I think MMM got quite lucky, both on Sat night and at the judiciary. Entry point for a strike with a knee is 3 weeks but for some reason they used the entry point for general striking which is 2 weeks then applied a 1 week discount for clean record, early guilty plea and recalcitrant attitude.
Not long ago they would start with the entry point and then add weeks as a deterrent. Weird.

every non Canberrian will be barracking for the Force - Brums are done and dusted

The Judiciary process could be more clearly defined with a drunken Ethiopian accountant and a dart board.
Here are the results we need for the good of Australian rugby:
Blues beat Chiefs
Crusaders beat Highlanders with no bonus points
Sharks thrash Stormers
Then the Brumbies and Force get at least one point each - already have more wins than the Canes so that puts them ahead. Table would look like this:
Tahs
Sharks
Crusaders
Force/Brumbies
Highlanders
Brumbies/Force

I'll be there, the forecast this week is for roughly 10 degrees on Friday night - perfect conditions for the Force!

Shouldn't you be at Reds HQ putting in a SPA bath getting ready for the brand and his buggie smugglers..

Nah. Most non-Canberrans are hoping for a draw or bonus points each so that three Aus conference teams make the finals. I've analysed the posts on the subject over the past three weeks and only Reds supporters are hoping the Brumbies don't make it.

That's funny. I've always looked at the Highlanders as being NZ's Reds. Interesting too see the opinion of a NZer!
@BrumbyRunner this QLDer is hoping that both teams get through mate.

I think that is a pretty fair comparison. The Waratahs are definitely Australia's Blues. Or should that be the Blues are New Zealand's Waratahs?

Too funny. They'll be playing 10 a side before the game finishes.

Not this year. The Blues in their heyday always liked to kick for field position mixed up with great running. Sort of like the Brumbies at their peak, before the poison of jakeball. The Blues at their best with King Carlos and the Brumbies with Gregan, Larkham and Roth seemed to be very similar in style.
Today's Force and the Highlanders have some similarities. Traditionally the Highlanders style was to try to dominate in the tight five with a very dominant scrum and lineout. It was born out of playing on mudheaps in temperatures below zero. Now the Highlanders have their closed-roof stadium, that style has evolved and does look more similar to the Force this year.
The Waratahs this year are pure Randwick in style. They play a game that has its origins in the 1920's and before, but probably epitomised best with the great Cyril Towers, who spent his life teaching and promoting it after he retired from playing. Very few teams try to play it because its so hard to learn to play well, but once you "get" it, it is very hard to defend.
