Well, it's up to the Chiefs now to not choke the final and make sure neither the Blues nor the Crusaders win a trophy again.
Hard luck Brumbies, always a good team that's regularly making the semis. Would be good to see them take the next step and reach a final.

Like, Super Rugby has gotten WAY more fun now the Crusaders are beatable (still good, competitive team) and the Aus teams turning up and MP winning games and last year's champs struggling.
URC has like 10 teams all scrapping on 33-37 points. It's exciting! Everyone can beat each other!

With all the terrible WRU workplace misconduct, hiring someone who has been under investigation for bullying before isn't the best optics, even if he was cleared...

Big quandry about the Welsh game. We do lack a power game now after the "golden team" we had, but can you run an efficient attack at international level without a power game to match?
I do think we looked better with some smarter and faster attack plays but it got found out quite quickly...

Predictions are: Chiefs Win, Moana Pasifika Win, Hurricanes Win, Blues Win, Brumbies Win.
Chiefs are absolutely going to lose to someone random like Western Force or the Highlanders at some point in the season, but they will lock in for the Crusaders.
MP are going to win every game they play 😇

BTW - it's a HUGE result for the Brumbies to pick up a win in Fiji because the Drua knock over a lot of teams in their home patch.
Crusaders picking up a win against the Canes is a big step forward for them after last year's disaster campaign.

My wife gifted me some PERFECT fuel for a Sunday catching up on 5 banging Super Rugby Pacific games.
Gutted for Moana Pasifika losing by one point but oooooh boy I am SO ready for "defence optional" rugby.

34-all is crazy! The results today are SO odd. English Prem is in a bit of a conundrum to be honest - not sure 10 teams is enough but with teams consistently making losses year on year who would be a sustainable addition?
