I would add that 12 is clearly Kerevi's best position.........

A bit of a handy selection headache to have next week........... Cusack, Valetini, Brown, Samu and McCaffrey.......... I'm thinking another 6/2 bench to squeeze them all in with Wright there to cover a few positions?

McKellar took on "some" of the forwards work, but ultimately I believe Fisher was still the forwards coach as well as defence coach.........

It's unfortunate, but to be fair up until a few weeks ago the conference was up for grabs and there was the possibility of more than one Australian team making it into the finals.......... Currently there's only 7 points separating 5th from 13th - the top 4 teams have really distanced...

It's looking like the Brumbies will now play either the Bulls or the Sharks depending on the last match........... If it's the Sharks, the Brumbies have the opportunity of completing a clean sweep against the Saffa teams.

Sharks now into the finals........ Rebels move down another position on the ladder.

On the flipside, I'm surprised they didn't go back and check the possible tip tackle on Higgers........... Nothing sinister in it, but it looked like the momentum toppled him over his head.

I didn't think they were implementing the new tackle guidelines for Super Rugby, but it definitely meets the threshold anyways............ Regardless of opinion on the use of arms - it was high, hence "near the head."

I think in the Du Plessis case he did have his arms out and even wrapped them around Carter............. In this case Tupou leads in with the right shoulder, his left arm is out but his right arm doesn't come up until after the hit.

It's that same angle that does get him for being high though............ But we'll have to agree to disagree about the arms - he doesn't really lift that right arm up until after the contact.

Yeah, I'm sure the referee and the TMO are that unprofessional..........

I got a little nervous after both Lilo and AAA went off, but glad they were able to finish the game off......... Tom Wright putting his hand up for a wing spot next year.

It was a yellow card at the least........ I don't think the ref did a great job communicating it.......... but it was definitely high, and I have to disagree with the opinion that there was an attempt to use the arms.

The massive scoreline has had two significant impacts............. The Chiefs have locked in a spot in the finals as their points differential is now above the Stormers. And the Rebels have dropped down to 10th, and could go to as low as 12th if the Sharks and Blues both win tonight...

It's OK, Hoiles suggesting we should only have three teams........... But if you cut the Brumbies, send all of their players down to Melbourne......... the Rebels still won't make the finals.

I was going to be a bit more diplomatic and say that Banks is definitely the better fullback............... But fuck it.......... when I take in overall skillset, I would have to say Banks is the better player.

But you've still got Maddocks there.........
