<p>guaranteed NZ team into the final, either it's Canes vs Landers so one of them, or if one of the other NZ teams win, it's 3 in the semis, so also a guaranteed finalist. Good</p>

<p>The Crusaders have the most difficult game to play this weekend, but surely the Chiefs should be able to beat the Stormers?</p> -

<p>If it's torn the rib off, he won't be back til the EOY tour.</p>

<p>At best he'll be back for the final if they make it, more likely the Rugby Championship given how much pain he appeared to be in. </p> -
<p>that last passage summed the night up for the Shorks</p>

The Canes pull the Sharks wound open and pump salt into it with a try on full time.<br><br>
41....NIL.<br><br>
Wow. -
Jesus the Sharks clocked off 20 minutes ago didn't they! Imagine travelling all that way to this weather and to lose 41 nil.

I'd like to think so -
That's 6 on the trot for the Canes since their loss too, ironically, the Sharks. Talk about timing their run home. Hot favourites for the title now.

Cheers and bugger, he looked in massive pain. Bledisloe 1 and 2 might be out of the picture. -

<p>You should be in the betting thread!</p> -
I know this is far from test footy but that performance reminds me of the ABs 43-6 demolition of the Wallabies at Athletic Park in similar conditions. Brilliant gameplan executed to perfection. Could not be happier.

Quarter Final One: Check<br>
Quarter Final Two: Check<br>
Quarter Final Three: put last week behind you boys, the Canes are white hot. You're easily good enough to put the Lions back in their place. Do it for team NZ.
