    So cutting the Rebels has had the effect of

    Losing a game a weekend, but at least the ladder looks different.

    The Brumbies are going to come 3rd

    Every other Aussie team missing the finals.

    Oh.

    Tahs have gone from 2 wins last year to at least 6 wins

    They've gone from wooden spooners to having a chance at the playoffs in the final weekend

    It's harder to get into playoffs with 6 spots out of 11 vs 8 spots out of 12

    Aussie teams seem less shithouse, and Rebels were a fake, money losing team that should never have existed.

    On what games should be played first, etc in first week of finals? Should make no difference, I would expect every team to be trying to win anyway. shouldn't make any difference of other results.

    If 3v4 is the last game, and #1 & #2 already won their games, them both 3 & 4 are already guaranteed through before their game even kicks off.

    That’s right and it will likely be the case. With the Canes playing tonight and assuming they get the win, they would need to give the Canes 7 days to prepare so highly likely it will be Saturday night in Canberra once the other games have been played.

    Or they could play the game in the afternoon, so it’s before one of the NZ based games, however I doubt they will.

    The Brumbies winning would have made the QF draw easier as 3rd vs 4th could have been played first on Friday night (in Chch). I'd still play the 3rd/4th game on Friday before 1st v 6th (on Saturday).

    What does a number 2 spot mean for the Saders is this an extra lifeline?

    Of the losing teams next weekend the highest seed with survive

    So Chiefs can't get knocked out and Crusaders can only get knocked out if both Chiefs and Crusaders lose

    Based on what? Plenty of teams have had 6 day turnarounds this season.

    Chiefs had a 6 day turnaround between the final round and QFs last year.

    Brumbies will be 9:35 NZT Saturday I’m hearing- which is no great surprise.

    The Canes can risk it by sending a B team over but then if the Blues all of a sudden beat the Chiefs (which is unlikely) the Canes will be in the shit. I can see them starting their best side and then pulling guys at halftime which any team would do in that scenario.

    One step forward and two steps backwards for the SRP organisers.

    What’s the alternative? Have 8 teams in the playoffs? No thanks.

    Why are people thinking teams will roll out their B sides? The Canes won’t be able to do that because they can only travel with x amount of players and will have to leave by Thursday. The Brumbies can do it because they are at home I guess.

    I hope they don't if they pull players at HT fair enough that is smart protecting your players.
    I hope the Canes smoke the Brumbies to stick it up their whining boring fans.
    Something like 50 -0 would be great .

    Having a 6 team playoff is an improvement but it isn't hard to have the Brumbies-Hurricanes game on Friday too.

    The Reds will be the most disadvantaged team as they play last and then look to have to travel and play on Friday night.
