lets look at the possibilities as to the top of the lof teams and see what can be expected in the said games:-
Chiefs vs the Hurricanes - we will see that in SA on Friday morning already. I think it is a crucial game for both the Chiefs and the Hurricanes. if the Chiefs loses - they would be off the top of the combined log and if the Hurricans loses they will not make the coveted number 6 position on the log and consequently out of the play-offs. To remain on top of the log - the Chiefs have to score 4 tries or otherwise win and hope that the Stormer do not score four tries against the Rebels. I think the Chiefs by 10 points - but not scoring the required four tries.
Stormers vs The Rebsls - The Stormers are slowly getting some players back from injury - but none in this game. The Rebels lost ftwo of their top players as a result of injury. The Stormers to win by 20+ points, with the equired four tries scored.
Crusaders vs Foirce - I cannot see how the Crusaders could lose this one - miracles can happen, but not in this case. The Crusaders to win by 30+ points and bags a bomnus point in the process. Home play-off game expected.
Bulls vs Lions - This one is the same as my comments on the Crusader - Force game. The Bulls are in for a visit to Christchurch for the nexxt weeks play-offs.
Reds vs Waratahs - A crunch game for the Reds. They have to get a bonus point and hope the Sharks do not get one against the Cheetahs. The Waratahs have been poor this year and I think the Reds will win by 10 points - but not get the four tries required.
Sharks vs Cheetahs - The Cheetahs was a shambles afainst the Bulls - but played well in very poor playing conditions against the Stormers - the conditions perhaps be the leveller. I think the injured Sharks players (Lambie and Jordaan) will be back and that would be of great help to the Sharks. The Sharks to win by 15+ points and get the bonus point required.
Forecast by other members will be appreciated.
