Reds are one from four.
Waratahs are three from five.
Brumbies are three from five.
Rebels are two from four.
Force are two from five.
What is all this telling me? Well besides from the Reds being crap it’s saying there is no dominant team in the Australian conference. Now it’s great for Australian rugby’s depth but is it good for our Super Rugby chances. While we’re all taking points off each other are we actually limiting the number of Aussie teams in the finals?
There are a heap of people much smarter than me looking at the Super Rugby table. What do you think?
