Ok friends, see you a bit later…

So Brumbies are on 54 points now. 6 points ahead of Reds.
Reds have Landers and Tahs to play. Brumbies have Tahs and Blues still to play at home.
Brumbies can’t slip up now. They will have to beat the Tahs by 5 points and just beat the Blues to keep their lead from the Reds. Reds should beat the Landers and Tahs. Think they will collect one bonus point from one of the wins there. Canes still have Chiefs and a bye. Saders still have Chiefs and Force. Depends on who beats the Chiefs to go through from the Canes or Saders. Think it will be Saders.
Still a few scenarios to look at. Also if Reds slip up against Landers and Sharks beat Bulls and Cheetahs we go though. Though not sure if it is worth it now for my Sharks to make it. The travel would be a monster and really can’t see us beating the likes of the Chiefs. Think we will beat the Brumbies though. So not worth the travel. Would now rather the Shark Boks rest and no injuries (hoping no injuries after the Bulls game) and then be ready for the RC rested.
