[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 852445, member: 43875"] true, lions have got an entire draw without any games against NZ teams. And a weak conference, we know they are good, they were good last year. But despite that they did drop a game to the Jag's again. there are two sides to the limp easy draw. more easy games and bonus points more chances to rest players potentially less injuries pretty much a dead certain playoff position and home finals. The drawback is that they are probably going to hit a NZ team when the finals start and it will be by far their biggest test/challenge of the season. The Lions probably should have got the #1 spot last year but gave it away and it cost them. Crusaders need to pull off a maybe the most remarkable season ever to keep the #1 spot now. But they absolutely deserve it, but I can see the crusaders losing that final away game... The lions are a good team but for them to have that #1 spot would be a complete injustice. I blame Australia again, the Brumbies should have beaten the Lions... Its the absolute least they could have done... I do kinda get the feeling that come finals time a NZ team can go over and tip the lions up this year. NZ teams are more used to big close games. But the injury count is also a factor from those clashes. [/QUOTE]
