Hi
Ok, so im going to be chastised a million times for asking this...
But can someone explain how the teams in 4, 5 and 6 work?
Who plays who to make it to the final is basically what im asking!
haha is that a guess? Or are you sure?
In my country you get beheaded for guessing!
Count me as headless
@Saf..
Im also not all that sure.
I hate this format.
Its pathetic that some teams dont even play each other!
Just go back to the old format please SANZAR!
It worked for 14 years (i think)
hahahah who the f is Osama Saddaffi!!!
F@*k this site has all sorts!
Agreed flash - the biggest floor is that conference leaders automatically qualify despite having less points than 4th and 5th placed sides - its a pathetic poorly thought out format
@flash dakota,
ok will use the current confernce standings as how the finals would work if played this weekend,,,
1 chiefs
2 stormers
3 brumbies
4 bulls
5 crusaders
6 sharks
in the first week of the qualifiers finals, 1st placed chiefs and 2nd placed stormers would have a bye for finishing in the top 2.
brumbies in 3rd place would then play the 6th placed sharks in canberra, while the 4th placed bulls would host the 5th placed crusaders in loftus (higher ranked team always getting the homeground advantyage).
and lets say the brumbies and bulls win their games.
in the semifinals, the chiefs would then host a game against the lowest ranked qualifier the bulls, while the stormers would host their match against the highest placed qualifer the brumbies.
then the winner of the semis would play each other, with who ever having the highest rank (rank being what u finished on the combined confernce before finals) hosting the game.
thats why its so important that the chiefs finish on top, cos i dont know if they have what it takes to beat either the bulls or stormers in SA.
