The biggest upset in Super Rugby this year losing by a distance against the Sunwolves.
What is clear is that the Blues does not deserve in the play-offs.

No, the Blues don't deserve to be in the playoffs but note that while they finished in last place on the NZ conference, they still ended the season with more points than the Brumbies who finished top of the Aussie conference (and they have only two points less than than the Hapless Stompies) . . . so don't dump on the Blues for being undeserving of making the playoffs which they rightfully didn't.
There are one or two other teams that come to mind when you consider who was undeserving of making the playoffs.

One or 2 other teams? Which teams should be in the playoffs ahead of the Stormers?

"Which teams should be in the playoffs ahead of the Stormers?"
Someone is sounding a bit sensitive! Where did I say anyone deserved to be ahead of the Hapless Stompies?

Who Doesent belong in the playoffs ahead of the Stormers lol.
But seriously. It was over 40 degrees. Clearly that had an impact on the Blues. They looked lethargic, tired, exhausted ect. No energy or any urgency. Sunwolves did.

The Blues have been pathetic for a number of seasons ... but would probably have whipped Fleck and his useless Stormers.
I see Fleck is already making excuses about not caring about the result of todays match.
What a pathertic excuse of a coach.

Rooi, you did not say so, you implied it. I don't like the structure of SR either and it is a bit unfair that the Stormers and Brumbies get to play at home, but I don't see any teams more deserving actually missing out of the playoffs.

I'm glad you like Fleck, Beeno.
You'll be competing for the wooden spoon next season with him at the helm.

PS, one could argue that the toughness of the NZ conference was softened up significantly by them playing the p!ss poor Aussie teams. Half of the SA teams are being significantly disadvantaged by not having the opportunities to hone their game against NZ teams.
