[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 866687, member: 39190"] Is everyone up to date on the revised play-off format from last year? Last year it was straight up based on the final log and kept checking back to that. This year (because there are too many people who are now up to speed with the convoluted format) we have the log determining the QF but from there the tournament is split into two sections leading to the final; Section 1 Lions (1) v Sharks (8) winner vs winner of Brumbies (4) v Hurricanes (5) in a SF Section 2 Crusaders (2) v Highlanders (7) winner vs winner of Stormers (3) v Chiefs (6) in the other SF I think its safe enough to assume the Lions and Hurricanes will get past their QF and face off in Jo'Burg so I am not going to go through a lot of scenarios. I will go through the perfect Stormers scenario (see what I did there?) though where not overly unlikely results lead to a Newlands final; QF; Lions (H) > Sharks Highlanders > Crusaders (H) Hurricanes > Brumbies (H) Stormers (H) > Chiefs SF; Hurricanes > Lions (H) Stormers (H) > Highlanders F; Stormers (H) > Hurricanes knackered from hopping from Canberra to Jo'Bur to Cape Town Not at all ridiculous but still very unlikely. Stormers in it with a shot. You heard it here first. I am not optimistic enough to ask for the Brumbies and Sharks to make the final 'easier'. [/QUOTE]
