Sports



[ad_1]

Only two laps to go, the Super Rugby race is getting ready and there are three Australian teams.

The Waratahs took a big step forward to win a home final by beating the Rebels in a weekend game while the Brumbies kept their low playoff hopes with a comeback from Hurricanes.

Here's what rival teams have to do to break the playoffs in all three conferences.

AUSTRALIAN CONFERENCE

1: Waratahs (39 points)

Returning home: Sunwolves (home), Brumbies (home)

State of play: A victory would guarantee them a place in the final.

Two wins would guarantee that they dominated the Australian conference and secured a home final.

Two more points wins would ensure that they finish second.

If the finals started today: The Waratahs would receive the Highlanders – which they defeated in May to take a 40-game horror match against Australian teams against Kiwi opponents.

2: Rebels (35 points)

The house of the race: Reds (absent), Highlanders (absent)

State of play: Two victories would secure the first place of the Rebels in the final.

The Melbourne club entered Super Rugby in 2011 and their previous best performance was 10th in 2015.

If the final started today: The Rebels would have an intimidating journey through the Tasman to play the reigning Crusader champion in Christchurch.

3: Brumbies (29 points)

The return home: Chiefs (party), Waratahs (party)

Status: The Brumbies have not missed the finals since 2012 but the series is in serious danger this season.
Dan McKellar's men need two wins (ideally with bonus points) and other results their way.

If the finale began today: The Brumbies would watch on TV and munch on hamburgers at the Ben Alexander's Canberra Pub.

4: Reds (19 points)

The return home: Rebels (home), Sunwolves (home)

Status: The Reds are out of the finals, but they can play for the rebels this weekend.

The Brumbies and Waratah will encourage them.

If the final started today: Brad Thorn would run his players to Ballymore.

The former Sunwolves mascot & # 39; Pinging & # 39; had another difficult season.

The ancient Sunwolves have experienced another tough season mascot "Pinging."

5: Sunwolves (14 points)

The return home: Waratahs (absent), Reds (absent)

State of Play: Are on the right track for the wooden spoon and their last clash with the Reds could potentially decide who claims this unwanted kitchen utensil.

If the finale began today: The Sunwolves were clinking small cups of ceramic sake with the controversial old mascot Pinging in a dive bar in Roppongi.

CONFERENCE OF NEW ZEALAND

1: Crusaders (54 points)

The house of the race: Highlanders (home ), Blues (home)

State of play: The defending champions are guaranteed a quarter-final at home.

Scott Robertson's troops only need to win one more game to finish first overall and secure a home advantage for the entire final.

If the final started today: The Crusaders would be the hot favorites against the rebels in a fresh AMI stadium.

2: Hurricanes (45 points)

The Homecoming: Blues (home), Chiefs (absent)

State of play: The Canes have a guaranteed place in the final.

But, after losing 10 wins in a row, the crowd of Chris Boyd had the speed swings having lost their last three.

If the final started today: Welcome the fitness leaders at Westpac Stadium.

3: Chiefs (41 points)

The return home: Brumbies (home), Hurricanes (home)

State of Play: Colin Cooper's men only need one bonus point to qualify for the finals.

This is a point that they should have had in their big win over the Highlanders in Suva, but they missed that opportunity by inflicting a late penalty instead.

If the final started today: A clash on the outside with the Hurricanes.
