As it now stands...please...after Jag/Shark game.
Thanks...cannot find any sensible or straight forward answer from anybody or any site...seems confusion to this illogical conference system.
Hi Chabal. Only have my phone now so bit of a pain to correlate the current standings, but at the bottom of the article I link to below is an explanation of how the QFs are determined, which should help you figure it out.

Basjan, the teams that win goes thr ough. The losers are out.
Thanks...I worked it out only to find it this morning...an illogical format but nevertheless an interesting one...
Super Rugby 2018 quarter-final fixtures (home team first):
Friday, July 20
Hurricanes v Chiefs - 09:35
Saturday, July 21
Crusaders v Sharks - 09:35
Waratahs v Highlanders - 12:05
Lions v Jaguares - 15:05
Watching the Saders versus Blues yesterday and then the rest of games they stood out head and shoulders...the most effective, balanced and good ball handling skills...the Lions/Bulls and Sharks/Jaguars games looked untidy and second rate compaired...be that as it may, they will have to up their game, that is the Lions,Sharks and Jaguares to stand an iota of a chance but maybe it will go the same way as the Fifa World Cup...sporting upsets are welcome.
Crusaders are happy for all the obvious reasons
Lions,Waratahs & H'canes are happy with their home fixtures
Chiefs are happy cos they beat the Canes
Highlanders are happy going to Sydney rather than Joburg
Jaguars happy not to travel downunder
Sharks happy squeaking into the playoffs
Bob after the walloping the poor sharks got at the hands of the Mighty Stormers many now will regret the said Stormers are not in the quarter finals!
Yep, about making people happy. Except one of the most deserving teams this season.
Terminate rugby in SA. It hammers the developpment of rugby in places that deserve it.
