@Canes4life Did they forget to circle the Blues games?
looking at the table perhaps they shouldn't have skimped on the circles.

I think the Blues just got lucky we were missing about 10 players when they played us.

As Donald said on his podcast yesterday, the Canes will shake up the competition if they beat the Chiefs on Saturday and it won't be just Canes supporters hoping that happens.

@Canes4life Canes not finalists at all, but might make the 6, to flakey, all the talk about , Higgins, Proctor, let's see it ,not once but next 6 weeks.

They are finalists atm, because they are 5th, and we did see it because we won in Canberra against a very good Brumbies outfit. 🤔 It was nice to finally get our A team on the park for once this season. Here's hoping it wasn't a one off and they do it again against the Chiefs.

This week, probably need to win, still got Reds away, Highlander's, well that's probably will happen, then Moana , nothing is certain,
It's not certain, I'm very well aware of that. But the season is in our hands now and we don't have to rely on other results to go our way.
-
@Canes4life win them all, same as the Blues both will be in, even Crusaders have a big run in, great comp. Positions will swap big time in the next 5 weeks.

I think the top two are almost gauranteed to be the Crusaders and Chiefs. I'm picking the Reds, Brumbies, Canes and Blues to make it. I just don't know which order it will be.
The Canes and Blues will want to get up to fourth because if they lose that quarter-final it doesn't necessarily mean they will be out of the comp.
-
@Canes4life yes that's my 6, what order who can tell, could be a bolter tho.
-
Looking at the remaining games, I don't think the Force will win much more and I feel the Tahs will have the same fate.
There are also a lot of cross over games between the Aussie sides in the top 6 so that will dictate where the Aussies end up. The Reds may fall down to 5th or 6th, but they could also climb into the top 2 if they win all their remaining games.
Everything to play for.
-
@Canes4life yeah I've studied the draw, I'm thinking the same, but we've all seen it ,bounce of the ball, referee, decisions, anything possible.
-
Canes team to play Chiefs. Kind of annoyed they dropped Gallagher to the bench, thought he played way better than what we've seen from IWL this year who's been a complete tit at times. I also find it odd they've benched Shields, we need his physicality at 6 against the big Chiefs loosies.

McMillan can't help himself with his changes. Another 6:2 bench.
That's some real strong forward impact from the bench for the Chiefs. Who plays 10 for you if Jacomb goes down?

Sititi.
Nah, it would be Stevenson.
Gallagher Chiefs Name Formidable Side to Face Hurricanes in Wellington - Chiefs
Gallagher Chiefs name team to face Hurricanes, with Rona replacing Lienert-Brown and Ratima, Jacomb, and Carter set to make a strong impact.
-
Yes hard to see Chiefs getting up against a full strength Canes loaded with starting AB lock-ins.
Good chance to see how Jacomb Tupaea and Ratima can direct a backline. Very happy Roe on the bench this week if they have to manage field position or injuries in second half.
Will be a big contest in the forwards.
