@ACT-Crusader it’s crazy to think , just one win has been the difference between making a semi final and being relegated ..feel a bit for Harbour , but this is exactly what you want from a comp as well as some upsets along the way ..

weird that arguably the best pack in the comp on their day gets relegated

And one of the better 9-10 combos in the comp too.

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader No depth in the backs.

[Crazy Horse]

@Tim Romano probably is a great for Canterbury. Didn't notice the Harmon stuff.

@Crazy-Horse Harmon was excellent today though, whatever fawning TJ does over his red'n'black jersies.

@taniwharugby The Mitre 10 website has Wellington in 4th and Waikato in 6th behind Canterbury.

@Daffy-Jaffy but Waikato beat both of them, which is the 1st decider on tie breaks

I thought points diff was?

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader hardly fair if you have been beaten by a team on same points....these are apparently the rules

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim lmao you're as bad as the cantabs mate. I don't doubt it'll be tough for Waikato, but be realistic.

Happy to eat my words if I'm wrong.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah You were complaining about the number of Blues in the ABs yesterday. Back in your pen.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim yeah I was drunk as fuck and posted it to get a reaction out of you Blues fans. By my "pen", do you mean the pen of my team being able to beat a trash Canterbury team?

[ACT Crusader]

@taniwharugby so why did Taranaki finish ahead of Northland, given same competition points and the Taniwha won the head to head?

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah I mean the pen for the bottom qualifiers.

[Steven Harris]

@bayimports ,I know , how crazy , to be honest I have enjoyed watching the Mitre 10 cup more than following the All Blacks ..I think of all those Fringe players Foster pulled out of the comp ..for What..?.somebody to hold a hit shield , like that’s worked out really well ..

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader yeah we won the head to head, so we head to Otago next week, they get HB again

edit: the table doesnt show it like that, it just shows points diff (they mentioned in the Cant-Akl game the semi times which confirmed the M10 table shows wrong)

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim yeah and Auckland won what? One more game than Waikato? Impressive stuff mate.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah Had a pretty good win at Eden Park against some rabble from Hamilton, IIRC.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim yeah then you lost to Canterbury who Waikato beat.
