games against other NZ teams and the Aus games are the key ones to win. The Rebels are really looking like Aussie's only hope of getting a wildcard spot atm. Tahs are still in reach but don't want to get too far behind. Force and Reds probably too far behind now. Whilst the format of the comp is a bit fucked I reckon we honestly could see 4 NZ teams in the playoffs....Landers, Chiefs, Saders and Canes in the playoffs is looking more and more likely. So maybe the comp format isn't fucking us over as much as it has in the past? The Rebels pick up that 3rd wildcard spot from the Aus/ NZ conference but have played one more match than say the Canes who are 2 points behind....
I am with you 100% Fiery my online Chiefs Buddy. I have a small wager on them to win by 13+ Lets hope Sam Cane doesn't get a yellow card here.
Good Grief they are talking about Lowe again - I will chain myself to the front the NZRFU headquarters in protest if James Lowe makes the ABs - injuries or no injuries.
OMG - Jerome Kaino was catching him on the replay. What a pleb And a try. Charlie Ngatai you demi god you - what a try.
And that is why James Lowe Sucks Fiery. Chiefs hot on attack and James Lowe manages to get penalised for not releasing and a turnover.
