[QUOTE="Andyd96, post: 798687, member: 73984"] i wouldnt be surprised if there was quite a shake up in the nz conference with the amount of local derbies. probably i bit biased because i'm a staunch highlanders supporter but i wouldnt be surprised at all if they end up on top. they have the canes this weekend which will be a tough match but if they come out on top they have two matches you would expect them to win quite comfortably, against the kings and jaguares (both away) and then they have the chiefs in dunedin, if the landers play like they did a few weeks back i dont see why the result would change-especially with the local support. the crusaders have a very tough run in with the blues, chiefs, rebels and canes. the chiefs and canes offering plenty and could easily go either way. the blues, while inconsistent are not easy beats, know they have to win to have a shot at the playoffs and could be giant killers. Similar situation with the rebels. the chiefs have the tah's in sydney, you would expect the chiefs to win but they are injury stricken. followed up by the crusaders-a 50/50 match, the reds which should be easy beats and the landers in dunedin. while the blues are still a theoretical chance, i dont see them making it with a tough run in and their inconsistency. the canes should make it in considering they are 7 points in front of the brumbies and 6 in front of the tah's. but both the canes and tah's have tough runs in and play each other in a couple weeks. wouldnt be surprised if the winner of that game gets through while the loser misses out. while the brumbies have a relatively easy run in and imo should end up top of the aussie conference so in short, the landers, chiefs and crusaders are already pretty much through. if the landers continue to play the way they have been they WILL end up top of the table. it hurts to say but i think the waratahs will end up in the playoffs over the canes. their match in syndey will be crucial [/QUOTE]
