I don't really mind if the points table on superxv.com isn't 100% up to date, the guy(s) who compile it have to sleep some time, but it pisses me off no end when it's wrong: they've got the Brumbies 2nd on 6 points & the Stormers 3rd on 8. WTF.
They've also got the Horrorcanes leading the whole thing, which we all know is just wrong in every possible way, an insult to the very laws of nature that will no doubt be corrected soon if not sooner ( sorry @Dan54, I just couldn't resist....), and may in fact already have been as the website states that:
"In the event of two or more teams being equal on competition points for any position on either the Conference or Super Rugby Standings tables, either during or at the end of the season, such position will be decided upon using the following steps until the tie is broken:
(a) Most wins from all matches;
(b) Highest aggregate points difference from all matches;
(c) Most tries from all matches;
(d) Highest aggregate difference of total tries for versus tries scored against from all matches;
(e) Coin toss."

On that basis, aren't the Stormers (2 wins, PD +23) 1st, Hurricanes (2,wins, PD +18) 2nd & Brumbies 3rd on 6 points?
PlanetRugby.com is no help, they've got Hurricanes 1st & Chiefs 3rd FFS.
ESPNScrum.com even less-so, table not updated AND makes reference to the 4-point bye that no longer exists. Foxsports.com doesn't even appear to HAVE a points table.
Old faithful stuff.co.nz has conference tables but no overall one.
Anyone out there got an accurate table?
