I don't agree. Finishing in the top couple of teams in the regular season is a bloody hard achievement. In European football competitions they don't even bother with a knock out finals series because they know what a lottery it can be. The top teams should have the advantage of no travel as a...

Tragic news for the sand gropers. Not sure where this franchise goes from here.

So the final is going to be played in Hamilton right? That will be special.

We all know fringe Super Rugby playings need to have high quality games every week if Australian rugby is to move forward. Something like Bruce's concept is a must.

To continue slightly off topic, surely you can admit he is one of the best in the world... I can't remember the last time he was out played by a rival half back at international level.

Extremely puzzling decision by Link playing the world's best halfback out of position, especially when you consider there was the perfectly reasonable option of bringing Taps on at inside centre. Reds were supremely unlucky to lose two flyhalves in a week. Lucas further cementing his title as...

Who is the trigger happy mod that deletes half my posts? Ffs this isn't Syria.

Does anyone know the ratings for this?

Well for one it would reduce the likelihood of players such as Felipe Contepomi choosing club over country. Whether this is an isolated case we will have to sit back and see. I'm not saying having Argentiniens littered through Sanzar sides is ideal, but given the competitions current set up I...

A good reason for teams to pursue them. Heaven knows a few, if not all of our sides could use the odd Argentinean tight head. I know the argument is that these imports dilute the local talent pool, but at this stage of the game surely a select few would only help with the development of our...

I would prefer if Sanzar relaxed the import rules in Super Rugby so each side is free to sign an unlimited amount of Australians, South Africans, Kiwis and Argies. Whether the Argie players would start to leave their lucrative contracts in Europe behind in order to integrate with Sanzar is...

Flying to Japan every season on top of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is a bridge too far in my opinion. Does anyone think we will be in any position to add another home grown team to our conference in 2016? Probably not, but we need more teams in this country to compete with the other...

I have a feeling the Bulls could get done in spectacular fashion.

If I am not mistaken that doesn't effect the Reds too badly. They still need to win, and if they do they will qualify ahead of the Hurricanes based on win/loss ration. As long as one of two other results go their way that is. Can someone confirm this?

I realise the Chiefs are playing to win. Otherwise they would probably have rested a host of players. It's a cracker of a match by the way.

Chiefs continue to shit on the Reds finals aspirations. Canes looking like they might pick up a bonus point win against them.

Reds are just about done. It's unfortunate that one of the form teams with a potential win loss record of 11-5 will most likely miss out on finals footy but that's the nature of the competition.

I think the only semi realistic chance of the Reds making it now is for the Brumbies to falter over the next two weeks. Unfortunately the bonus point system has cost us dearly this year. In the end we have injuries and disastrous early season form to blame. Fingers crossed for the unlikely to...
