@Canes4life It would mean that the Canes won't have to beat the Crusaders because the Crusaders would be out of the competition.
@sparky obviously, won't happen though.
-
You can see the reasoning with the jags, in the new system they book tickets for both canes and Highlanders. Previous system they'd have to book tickets to Those placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th quarter finalist, cos if they won that's where they could possibly play next
-
@Machpants right, so the only chance of us hosting a Semi is if the Saders lose?

Yeah they changed that a couple of years back and all the teams agreed because of the logistical ease.

The result (who play who in the QF and SF, and where) is the same, but this is the correct format of the finals:

The question is with the movement overseas is there enough talent in NZ coming through to fill the holes we seem to have not a lot coming through at
Tight Head Prop
Tall locks
No.6s
First Five behind Barrett, Mounga maybe Ioane
Looking at the u /20s not a lot there
M10 is going to be very interesting as a recruiting tool for SR -

@Stargazer yeah my QF numbering was incorrect (I was aware), but I just stuck with what was initially posted to try and decrease confusion. Resultant games are the same

Was really impressed by his work rate against the Blues on Saturday. Our best forward behind Ardie atm.

@Canes4life Yeah I like Walker-Leawere He uses what size he has well one for the future
-
@Chris 6 doesn't look too bad with Jacobson and Papali'i looking like real prospects there. Robinson is another one.
Frizell also looked pretty good when he was starting for the Highlanders, but he's now getting little game time again.
-
@Dice Yeah I agree but we are still looking for One of them to grab the position with both hands that maybe Jacobsen he keeps impressing me every week.
-
@Chris I'm a fan of Jacobsen aswell, both him and Robinson look like great prospects going forward.
@Canes4life both playing 6 very well, yet seem to play quite different roles in thier teams.
Blues seem to like using Robinson wide, often stationed on the wing, whereas the games I have seen of Jacobson he has played a bit tighter.

@Stargazer is quite ironic that the quarters are labelled that way. Because every year the fourth place team has had more points than 2 and 3, so those play off look almost right!

Jack Goodhue, Billy Harmon and Mitchell Dunshea have re-signed with the Crusaders for 2020.
@Stargazer spoke to Jack Goodhue’s oldest brother this afternoon about a possible move up to the Blues after his time is up at the Saders.
A lot would depend on whom the next Saders coach is, has a great relationship with Razor ,but will be keeping his options and at some stage would love to run out in the same team again with his brother Josh.
Jacks brother would also love to see Jack running around for the Blues and if that’s the case..they need to get pro active ..
Take out of that what you like. -
