Crusaders-Canes final in !

And hid all the feral North Island supporters
Who came down dreaming of a win.

Let the banter begin!.
Nb don't let geophysical reality stop you but in distance Wellington is closer to Christchurch than to Auckland...

Maybe I was not talking about you Auckland people .

Crusaders-Canes final in Christchurch - bring on the fog again!

The fog was great - it highlighted all the most beautiful spots of Christchurch!

And hid all the feral North Island supporters
Who came down dreaming of a win.

We did win, you just couldn’t see it.

CF Sr went down for the final. Left well before the end and went to the pub because he couldn't see shit. The view was just as bad there. A farcical game

Dissapointing for all the fans it should not have been played in those conditions.

[adds 1 and 2]... thanks for suggesting we're not feral at all!

[Kirwan]

Always.

So, brumbies v hurricanes now a straight knock out.
No lucky loser, loser is out.

Love it from Rieko.

Will also love it when the Blues get knocked out.

[Ghost678]

As a Chiefs fan I’d honestly rather play the Brumbies than Hurricanes in a semifinal, it’ll still be tough but I feel like the Canes were more likely to have been another banana skin

[Yeetyaah]

@Ghost678 agree 100%, was shitting myself at the idea of playing the Canes.

If he's not selected for the ABs they should make him media officer.
Faster swerves on instagram than on the field..

Get ready for the most boring tip of all time.

Even after their loss I still think the Chiefs are winning the SR Title this year.

Would require the Crusaders to lose their first-ever home play-off game.

[Mr Fish]

The only 'better' system I can think of for a six-team finals series that doesn't involve bye weeks would see the top two seeds pick their opposition from the bottom three (and then the top seed gets to pick their semi-final opposition). The lucky loser from the qualifying finals would automatically drop into the second tier, losing their right to a home match.

[Dan54]

Yep Mr Fish, I can't think of best systems. Knock out rugby is a shit way to find a champion anyway I think.
Not keen on this system for knockouts (6 teams) but it's all about more so called meaningful games for tv isn't it?
And even with Chiefs not dropping to bottom of the pack after losing? Would Crusaders think it a great idea as top top of the tree to have to play Chiefs in SF? I think they would prefer the 6th place qualifier.
