Country pubs for the win in South Island. Ranging from cheap-and-basic-as-fuck to expensive-and-'charming'-as-fuck.

Beauden or Damian to captain a fantasy side this week? Gut says Beauden but heart says Dmac.

@Yeetyaah

It's probably raining in Suva. I guess that would make it harder to get Fantasy points?

The simple life of not getting lost walking around corridors. Old school keys. Being able to open windows and not having the shame of walking through a reception area.looking like death. Give me a motel any day

[Machpants]

Yeah DMac by a million

@Yeetyaah Blues playing in Fiji, in what looks like average weather conditions.

So you should definitely back Beaudy!

Predicted top six:

Chiefs - 50

Interesting quarter finals for the Chiefs and Brumbies?

In week one of the Finals Series, Qualifying Finals will be 1 v 6, 2 v 5 and 3 v 4 with the higher-seeded teams to host
The three winners of the Qualifying Finals will progress to the Semi-Finals
They will be joined by the highest-seeded losing team (the ‘lucky loser’), who will drop one seeding for the Semi-Final draw
Semi-Finals will be 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 with the higher-seeded teams to host

[antipodean]

I'm going to guess this:

Pos	Team	Pts
1	Chiefs	51
2	Crusaders	51
3	Brumbies	44
4	Reds	41
5	Hurricanes	36
6	Blues	36

If we finish 1st, a first round against the Blues may make me change my mind about allowing the highest ranked loser to advance..

Hearing the Ofa Tu’ungafasi injury could possibly be career ending , has a neck injury similar to the issue that ended Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff ‘s career which left him with severly reduced neck rotation
Lets hope we see Ofa back on field sometime in the future but if i was totally honest as a father i would be advising him to pull the pin
Has anyone else heard similar whispers ?

Spotted Ofa in public a week or so back, had a neck brace on (obviously).

Fk I love that sort of coaching aye. No need to raise the voice, no need to lay down the law, just a very subtle way of getting a message across to his team. Definitely worked this week.

A few millimetres is the difference between full recovery and retirement.

But safety absolutely paramount.

Exceptionally likeable bloke.
