Anyone have any idea which seeded teams will be playing on which nights? I've looked at historical seedings at 1st seed isn't always on the Saturday night. My schools show is on Friday night next week and will be pissed if the Chiefs are on Friday night lmao, but I feel like it's likely if its v Drua.

@Yeetyaah I don't think they look at seeding for scheduling the QFs. I think they look at when teams have played their games the previous week.

@Stargazer right so might be a safe bet that the Chiefs are on Saturday considering they're at midnight our time and have to fly back from Perth?
@Yeetyaah You'd hope so. If they look at who played when this weekend, it would mean that - if the table stays the same at the top - the Blues and/or Brumbies play their QF on Friday, and the Chiefs and Crusaders on Saturday. And if there's only one QF on Friday, they should pick the team based on when the opponent last played or have to travel from. But maybe there are also other factors like stadium availability, teams having other preferences or Sky's logistics, I don't know. :man_shrugging_medium_skin_tone:

Blues win
Chiefs slaughter
Crusaders win comfortably
But a possibility of an upset in Canberra@Machpants said in Super Rugby 2023:

But a possibility of an upset in CanberraPossibility but hard to tell if we saw a Saders side going to sleep on a dead rubber or a good Canes side.
Brumbies have lost a bit recently through injuries and seem clueless when their maul isn’t working.
Definitely the toughest pick although Blues/Tahs could be interesting on the day. Blues fumbling their way along at the moment and the Tahs can be good for spells. -

BBBR may pick apart brumbies maul, I can't see short ineffectual perpetual motion machine Blackwell doing the same!

Top saders will easily over come what will be an over excited Drua imo.
Chiefs quite a team apart ATM, going in with momentum and depth

@Machpants hadn’t seen Tahs game. Maybe I’m optimistic in hoping for a decent game

Great. My canes earn a trip to the graveyard that is Bruce Stadium. Our record there is appalling

They haven’t realised that the key to success at Bruce is to get the crowd jeering and booing.

I hope that the Chiefs had a choice on what time they wanted to play on Sat as the top seed.
