The Super Rugby playoffs start this weekend with the Sharks at the Lions, the Highlanders at the Crusaders, the Chiefs at the Stormers, and the Hurricanes at the Brumbies. The playoff matchups are incredibly stupid and I for one look forward to the changes next season:
-The Blues missed the playoffs despite having the 8th highest points total
-The Lions finished first overall due to an easy schedule with no games against New Zealand teams
-The Canes will be traveling to Canberra despite finishing with twice as many wins and 25 more points than the Brumbies.
-The Chiefs will be travelling to Cape Town despite finishing with 14 more points than the Stormers.
