Maybe a potential flip in the QF make up.
Chance of a Tahs win and a Canes loss.
Just a sniff but it would send the Canes to Canberra and the Tans to Hamilton.

@Chris the canes can't lose to Jeremy Thrush's force!! If they do that means it's do or die for Martin Banks and the landers Sunday

So three out of the four quarter finals now confirmed.

Crusaders vs Reds

Chiefs vs Waratahs

Brumbies vs Hurricanes

Blues won’t know who they play until atleast after the next game.

@Canes4life Canes in Canberra always makes for an unpredictable game!

[Canes4life]

@FakatavaFuture our season ended last year in Canberra when Jordie missed a last minute penalty, hope he can win it this time. I just know the Canes hate playing there, especially when it’s freezing which I’m sure it will be.

Should be used to shit weather being based in Wellington.

[Canes4life]

@Kirwan can’t beat Wellington on a good day mate.

It’s not that cold here, it’s just windy. Not bitterly cold like Christchurch and Canberra anyway.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Yep, it's not as bad as people from outside the region make it out to be. In Summer, I actually prefer Wellington's climate over that of the North with its horrible humidity. I hate sweaty weather.

Edit: Nothing beats the weather in the Bay though.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer it’s funny, we’ve actually had very little rain for the last few months. I’m sure that will change though as Winter sets in.

I used to live in the area. It was cold, windy and had too many earthquakes.

Nice when the weather wasn’t coming off the Antarctic.

@Unite what a pig of a place. 3 degrees and rain, who would even live there.

I'd almost prefer the Rebels to beat the Highlanders as the Force will be a much easier proposition in a 1/4 final than the Landers would ever be.

But stuff that, I ALWAYS back a NZ team over anyone else, come on Highlanders!

It’s only this format this year isn’t it?
I reckon it’s fair enough this season given the uncertainties and disruption with Covid.
Just think of the quarters as a final round.
Top four should still be the semi finalists
