There are currently no NZ teams in the bottom six of the Super Rugby table. That is kind of amazing from a statistical perspective.

Hmm, if only Nigel Owens could follow our team around and ref us each week, lol.
A.Smith going awesome this year. Malakai Fekitoa showed some defensive naivety in one of those tries (put him in AB squad and they should fix that)
Stormers going okay, awesome watching Burger do his stuff, no look pass. Genius. If we can hold onto some more ball, give away fewer penalties I think we're right in this. (Rocket science)

I think Nigel should go down to SA and give them a masterclass in reffing. Wait, he can visit all three countries and do same.
Vermuelen is an immensely strong beast-dusted Aaron off like dandruff.
Agree with you on Fekitoa-gotta be in the AB mix this year.

Well done stormers, nice to see them actually use the ball. Who knew you could score tries when you have the ball..
Joubert, Joubert. Rub of the disgusting green shirts. 12-4. Where's the rule that says the player has to have picked up the ball at the back of the ruck as opposed to hands on. When did this become a rule?

After this round, NZ teams sitting at positions 3, 6, 7, 8 & 9. Technically Chiefs are 2nd equal with Brumbies on points, but Brumbies have better win/loss.
Very much looking forward to the run to the finals.

3/5 for the Round & not too unhappy about the 2 losses as I still think my lot have a slightly better run into the Finals than the 'canes or Clan & the only thing stopping them ending up higher than 5/6 will be lack of BP's.
Other factor will be how many players each potential finalist loses to int'l duty (adv Force) & in what shape they're delivered back. The June window has gotta be pushed back to allow Super Rugby to be done & dusted before the Poms, Frogs & Celts head down under.

That was funny to watch wasn't it Gwerty, looked like he was shaking Smith off the ball

Waipehu, I firmly belive the Crusaders will make the finals now, and suspect the Chiefs and Blues may fight out next spot, perhaps my Canes may struggle now!! I reckon the Blues?Chiefs game will be bloody interesting next week, I know Blues don't win away, but this one just down the motorway could be the one where they do it!! The thing is as Bad said earlier, our teams start knocking each other out from here on in!!
Also see Henry and Byrne won't be at Blues help Sir JK next year, Henry wants to test out the wines on Waiheke a bit more and Byrne concentrating on ABs (while moving to Brisbane)

Yeah it's really tight, a '5 horse race'
11 rounds down - 9 kiwi derby's have been played
7 rounds left - 11 kiwi derby's remain.
If some sort of pecking order doesn't form there's danger of kiwi teams finishing up 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th.
Pretty confident the bulls, Stormers, lions and Cheetahs are out
along with the Rebels and Reds.
Which means one conference will have 3 teams in the finals this year.

Well clearly the 'canes (home & away v Chiefs) & Clan (H&A v Crusaders) have to take a couple for the greater good but go hell for leather in their remaining non-derby fixtures. C'mon guys, you know it makes sense.

Yeah my bad the Reds are gone, Though I don't think the bulls have a chance unless they win there final 5 games, sure its an easy draw but still a big ask. Even with 5/5 wins they might fall short.

bulls have stormers twice, lions, brumbies and rebels so 5/5 from unlikely but may sneak in

Yep, well the Canes could still knock over the Chiefs I think, at least once, tend to suspect the Saders will handle the Clan ok, there perhaps need to be a quick meeting of all concerned and have a quiet work out who needs to win what, for thye greater good!
Yep I'm planning max 4/5 - think it's about time the Rebels had a win in Saffaland.
