    @duluth Little has been great value for the Sunwolves,just a shame every time they have made a mistake,they have been punished,
    Agree with your coms about not being in the Blues.

    Geez, the Reds just got robbed. Ref rules knock-on by Reds player, but it was slapped backwards by Pockock. Try should have been awarded. Brumbies lead 24 - 18 with 20 minutes to go.

    Ben Lam and Ricky Riccitelli have re-signed with the Hurricanes.

    Lam, 26, has signed a two-year extension beyond the 2018 season while Riccitelli, 23, has committed to the end of 2021.
    

    Exciting pair extend their time with the Hurricanes

    @taniwharugby I think the sharks didn't even score in the second half. And were out of the game before half time.

    The only time the Sharks have performed this year is against NZ teams.

    Only two points separates 14th from 8th, pretty close in the bottom half!

    Pretty much halfway through the competition.

    Be reasonable to assume teams are going to need around 38 points to make the play-offs - and that NZ is going to have four teams in the play-offs (unless someone falls apart).

    I wonder if there will soon be some jockeying to get into 6th position, and face the Waratahs or Rebels in quarters, given the poor form of all 4 Australian franchises recently? Seems like Crusaders and Hurricanes are fighting for 1st and 4th unless the Lions step up a gear and top both. Looking at the remaining matches it looks to me like the Bulls, Chiefs and Highlanders will be fighting for 5,6,7 with the second Aussie team in 8th. The Sharks or Jaguares would need a fantastic run home to sneak into the quarters.

    It all makes the choice of who to rest when, very intriguing indeed. And the Highlanders v Rebels and Lions v Bulls matches in the last round might have some huge complications in jockeying for positions. i.e. win and get a worse draw for finals series...

    @arhs The Lions have quite a tough schedule over the next few weeks - away from home against the Reds, Canes and Highlanders. Plus I don't think they're as dominant against their SA compadres, so right now I'm not overly worried about them.

    So far, the top four NZ teams have all won their home derby games against one another and beaten all other comers - except for the Canes losing to the Bulls in Round 1.

    So might end up a four-way dogfight, though Chiefs and Highlanders still have their SA tours to make. Hurricanes have to play all three of their NZ rivals away from home. Chiefs, Crusaders and Highlanders each have two of their remaining derby matches (excluding the Blues) at home.

    All in all, as a Crusaders fan I'm pretty happy with our position, but basically no-one can afford many slip-ups.

    I reckon the team that tops the table will probably do it with three losses - certainly not more than four and possibly just two (or one if you're the Canes).

    Highlanders-Chiefs is in Suva so not really a home game for the Landers.
