Even if the Brumbies-Canes game isn't an eliminator, there's still plenty to play for.
Winner goes to ChCh with a (somewhat slim) chance of hosting the Final if they win.
Loser goes to Hamilton with no chance of hosting the Final.
I know which option I'd prefer!

They say momentum isn't everything, but winning is definitely more fun

So cutting the Rebels has had the effect of
Losing a game a weekend, but at least the ladder looks different.
The Brumbies are going to come 3rd
Every other Aussie team missing the finals.
Oh.
The Reds are in the finals.
The Reds improved massively, going from 5th last year to 5th this year.

I don't ask for much either - even if the Blues don't improve but just hold their last year's placing I'd be happy.

I tell you what if my Canes went out and said it doesn't matter if we win or lose as we still got a life, I would find it very hard to support them again.
Don't worry they won't say it, but they will be thinking it. It’s a very human thought.

I just don't believe any team would say the result doesn't matter. Winning is so much ahabit thing.

I actually think the Canes will go over there looking to win it no matter the results beforehand. They’ve won 5 in a row and will want to keep that running as long as they can.

What does a post by the Blues that Ardie responded to have to do with Rieko?
You are obsessed with Ioane.

@KiwiMurph Look at the comments on the post.
You might have to click into it.I’m not obsessed because the guy is way too polarising but it’s kind of all over social atm so hard to ignore. I’m just finding it hilarious tbh.
Moana will be saving that amo for next year.

Just had a thought, if all 3 top seeds lose, the Chiefs play the Blues again in the semi final lmfao.

I don't think so
The four teams would be:
1st Chiefs (lucky loser)
2nd Hurricanes
3rd Reds
4th BluesBut the 'lucky loser' drops a ranking. So the Chiefs would be 2nd ranked and the Canes 1st
Blues and Chiefs could play each other in the QF and Final though

It is funny how many people are annoyed at us being in the finals haha, we really do live rent free in a lot of peoples heads, and yeah, is there a player that cops more shit from fans in this country than Rieko Ioane?

I don’t think it’s the Blues living rent free in people’s heads LMAO, it’s more the fact certain players can’t stop saying dumb shit on social media and getting themselves in the spotlight.

I think people are more just disappointed that the Blues managed to fight their way back after such a poor start.
Can absolutely see them going all the way too.

Plenty of players cop as much shit as RI, some cop even more than he does. It's just different type of shit.

Come on, we ain't winning next week haha.
But us undeservedly being there is funny for the reactions. People love to pile on Rieko Ioane but no one bats an eyelid when Sevu Reece carries on like a tool. Wonder what the difference is?

In what world would the Canes be first seed? The Chiefs would drop a seed to second and as the crusaders were second, they're gone and the chiefs would still be the highest seed.
Chiefs 2
Canes 4
Reds 5
Blues 6Or have I read it completely wrong and the Chiefs still drop a semi final seeding spot as the teams are re-seeded?

Huh? Not the best example naming Reece. He gets criticised a fair bit for being a tool.

You can blame Nine/Stan for the playoff schedule. The Brumbies wanted to play on Sat afternoon to avoid a clash with an AFL game to be played at Manuka Oval. The Sat night time slot allows them to show the game FTA on Nine, while the Fri night time slot would only be on Stan. So it's all about maximising the Aust audience.
