This long and uninteresting season has finally ended and now we head into the Play-offs. I would have been a really excited seeing 3 SA team make it, but I don't feel that optimistic. 
I don't even know if the Stormers will make the final and whether we will have 2 SA teams knocking the 1 out of the Semi. 
In all honesty. I think their should have been at least 4 Kiwi teams and 3 SA teams and maybe an ausie team but none of the Aussie teams deserve to be there. 
Now, we have to suffer through 3 weeks Russian roulette on which team will have to do a daunting travel. 
I also think that the Kiwi teams look better because they were playing against in a very poor Ausie conference. 
Can't wait for them to clean up this mess. 
I wonder whether some of the SA teams heading north will put the cat amongst the pigeons and make them realise that the original format is best. 
Both NZ and SA have lost their local tournaments all at the expense of this horrible format that only serves Australia. 
SA need to re-invest back into their currie cup, get rid of the meaningless congress matches. We want to see our boys play against the best of NZ and Australia.

And the Lions look better. Because of weak SA opposition and only playing kings and wolves. What's the diff. To say MX havecatvessier. When Blues had to fight in the NZ conference. Abs still have more points then Stormers Brumbies. I don't think they had it better at all.

You have to give the lions credit, they ended up second last year playing against NZ teams. I think the stormers beat both the chiefs and the blues. The sharks also beat the Hurricanes last year at home. I think that a super 8 between the 4 best teams of SA and NZ would be a far better contest. Would love to see a home and away games with NZ having to do a long tour of playing 4 games on the trot.
