Last week my magical figure was 43 to qualify for a semi-final. After the win of the Reds yesterday that figure will remain. It may change after today.

The Hurricanes on 22 points can go maximum to 42, thus they need some friends to lower the magical figure. The Sharks and Hurricanes must start praying that the Brumbies beats the Waratahs.

Not a great possition to be in when you have to hope for results going your way.. But i think the number 43 would get you in the semi’s….

For my Sharkies and the other saffa teams, then hope the Landers and Brumbies win.

Okay out of here. Have to please my other half and go to the early morning movies. 😀

What the heck…! Exciting results. All I can say is that the results are good for the Bulls quest to finish top of the log. It is vital if you want to win the competition.
