[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 411945, member: 24910"] It wouldn't have made any difference if the Crusaders got the bonus point or not. A bonus point would have put them on 62 points; if the Stormers win they too would be on 62 points, but would be ahead of the Crusaders as they won more games. If the Stormers only get 3 points from the Cheetahs match (4 tries in a drawn match) it would put them equal with the Crusaders, but the Crusaders will be ahead of them because of superior points differential. So in conclusion, if the Stormers win they will be ahead of the Crusaders, or if they lose/draw they would be behind the Crusaders, regardless of whether the Crusaders got a bonus point of not.... The Crusaders first priority was (rightly) to win the match; if they hadn't kicked their penalties they may well have lost, as they only won by 7. There was only one try scored in the whole match from counterattack on halfway, so it wasn't as if try scoring was easy either. [/QUOTE]
