Why didn't Brumbies go for the drop goal?
Why didn't QLD kick it out?

@stargazer it's a straight final format though.

@kiwimurph Not sure what's wrong with what I'm saying. I think they could finish anywhere from place 1 to 4 after the round robin. So it could be either a NZ team v Aussie team final; a two NZ teams final; or a Reds-Brumbies final.

@stargazer well sure but the format would seemingly disadvantages the Reds and Brumbies on paper. The Reds and Brumbies look more than a match for the kiwi sides but the Force and Tahs look weaker than the weakest NZ teams so easier for nz sides to rack up wins.

Points are carried through from Super Rugby AU and Super Rugby Aotearoa into Super Rugby TT, so Reds are well on top to host the final of that as well. Reds are on 32 points with one more game to play. Crusaders are on 18 with 3 more to play.

That was a good game. Pretty good skill on display, some decent hits and both sides fairly evenly matched.
A lot better than the penalty fest that was the Rebels and Force.

I don't believe that is the case. Everyone starts from zero in Super Rugby TT.

It's not been confirmed either way, but from 0 makes more sense to me

This is where I read that the final will be between the top two teams based on the combined table.
