Am I right in thinking this will be the third year in a row of a semi-final between the Blues and Brumbies at Eden Park?

Nah, last year was against the Chiefs…

What was the game where Ardie Savea thought he had scored right at the death to win the game but was denied?

 

[zer0]

So, if I have this right, this is the Blues + their crippled locks vs. the Brumbies + their crippled props?

Confirmation that PatT's Super Rugby season is over:

"Tuipulotu tore the medial ligament in his right knee early in the Blues’ quarterfinal rout of the meek Fijian Drua at Eden Park on Saturday night, forcing him off the park after 20 minutes."

Confirmation that Tuipulotu's Super Rugby season is over. If the HIA period is still at least two weeks then that means no Darry as well and a nervous wait on McWhannell.

Looking at Patrick Tuipulotu’s expression as he sat on the bench at Eden Park was rather telling.

And so it proved, with confirmation on Sunday the Blues’ captain will miss the remainder of his team’s Super Rugby campaign with a knee injury.

Darry and McWhannell are both good to go. Not that I rate Darry very highly.

The confusion on 2 weeks is the mandatory break between playing is 12 days enforced by World Rugby. Which effectively is one game.

This is from earlier this season

Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan confirmed to the Waikato Times he must now stand down from playing for 12 days, as per World Rugby regulations.

See the Blues fans getting there excuses in early..

That be a nice send off in front of his home fans, he can have one last game for the blues at home. Then fly off to Japan straight after Mad Monday.
