Chiefs v Reds 7/6 QF

Derpus

They've beaten the Chiefs already and won in Christchurch. It's entirely doable. Big shame Wilson is (i am assuming) unavailable. Any other notable omissions?

I wonder how many Super Rugby teams have travelled away to a different country and won a final. It must be a pretty tiny percentage. Home teams have a huge advantage ay this stage

To be fair I think he was the ref in the reds win over the chiefs earlier in the year.
That was at Lang Park though... I always find him to be too "visible"

Best refs are always the ones you have to remind yourself of at the end of the game...

Always wonder about the allocations, difficult with only Kiwi and Aussie refs to choose from but surely Aussie ref for a game in NZ and vice versa would make more sense?

For me it should be just the 4 best refs.

Curious, is there a home semi final and grand final on the cards for reds? Assuming we do get that far is there any possibility where there is a final at home? And if there is, would you guys expect a strong crowd?

It's possible but the rest of the finals will have to go against the higher ranked side so unlikely....
