@Chris the canes can't lose to Jeremy Thrush's force!! If they do that means it's do or die for Martin Banks and the landers Sunday
I did say a sniff not a strong chance you boys will be fine,Big game big win from the Landers I reckon this Sunday.

Veteran trio call time on careers
With over 400 games of Super Rugby experience to their names, the Western Force can confirm that storied veterans Jeremy Thrush, Richard Kahui, and Greg Holmes will be retiring at the end of the season.
-
So three out of the four quarter finals now confirmed.
Crusaders vs Reds
Chiefs vs Waratahs
Brumbies vs Hurricanes
Blues won’t know who they play until atleast after the next game.

@Canes4life Canes in Canberra always makes for an unpredictable game!
-
@FakatavaFuture our season ended last year in Canberra when Jordie missed a last minute penalty, hope he can win it this time.
I just know the Canes hate playing there, especially when it’s freezing which I’m sure it will be. -

@Kirwan can’t beat Wellington on a good day mate.
It’s not that cold here, it’s just windy. Not bitterly cold like Christchurch and Canberra anyway.
-
@Canes4life Yep, it's not as bad as people from outside the region make it out to be. In Summer, I actually prefer Wellington's climate over that of the North with its horrible humidity. I hate sweaty weather.
Edit: Nothing beats the weather in the Bay though.
-
@Stargazer it’s funny, we’ve actually had very little rain for the last few months. I’m sure that will change though as Winter sets in.

I used to live in the area. It was cold, windy and had too many earthquakes.
Nice when the weather wasn’t coming off the Antarctic.

I'd almost prefer the Rebels to beat the Highlanders as the Force will be a much easier proposition in a 1/4 final than the Landers would ever be.
But stuff that, I ALWAYS back a NZ team over anyone else, come on Highlanders!

Lol 4 wins and you get to play next week
Real good comp we've got here

@Crucial said in Super Rugby 2022:
It’s only this format this year isn’t it?
I reckon it’s fair enough this season given the uncertainties and disruption with Covid.
Just think of the quarters as a final round.
Top four should still be the semi finalistsNope same next year 'and going forward', just there won't be the Ozzie teams only playing extra games against Ozzie teams, those are spread out, I think.
Teams will play 14 regular season matches with each team to host seven matches
Teams will play 8 teams once and 3 teams twice with a focus on derby matches
Stuff
Super Rugby Quarter-Finalists Confirmed
