Chiefs - Crusaders - Brumbies
Chiefs - Crusaders - Hurricanes

Hurricanes will have to face 27 men. I reckon it is too much for them.

[Chris B.]

Crusaders, Chiefs, Brumbies

Ah, the ol' Calcio storico fiorentino-rules, interesting.

Calcio storico fiorentino - Wikipedia

The game starts when the pallaio throws and kicks the ball toward the center line, then at the first whistle as the ball first rests on field, 15 forwards or corridori, begin fighting in a wild mixed martial arts match- punching, kicking, tripping, hacking, tackling, and wrestling with each other in an effort designed to tire opponents' defenses, but which often descends into an all-out brawl. They try to pin and force into submission as many players possible. Once there are enough incapacitated players, the other teammates come and swoop up the ball and head to the goal.

Well, it should be entertaining, at the very least. Just a pity that Dane Coles is retired, he would've loved this.

That and the Palio, that crazy horse race in the the square in Siena would be a sight to see

Two questions:

1. Who do you think will win?
2. Who do you want to win?

Crusaders v Reds
Chiefs v Blues
Brumbies v Hurricanes

My picks
1.. Saders Blues Brumbies
2. Saders Blues* Canes

• Chiefs get a second shot

Two from two.

Hope I'm wrong about the third.
