    @nzzp What's the solution to the travel in finals though? A week off in between? Mid week games? Maybe just drop South Africa from the comp? Seems like there's no easy fix.

    Earn more competition points than the other teams?

    I don't see the problem - the Saders, Brumbies, Jags, and Canes aren't traveling, and if they win they'll only travel to higher ranked teams. The conference system is going anyway, so from now on it will be as fair as it can be.

      I reckon the Chiefs will get the job done in Argentina.

        I think the travel was relatively less of an issue when it was just a top four. Two weeks of travel part way round the globe was maybe doable, but a third week will almost always play into the hands of the well rested.

              @taniwharugby maybe worth a few dollars on the Chiefs, they seem to be the team that is hitting form at the right time

                    The difference Sam Cane makes is telling.

                    If we beat Jaguares do we play the Crusaders in the Semi?

                              Funny if it was to be Chiefs v Highlanders (It won't be) Imagine CHiefs getting home final after this season.

                                Jaguares for their maiden title at 9.50 jumps out to me. Home quarter, semi and if anybody knows over the Crusaders final as well.

                                  Apparently, Quade Cooper is off contract. Some NZ franchises could use an experienced 10. Would you want him for your team?

                                      Seeing how well so many of the ex-Oz SR team members play after some time in NZ, he'd be a good pick up

                                        @Yeahtheboys Speak for yourself. Maybe M10 cup worthy.

                                          @Yeetyaah Isn't that exactly what @Yeahtheboys is doing? Speak for himself?
