[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 414477, member: 42683"] Let's not go there again. NZ teams have too much quality to push them in the victim-role. Come on, Blues and Crusaders both made the play off semi's. The Reds have beaten the Bulls, Crusaders and Stormers. 3 semi-finalists of last year! The Stormers have had the most solid defence, conceding the least tries in the whole competition with 18, which is 9 less than the Crusaders, 14 less than the Reds. The Reds and Stormers have travelled very well and deserved to be in the top 2. And the Crusaders are still right up there. Yes, they had to play the majority of their matches in Nelson, which is the home ground of Tasman, which is part of the franchise so it's not completely neutral ground or an away-game. I am getting a bit tired of people complaining how the Crusaders have played all matches as away matches this year. Come on! If they would have played every match in Auckland, Dunedin or Wellington, then yes. But now, they've played matches still within the franchise area. [/QUOTE]
