        Don't you have to play a certain number of regular season games to qualify for the playoffs?

            That's in Super Rugby. I couldn't find similar rules in the NZR regulations. This is what I did find:

            NEW ZEALAND RUGBY UNION
            Player Eligibility Regulations
            
            2.2 The Playing 23 of any Premier Competition Union for the Premier Competition and the Ranfurly Shield shall consist only of Players who are:
            (a) Local Players in accordance with clause 3; etc etc etc
            
            3 LOCAL PLAYERS
            3.1 โ€œLocal Playerโ€ means a Player who:
            (a) is Registered with a club competing in a competition conducted under the control and jurisdiction of that Provincial Union;
            (b) has not been Registered with, or Played for, a club or other rugby organisation affiliated to another Provincial Union or national union after the Premier Competition Cut-Off Date (for the avoidance of doubt this will not include a Player playing only for a national representative team or touring team);
            
            etc

              The Mitre 10 Cup Media Guide contains 22 points of competition regulations. No mention is made of players having to play a minimum number of games to participate in the playoffs.

                No. The NZRU aren't very fussy about this competition so they just let Steve Hansen decide who wins.

                Next year I might not bother wasting my time watching and just email Steve at the start and get him to tell me who's going to win!

                  Damn, I thought that Fukofuka was ruled out of the playoffs for that reason last year. Might've just been the coaches though. ๐Ÿ˜•

                        Unless, of course, they'd thought something along the lines that, "we don't want people thinking our competition is a bit of a farce so maybe we shouldn't let people play in the knockout play-offs if they haven't played at least a couple of games in the round robin".

                        If Canterbury makes the final next week Hansen's going to be in an interesting situation, where potentially he could release about ten All Blacks to play for them. Or he could release none.

                        To give it a tinfoil hat spin, does that depend on whether Razor is one of his great mates or if he hates Razor's guts and has scores to settle? ๐Ÿ™‚

                          I know - I already emailed Steve - just didn't want to spoil it for you guys. ๐Ÿ™‚

                            Tasman team: 1. T Perry 2. J MacDonald 3. R Geldenhuys 4. A Ainley 5. P P Parkinson 6. T Koloamatangi 7. S Christie (c) 8. P Samu 9. B Guyton 10. M Banks 11. J Lowe 12. D Havili 13. K Fonotia 14. V Lolohea 15. M Hunt

                            Reserves: 16. B Asumoa-Goodman 17. K Hames 18. S Halanukonuka 19. S Frizell 20. E Blackadder 21. F Christie 22. A Nankivell 23. C Makene

                            Missing Andrew Makalio at hooker and Quentin Strange at lock/bench.

                            Makalio is a big loss, not because he's great, but because Jesse MacDonald definitely isn't. They've seemed to minimize the amount they've had Jesse on the park, but unfortunately they're going to need plenty from him this week.

                                  Probably doesn't know all of the moves.
                                  Coaches being loyal to the players who have got them there.
                                  Unlikely to have access to him if they do make the final.

                                    Haha - despite Steve Hansen's best efforts to sabotage us, we get the job done!

                                    Load those fucking All Blacks on a plane Steve - and a couple of Barretts who are surplus to Canterbury's requirements - and don't you dare go thinking that some of them could do with a run and a celebration.

                                    Though, to paraphrase Brad Thorn, "That'll be my final".

                                    We've won the Canterburyless Championship - anything else is clover! ๐Ÿ™‚

                                                Wasn't sure about the way the props were being used, but using Perry and Geldenhuys against the top props and running out Hames and Halanukonuka against the reserves has been a masterstroke.

                                                Banks to the Sunwolves is news to me - not sure whether that's a new development or Laban is confused.

                                                    @Mokey Like a lot of what Laban says when commentating. I wonder whether he does any research at all, or whether he gets his "facts" from google?

                                                      @Stargazer he doesn't even have access to the internet and as far as I know has never spoken to another person in his life, he just makes it up.
