Yes the Reds will make the final. The best Aussie side easily IMO. They will also get an automatic home semi final against the sixth place finisher by virtue of topping the Aussie conference. (even if they end up in 5th or 6th place - depending on the Bull and Sharks games)

Force won the 2nd half.

McCaw playing very well at 8. Force getting reamed.

Touche

I hope the Saders don't do a Brumbies and choke.

Brumbies have choked.:)

Nonu seems to be coming back into form.

Blues...fortunately for Reds fans, are showing their backline talent and the Brumbies are defending poorly. Charles Piutau and Francis Saiili are exciting prospects.

Prediction - Force don't have snowball's chance in hell of winning this one.

All the games are relevant, but most look lopsided. Ironically, I think the most likely upset will the Hurricanes downing the Chiefs. The Canes have home advantage, Vito and Jane are back, and they continue to improve (having beaten the Saders in Canterbury 2 weeks ago) So I'd say the 1st game...

How did he actually go for the Ospreys? One must assume those hits he has done have slowed him down a lot. The second half of the highlights is the Ospreys - but it might be a few years ago.

Yes but Maitland, Mealamu and Kahui conduct themselves with a lot more class than Cooper has thus far demonstrated. I think he has great (thus far) unrealized international potential. A few things form my "trashy" image of him 1. Stealing the laptop. 2. Kneeing Saint Richie in the head while...

Cruden is most certainly not a "regulation 10". Both are yet to prove they can foot it at test level consistently. I think Cruden has a more steady temperament and his form for the Chiefs this year puts him ahead of Cooper for now. I'd pick him ahead of Cooper if they both played for the same team.

Rancid bait. Regardless, Carter and Cruden are better.:)

He might have been ahead of Nonu this year, though hard to say because in extreme pressure matches I feel he tends to do some weak plays along with some good. Definitely a big loss for the ABs. Aside from Nonu, it'll be interesting to see who steps up.

A rather funny remark I read on the Fern (sorry Tahs supporters) "The Tahs are like a black hole sucking all the excitement out of any game they play. "

The referee was Steve Walsh.

These are pretty interesting and high quality. Part 1 starts here: Though, they seemed to have started their own "brand"? Where's the hair gel? We'll see how they deal with Tamiefuna (or not) today.

I doubt the Chiefs will rest them because they may be overtaken by the Stormers if they lose to the Canes (who are no pushover - particularly at home) If the Stormers lose to the Cheetahs and the Chiefs are going to top the pool anyway - then they will rest them. As it is, they will get a...

A little harsh. The Brumbies are the up coming cool kids on the block. The Waratahs are on the other hand. I am hoping Cane outplays McCaw.
