[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 866411, member: 43875"] crazy scenario give some credit to the lions, they are clearly the best team outside NZ but do they deserve the #1 spot and home advantage through the finals with the easy draw they have had? IMO No and I think its an absolute travesty. And they have also avoided playing a NZ team in the quater final as well... Get a rematch with the sharks which shouldn't be too much trouble for them in the meantime the crusaders and Highlanders will have another epic battle that will be hard to pick. The Hurricanes are sure to beat the Brumbies, I cant see that going any other way. I think the chiefs are clearly a better side than the Stormers but travel is a huge factor. The chiefs trip started with a 2am bus to Auckland on Sunday morning after playing Saturday evening, for a flight to Sydney to catch another flight to Cape Town, via Johannesburg. its an evil travel schedule. While the Stormers aren't as good as the NZ teams this year they wont be the pushovers they were last year. so SF's likely to be? Lions vs hurricanes Crusaders vs. Chiefs not a givin, highlanders wont be easy beats, stormers will be tough for travel wary chiefs. But Lions vs canes is almost a lockin, I do like the hurricanes for this game, will be interesting to see if Dane Coles is back by then?? [/QUOTE]
