[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 642242, member: 43400"] Here's the run in for the Three leading Australian contenders: [B]The Waratahs[/B] [B]Home[/B] v Lions, Brumbies, Highlanders They have been playing well at home this season ... the Brumbies and maybe the Highlanders could give them a little trouble though ... I'd expect that they will win at least two of the home games. [B]Away[/B] v Rebels, Chiefs, Reds As the Chiefs will be at home, I expect that they'd beat the Tahs ... the clashes between the Tahs and the Reds are usually pretty tightly fought encounters although the first one this season wasn't (Reds at home should even this up though), Rebels aren't a guaranteed win at home either ... I'd expect the Tahs to win one, possibly Two of their Away games [B]Brumbies [/B] [B]Home[/B] v Rebel, Force (last game) I expect the Brumbies to win both the home games, although the Force game could be a cracker, as it might determine who wins the Conference [B]Away[/B] v Cheetahs, Bulls, Waratahs South African teams are never easy to beat on their home track, and neither are the Tahs ... they should go into the match against the Cheetahs as favourites, but I'm not convinced they can beat the resurgent Bulls ... the Tahs game could be a tight tussle [B]Force [/B] [B]Home[/B] v Lions, Blues, Reds None of those teams are playing particularly well away from home, so the Force could very well win all three of these matches [B]Away[/B] v Stormers, Crusaders, Brumbies I think the force will struggle against all three of these sides, and could loose them all. ... I would try and do some calculations to see who the likely playoff teams are ... but my head hurts already :) [/QUOTE]
