Even the Blues own accounts were quite salty about it.

anyone got a link to the points system,a nd how the finalists will be decided?

Finally someone posted all the info. Strangely it was the Blues website:

https://blues.rugby/super-rugby-trans-tasman-let-the-anzac-battles-resume/

There is a final at the end of the five-week competition. The leading team has the hosting rights against the second placed team of the 10 competing clubs.

It might be two Australian teams in the final, or two New Zealand or one of each.

Points are as usual – 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw (there is NO golden point extra time). The bonus points are 1 Point for scoring a minimum three tries more than your opponent; and 1 Point for a loss by seven points or less.

If teams are tied on points, the team to advance will be firstly decided on the side with the most wins in the competition. If still tied it will go to the points for and against differential. In the unlikely situation that there is still a tie, then it will be decided on the side with most tries in all matches; then the differential of tries for and against in all matches, and finally a coin toss.

Stitch up Amy Perrett cant get a gig over at least Damon Murphy

[Bovidae]

@derpus Did Gardner ref many games in SR Au? Surely he is still the best ref you've got.

[KiwiMurph]

Not so much the refs, but neing Kiwi vs Ozzie makes it 5 games I have to watch this weekend, awesome!

[Bovidae]

I thought that they may have used only home refs in each country to reduce costs but Pickerill got himself a trip.

[Derpus]

@kiwimurph oh yeah. Not sure why he hasn't been reffing more games. Agree he's our best.

[Nepia]

I hadn’t thought until just now how tanked my weekend will be - 5 games of rugby and 1 game of state house rugby to watch.

Good times.

Apparently recovering from an injury.

Tbh, propably also useful to take some time out and freshen up the mind. Some games in his previous stint he just seemed to be overreading things.

But agree that at his best, he's top pick.

He might like the place so much that he may decide to do a Steve Walsh Jnr and defect permanently.

[Victor Meldrew]

For those in the UK, it's on Rugby Pass at £33 for all the games.

@victor-meldrew seems to be showing that I'll get it on my current plan where I'd paid for SRA for me. Tells me I can't upgrade on a prepaid plan.

Edit: flag that, was looking in the wrong place.
