A very important game in the NZ Conference, in fact the whole competition.
If the Chiefs win they will almost certainly take the NZ top spot, it could also place them favorably to be in the top 2 globally.
If Crusaders win the NZ Conference will have 4 teams within 5 points of each other. That could mean a major fight amongst themself that would be like a civil war. They might self destruct.
SA Conf have high of 27 (Sharks) that could easily grow to 32 after this round and a low of 6 (Stormers), closely followed by Cheetahs on 9. Giving us a current spread of 21 log points.
Remember how we laughed at the poor Australian Conference last year?
They have the high of Brumbies 25 and low Rebels 16 a spread of 9 log points
NZ have a 8 point spread now, it could rise if the Chiefs win
It’s going to be a cracker as the Friday’s Blues-Canse surely was!
While our derbies already were decided by SARU, it’s not worth watching!
And then an advice from John Wayne to Ackers and Naka: ” Life is hard, it’s harder if you are a fool’

Good luck to all the Two Ocean runners today…especially to my daughter and son-in-law – they just Love Running… Go my GIRL…

Would be interesting to tally each teams log points won or lost playing intra conference vs inter conference to get an idea how each team is really performing.
@ Wallabie:
😆
Look at it from any angle you want Walla, fact is Sharks will end on top 😉
@ Hondo:
come now hondo. you must really have low standards if the canes vs blues was a “cracker”
@ MacroBull:

2 @ superBul: Good points there Bullmannetjie, no doubt that the Rabble & the Farce are the two most-improved teams in SR IMHO.
@ nortierd:
hehe good point.
@ BrumbiesBoy:
yep a lot you can improve after hitting rockbottom 😛
think the chiefs will struggle without cruden this year. no way they will defend their crown.
its so amazing that jak guildford got excluded from this crusaders squad. still feels so unreal.
Helllooooooooooooo!

Absolutely, when they expand the competition into two tiers sometime in the future the Stormpies will win “League 1” every year!!!
