Blues are only playing so-so at the moment. They've been going downhill since they lost Toeava and despite the Eden Park hoodoo I think the Tahs are a good chance if they can get 15 half-fit guys on the paddock. In the other qualifier, the Saders look to be favourites to down the Sharks. That will mean a Reds - Waratahs semi, which will be awesome. If we have enough fit players then the game will be more intense than the final. The Tahs were filthy that they didn't get a result in Brisbane last time and will be out for vengeance on the scoreboard. The Saders have to play the Stormers at home, rested. That will be another very tough outing because the Saders travel well, but I'm tipping the Stormers in a close one.
So, if the Reds win the Stormers have to fly to brisbane and I think that they'll be done by the travel and Suncorp. If the Tahs beat the Reds then they'll fly to SA for the final, which I think just might be a bridge too far. My early season prediction that you HAD to finish first or second to be a realistic chance of winning is still looking good.
