Super Rugby 2012 Final - Waikato Chiefs vs Kwa-Zulu Natal Sharks

Gwerty, I understand where you coming from, but if these teams had week off do you not think it would give wallabies huge advantage in RC games as AB and Boks would only be able to get together a week before first test....

oh I understand ​

I think I explained this already. Obviously they couldn't do a week off this year because TRC schedule is already in place however I'd like to see them plan this in the future so a week break could be brought in.

Yep, I realise Gwery, just having a little wind up. While I see where you coming from, the schedule will I doubt ever have room for a week break.

The only reason the Sharks were majorly disadvantaged in the final is that they came from 6th place to make it and had to play three away games in a row.

If everything goes to form and 1 plays 2 in the final then both teams get a week off at the start of the finals, play a home game and then the second place team has to travel once.

Adding in an extra week just in case the 5th or 6th place teams makes the final and has three away games seems silly to me.
