Because that's clearly what everyone has been saying here.
I don't think anyone on this forum believes the Reds didn't deserve their place in the play-offs, nor that they were undeserving of the Super Rugby title. The Reds did nothing wrong all season, won the games they had to, and ultimately put in a better play in the final to take the competition.
The problem people have, is with the tournament itself, which favours the Australian sides. In a more fair competition perhaps the Crusaders would've had home advantage for the finals. Of course this was not the case, the Reds did all they could, and won the title, so congratulations to them. They are deserved champions of the current Super Rugby competition, taking full advantage of the format.
