[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 516682, member: 24910"] I'm not sure about this, as getting second doesn't mean they will avoid the Crusaders - in fact I personally think they are [I]more likely[/I] to face the Crusaders now in the semis (then have an away final against the Stormers if they manage to win). Being second means they face the highest ranked qualifier in week 2 of the playoffs - this will only be the Brumbies [I]if [/I]the Brumbies win their first round playoff match against the Bulls/Sharks/Hurricanes/Reds, and the way the Brumbies have been going recently I don't think they would be favourites against any of those teams (even at home). Interestingly the Brumbies have only beaten 1 of the top 8 teams this season (the Hurricanes) - they have lost to the Bulls, Sharks, Reds (twice), and Chiefs, while they had a bye against the Crusaders and Stormers. There is still a (remote) chance that the Brumbies wont even make the playoffs if they fail to secure a point against the Blues today.... [/QUOTE]
