Im taking into account the matches teams have left, the Sharks have played most of their games at home. Whilst the Stormers have 5 very winnable home games in a row before a trip to the Lions.

We're voting on the 4th spot? I reckon every position bar 1 is still well and truly up for grabs. Sharks through to Hurricanes still have a genuine shot at a home semi you'd have to say and the Stormers could certainly make the top 4. No team except the Crusaders are certainties for a finals berth at this point. Especially considering that the Blues and the Sharks have been pretty poor recently and the Stormers and Chiefs have been looking damn good. Tahs, Force and Canes are the real unknown quantities. But if I had to nominate a top 4....based on form and matches left....

1. Crusaders
2. Blues (If Isa is back this week and they beat the Brumbies)
3. ? (Could be any of the teams mentioned above. Not enough info yet)
4. Sharks (I predict a second half collapse but they'll get enough points to scrape in)

I've actually changed my mind Here's what I predict (with some points)

1. Crusaders - Whopping 60 Points
2. Blues - 42
3. Chiefs - 42
4. Sharks - 41
5. Stormers - 40
6. Hurricanes - 37
7. Brumbies - 37
8. Waratahs - 34
9. Force - 32
10. Bulls
11. Highlanders
12. Cheetahs
13. Reds
14. Lions

I think it's a very realistic outcome. May be a few changes around mid table.

spot on mackka. only the crusaders are guarenteed. i hope that the blues will pull through, and will now necewa is back. the sharks look strong, but havent looked convinsing - which means finalist - but not winner. hurricanes havent got that special something, that added strength to really capitalise on their skills. they need to get some dicipline and knuckle down and start opening up opposition. cheifs are also going well. didnt start well, but cant be overlooked.

but that said - i wouldnt say, whos going to finish 4th - where as i would say who is going to be in the filling up the semis spots. sort of like a boxed 4.

crusaders yes - 1st.
but 2nd,3rd, and 4th will have blues and sharks imo. so the other spot will be cheifs, hurricanes, force, possibly stormers.

so we have 6 teams battleing out for 3 spots. exciting rugby.

Tonight will probably define the Blues season.

Win, and it's steady as she goes, lose and prepare to enter a full nosedive into the ocean... hopefully killing the Pilot Nucifora.

 

[ChiefsFan]

There goes the Blues...

 

[Ripper]

The arrow is pointing to the smouldering remains of what was left of Nucifora's coaching reputation.

At least Nucifora will be gone, and hopefully play David Smith more.

Ferrit head will take you guys down as well, so don't get to chirpy.

Hmm interesting, i would be very surprised now if the Blues can get into the playoffs. They have been cack for a month, i think the Sharks will make second but they need to score a few bonus point wins. With the Stormers,Chiefs and Canes scoring 5 pointers more often than not.

I would revise the top 4 to being the Crusaders,Sharks,Stormers and Chiefs or Hurricanes. Chiefs have to play the Crusaders so i might just go for the Hurricanes who never fail to score some incredible tries.
