If Auckland host a playoff, it will probably be at Mt Smart. My sister works there and they are planning just in case.
@mikedogz well if Northland somehow pull it off, I am not sure where they hold it as they already moved the last RR game to Kaikohe...I'd have thought erecting a scaffold seating area like when they played in Keri Keri many years ago would be the way to go, but at Kensington Park (there is a small seated area at Trigg Arena at Kensington, but the field is shite)

It would have been better if the playoffs (QFs) started with cross-over matches (between evens and odds), not from the SFs.

Ah. Was going to ask that.
SO QFs within pool, and SF crossover.
I wonder if that is to ensure the SFs are crossover? There's potential for them to be within pool otherwise.
But as @FakatavaAllBlack pointed out, there is potential for QFs to be repeats of recent pool games - which is always odd.

@booboo yeah they probably just need to have 2 pools play one another, seeded from prior season, then the 1/4s are odds v evens, that would take out the need for storm week too, and have deeper playoffs for seedings

So the graphic I have just seen on Breakdown was wrong? Waikato-BOP was at 4:30 pm on Sat.
@Bovidae seems the same as the draw posted above https://www.provincial.rugby/news/quarterfinalists-confirmed-in-the-bunnings-npc/

You'd think Friday night will impact the Harbour crowd.
Just another leg up to Auckland…

Looks likes NZR might have found someone with a brain. That draw carefully dances around the Women's RWC.

Sky could have been cynical and not bothered if there was a clash. I'm sure NZR wouldn't have been happy though.
The QFs have worked out well as there are three derbies, including a big grudge match in Wellington.

The Waikato and Bay odds should be closer.
