Super Rugby Team of the Week: Week 16
5 Jun 13 09:07 by Maria Delport (Letgo) | 6 Comments
Last weekend again produced an upset or two, further complicating the play-off permutations. The only teams who can now definitely not end in the top 6 are the Highlanders, Kings, Force and Rebels. The Cheetahs will end on at least 50 points since they still have a bye coming up, but should they lose against the Stormers and the Blues, any of the Blues, Waratahs, Hurricanes, Stormers or even Sharks could still technically take their spot in the top 6.. The same goes for the Crusaders on 46 points; if they don’t win at least two of their final three games, they could still miss out on a play-off spot. [...]

Can these Cheetahs dine on steak?
