[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 798685, member: 39190"] There are actually a number of teams that might make it or not. I think its safe to say that NZ will have 4 teams go through. I can't see both 'Tahs and Brumbies getting past the bottom NZ team on the log. The placement of the NZ I'm not going to touch on though its so close. In the Oz conference its just as close betwee the Waratahs and Brumbies. I don't think both will go through but I can't split the two. I don't think either has a particularly more daunting fixture list, maybe the 'Tahs' are slightly more difficult but both play the Blues and Sunwolves, the Brumbies have the Force and Hurricanes, the 'Tahs the Reds and Chiefs both possibly slightly tougher opposition bu they have 1 point in hand over the Brumbies. Probably I'll give it to the Brumbies simply because they have 1 more win as is and that is the first tie breaker ahead of points difference is it not? The SA conference is also difficult to predict. I see the Lions as going through by topping the Sharks who are down 1 game and 2 points to the Lions. Its impossible to say who of the Stormers or Bulls might top our log its that close and we might both go through ahead of the Sharks if we win our games but the Bulls have a tough game or two still and the Stormers have been in terrible form since we've lost Etzebth, Vermaak and Du Preez and gained De Allende who is struggling for form but at least he has been slowly improving and Etzebeth is back even if not in pre-injury form yet. Vermaak is out for the entire season but we could see Du Preez back. I'd actualy prefer to see Kolbe at 9 and one of Du Preez or Du Plessis at 15. We need to make changes or find another two gears but Fleck doesn't seem willing to adapt. [/QUOTE]
