for example if the Crusaders, Lions, Highlanders & Hurricanes win the semifinals would be:
Crusaders (1) v Highlanders (6)
Lions (2) v Hurricanes (4)
as opposed to if the Crusaders, Lions, Waratahs & Chiefs win
Crusaders (1) v Chiefs (5)
Lions (2) v Waratahs (3)

Winner QF1 (Cru v Sharks) v winner QF2 (Hur v Chiefs)
Winner QF 3 (Lions v Jags) v winner QF4 (War v Highlanders)
If this is the case, you might have watered down final.

Would the semifinal not then be a home game for the winner of the Hurricanes v Chiefs game?
Would make the travel a lot less for the sharks as they are already in NZ....then a final at Ellis...

Yes Pierrebal, the semi is hosted by the higher ranked team i.e. Based on their 1-8 ranking positions.
(So, it's impossible for either the 7th or 8th placed Jags or Sharks to host).
So on that reduced travel basis, lump on the Sharks

Friday .
My early fancy was for the Chiefs on the plus and I'm still confident . Yes, the Cane's might be regaining form at the right moment but they are certainly vulnerable . I just can't shake those three losses in a row and I do feel if the Chiefs can get into a lead there will be a lot of doubt in the Cane's camp.
Medium bet on the best plus for me.
The Crusaders handicap looks well priced . The Sharks could prove dangerous if the passes stick as they look to play with very little pressure on their shoulders . However the Crusaders do look ruthless and I can imagine a strong defensive effort by the home team.
Medium bet on the Sharks points and will be going under at 14-15 points.
Next up I really like the Waratahs this weekend, I really feel they had one eye on this weekend when beaten by the Brumbies last weekend , possibly not a bad result when one remembers that they pushed the Chiefs away from hoem the week before.
They're decent at home while the Highlanders have been vulnerable , i make it my bet of the weekend.
Waratahs on the best plus , medium to high strike.
Finally the Lions host the Jag's . The Lions have proved once again that they are a decent team still and although there were some wobbles during the season they seem to have put that behind them.
The Jag's looked in second gear last Saturday in Durban and can still prove very dangerous , they have the abilty to score points which could trouble the Handicap , however I feel the Lions will look to punish them up front and as a result I feel the opportunities will be there to frustrate and punish the Jag's for any defensive errors.
Medium strike on the best Lions minus.
Can't wait for the weekend .

They did not attempt any last week but were looking at a bonus try win and this is a play-off game where every points count. Not a huge stake as if Canes take a comfortable lead quickly, Chiefs would go for tries only.

My next bet will be Highlanders 1-12 @ 18/10. I cant have the Tahs with no Hooper. They got killed at breakdown last week and Highlanders have picked a loose trio to target this area. And more pace in Highlanders backline for the heavy Tahs backs to deal with.

Playoff game, take the 3 points when on offer early:
Time of first penalty before 19min
Agree it is shaping up as a close game but home advantage is key :
Canes 1-12 @ 2.75
ATS B Barrett @ 2.90

My understanding is that assuming Crusaders win they will definately play the winner of the Hurricanes/Chiefs match in Semi.and the other is likely to be Lions v Waratahs/Highlanders.

added small interest 1st tryscorer - NMS @ 14/1, Ngatai 22/1

On the remaining games I like the Landers to win and all over the Saders minus and Jaguares plus. Will also be taking the Jaguares to win.

Annoyed I hesitated to take Sharks under 19.5 at Sunbet last night line now 18.5 and if Coil gives it the thumbs up I am firing unders
Some chance of rain I gather, also like Souths unders play

As mentioned earlier in the week I expected Sharks points 14-15 , i've therefore emptied the bank on under 19.5 . Will also follow tentatively on under 60,5 as I have been catching the totals badly with regard the Kiwi sides.
Funking for a 36-8 scoreline
