    Not so sure having played every minute of SRP is good player management, unless all the other options in the squad have been injured.

    if he's still performing and uninjured, NH teams tend to have much longer seasons

      @Kiwiwomble NH teams are bigger and rotate a lot.

                        not surprising Crusaders looking into Levi, need more power in their backline, the current midfield has the physicality of a wet towel.

                          @KiwiMurph SRP was never going to be bad for NZ audiences. Shame about the other half I guess. Convenient he's left that part to other experts who, presumably, have more nuance.

                          There's a concerted media attack on the viability of Super Rugby in NZ, so of course this tweet is going to focus on NZ. It doesn't mean anyone is pretending Oz doesn't exist.

                          You're just looking for something to be annoyed about.

                            Just want to point out these sellouts and that Blues vs Crusaders game was Test match level. Comp is excellent.

                              Test match level? Hold up, isn't this the stick we repeatedly beat our SR coaches with to ensure there's no pathway to higher honors? How can we trust Razor to coach ABs if he's never coached at test level?

                                        with two rounds to go even a poor predictor like me can have a crack at the Finals composition
                                        Table.JPG

                                        Chiefs 50 (Brumbies A, Force A) 50-60, predict 58
                                        Crusaders 42 (Tahs H, Canes A) 42-52 predict 50
                                        Brumbies 41 (Chiefs H, Rebels H) 41-51 predict 47
                                        Blues 38 (Canes H, Highlanders H) 38-48 predict 46
                                        Canes 37 (Blues A, Saders H) 37-47 predict 39

                                        I would have a flutter on the current order staying the same.
                                        Saders can reach top spot but even 2 losing BPs from Chiefs would probably be enough.
                                        Brumbies could get to 50 if they beat the Chiefs but have a vastly inferior PD to the Saders
                                        Blues could overtake Brumbies but need one BP added to two wins. Not impossible but that 3 try margin is hard to get at this stage of the season.

                                        The fight for 7,8 is still on (With Tahs likely to stay 6th)
                                        Reds in box seat although a Landers win this weekend will really make things interesting
                                        Way too many variables in that end of the table but critical games in Highlanders v Reds and Drua v Reds (in Fiji)
                                        Drua could pick up 9 points in their last 2 games
                                        Force v Rebels (A) could cement a finals spot for the Force
