      Team Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 Points Max Points
      Crusaders Chiefs (a) Highlanders (h) Blues (a) 19 34
      Blues Highlanders (a) Crusaders (h) 17 27
      Hurricanes Chiefs (h) Highlanders (a) 16 26
      Highlanders Blues (h) Crusaders (a) Hurricanes (h) 10 25
      Chiefs Crusaders (h) Hurricanes (a) 5 15

      Crusaders - Massive favourites

      Blues - Need help from Chiefs or Highlanders

      Hurricanes - Need Blues and Crusaders to lose matches

      Highlanders - Might steal third if Blues or Hurricanes have a shocker

      Chiefs - My second favourite team. Chiefs mana. Fuck everyone else up.

        All over for the Canes really if Saders get up this weekend. Chiefs have to win sometime surely?

        Hoping Highlanders tip up the Blues too

          Only thing certain is that Pickerell won't be ref for either of the Chiefs remaining games.

              Why isn't Williams refereeing this weekend? He hasn't had the whistle since Rd 5.

                  Dude, welcome to what the Blues have experienced for the last five years. Forum advice to me over that time was "Nothing to do with refs, your team sucks".

                    @Kirwan Including the incident where Piers Francis was knocked out by a stiff arm to the jaw, and the opposing player only got a yellow card.

                      It would be a looooong thread if we started listing these sorts of things.

                        couldn't say this out load but might be able to type it....i think it would be good for NZ rugby if the blues can win this or at least make sure they come second, that huge potential supporter base needs to be mobilised for whatever the new format looks like

                            @Kiwiwomble Yep, gonna be very important to have big support in Auckland, especially when they shift the Highlanders franchise licence up to North Harbour.

                                Wasn't it 33,000+ last weekend at Eden Park? They might sell it out for the last match.

                                Interesting that people go to the afternoon matches too. NZR might be wise to focus on crowd numbers not just broadcasting deals for fan engagement.

                                  @Snowy 100% agreed, i was meaning build and solidify on the current great support, dont want this support drifting away, theyre more likely to get a big crowd to the first game next season if they finish well this season

                                    What's really awful is that I'm hoping the Waratahs win to increase rugby's popularity in Australia. Vile.

                                      ive been reading some commentary on the football in the uk, there has been a lot of talk about how the crowds or lack of them affect the viewing even on TV, people just saying it hasn't been the same and a lot easier to turn it off, the current turnouts for SRA has to help when it comes to "selling" any future product t the NH markets

                                            Yeah that’s right get rid of the team that has set the standard to make the comp weaker makes sense Not.
                                            How about the other teams get better which some teams are,to lift the whole standard.

                                                          @Tim dude, why ya got to hate like that 😢

                                                          if we got rid of the crusaders then at least the comp would be more even 🤷🏻♂

                                                          Yeah that’s right get rid of the team that has set the standard to make the comp weaker makes sense Not.
                                                          How about the other teams get better which some teams are,to lift the whole standard.

                                                          i bet you're fun at parties 🙄 i don't thin the Saders need any defending, their record kind of dones that on its own

                                                          Always defend your colours mate it’s what it is all about

                                                            @Kirwan Including the incident where Piers Francis was knocked out by a stiff arm to the jaw, and the opposing player only got a yellow card.

                                                            Let it go bro. Let it go. You’re team are doing well. Time to move on, let the past go. Rangi for PM 😉

                                                            Now where’s that thread about the 2014 final...

                                                              @Kiwiwomble Yep, gonna be very important to have big support in Auckland, especially when they shift the Highlanders franchise licence up to North Harbour.

                                                              NorthLanders sounds like a great idea
                                                              It maybe easier for them to recruit and be a championship threat.Population is large enough to support 2 teams.
