    Well, it's a golden ticket to execute at home and head through to the proper knockouts.

    TAB have Blues as $1.08 favourites (Tahs $7). Honestly, if we lose at home, I'll buy someone a filthy beer.

    Really, the only contest of the weekend is Brumbies Canes. This comp has too many teams in the playoffs. 6 would be better than 8;

      ….and 4 would be better than 6. It’s pretty ridiculous really.

        I presume Heem comes back in at 12. Either Lam or Caleb on the left and either Choat or Segner on the bench.

        Will be interesting what Leon does at 15 - gut says he'll stick with Zarn and have Perofeta off of the bench.

          yeah, but the broadcasters want 3 weeks of playoffs right. But the Highlanders nearly qualifying is ridiculous (with the utmost respect, a 5-9 record should be a hang up the boots weekend, not a 'consider scraping into a playoff game' weekend).

            You know I also think 8 is too many, but just call this week knock out games and finals start next week, makes it easier to sleep!

              Heem at 12, Clarke/Lam bracketed, Suafoa and Segner on bench, Zarn 15, Perofeta bench.

                  Our negligible chance of winning the tourney just evaporated. Damn.

                      6 weeks would make him available for the 2nd AB test of the year so the silver lining is it doesn't ruin his test aspirations.

                        Going to go against the grain and call a very narrow Tahs win, especially if the weather is rubbish

                          hahaha, this is a classic 'aged like milk' comment.

                          If Tahs win, pop over to Auckland and I'll stand you a beer. Otherwise I'll see you in hell (aka Cardiff?)

                            Tahs have their own injury problems with Jake Gordon and HJH already ruled out

                                    See your neurologist.

                                    Tahs at $7 is ridiculous, but the bookies know they won't have to pay it.
