Reds to beat the Crusaders on Friday, Chiefs to throw their game on Saturday to eliminate the Crusaders and still retain top spot. Don't care about the other game.
Lol if that happens and the Canes win you’ll play the Blues again in the semi.
We would then host the Reds.
Can’t see it happening.

Ioane getting cocky because he scored three tries against a weak Tahs team to make him look good.

There's many things you can rightfully say about Ioane but getting cocky is not one of them!

If that happened the Chiefs wouldn’t be ranked 1st out of the remaining 4. They drop a ranking to 2nd. So the Blues and Chiefs would be in different semis

No it wouldn’t because both the Crusaders and Brumbies would be out. So the rankings would go Chiefs, Canes, Reds, Blues wouldn’t it? Or would the Canes then go top?

The “lucky loser” drops one rank

Yeah well obviously but anything can happen. The Saders aren’t exactly vintage atm.

So the Canes would go top rank in that scenario then?

I think so

Settle down - what's he supposed to say - they are going to roll over and die - defending champs should go in with some level of confidence.

Is it just me or is the playoff set up the most complicated thing since forever?
-
@MiketheSnow seems more complicated than it actually is but only in the QFs.
-
@MiketheSnow I dont think it's too complicated. But I'll admit it's not simple.
I think it would be better and easier to follow if lucky loser dropped to the bottom seed, not just drop one spot. -
@MiketheSnow I find it not right how one of the Brumbies or the Hurricanes could get beaten by 100+ points next weekend, but rise up from the dead for the Semi Final.
👏 That's 👏 not 👏 knockout 👏 Rugby. 👏

The only way the Brumbies v Hurricanes game isn't a dead rubber is if either the chiefs or crusaders lose. Then the brumbies v hurricanes is a straight knock out...
