@Machpants pretty happy with top half with the way we're tracking!
-
Matt's right. And I'm sure Canterbury and Ta$man folk will be more than happy to cheer for the Hurricanes or the Highlanders when their own underachieving franchise gets mothballed.

@sparky it's like people never realise there has to be a bottom half of the table.
Jubilee cup. Premier club rugby in Welly obviously doesn't have the strength to uphold twelve teams.
-
@Bones The Crusaders won the Super Competition 7 years in a row in its various incarnations. They had a stranglehold on the competition. Their collapse this season is spectacular and almost without precedent in sport. I'm loving it!
-
The Hurricanes at the top, the Crusaders at the foot of the table. It probably won't last, but it's like I've died and gone to heaven or something.
-
The Brumbies have had a soft draw so far and should fall down the table after playing the Reds, Blues and Canes in the next month
-
Last year five wins was enough to be 8th on the table (Reds), but also saw the Force finish 10th. Six wins might be needed to make the playoffs.
The Crusaders' remaining matches are:
Chiefs (A)
Bye
Waratahs (A)
Force (A)
Rebels (H)
Reds (H)
Highlanders (A)
Brumbies (A)
Blues (H)
Moana Pasifika (H)Beating Waratahs (A), Force (A), Rebels (H), Highlanders (A), and Moana Pasifika (H) would give them five wins, so they'd probably have to pick up another win.
@Tim on current form they could also lose a couple of those aswell. Right now I'd pick the Landers to beat the Crusaders, especially at home. They've already lost to the Tahs and if the Force play like they did last night they won't be easy to beat in Perth. Interesting times indeed.

Reckon they'll still sneak home, particularly with players coming back.
Assuming they lose to the Chiefs though, the margin of error is admittedly quite small. If they can beat the Tahs and the Force though, you wouldn't bet against them 5 or 6 in a row.
As funny as it is that they are 0-5, I'm still not convinced they are that bad. Chiefs & Canes games were a flip of a coin, and Fiji is a tough place to go to. The Tahs game in many ways was a bit of a freak one where everything went wrong.
Last night probably the first really poor performance I thought.

He's clearly being satirical.

$18 for the Reds is ridiculous really. Losing to the Force really hurt them, because if they could have landed home finals they would be a tough nut to crack.

@Bones As in - odds in NZ favor NZ teams?
Checking international sites - it's pretty much the same.
Pretty sad indictment on Oz teams, and an impressive reputation for the dockers.
