Yeah, it does.

Look, I think the top three are going to be sorted.

I just think anything below the three is going to be a little bit of movement.

I think if the Crusaders win, then I think the Brumbies and the Reds will pretty much stay where they are.

They might go fifth or sixth, swapping fifth or sixth.

Because at the moment, you've got the Hurricanes 55, Chiefs 46...

The Crusaders, the Blues 38, Crusaders 36, and then 33 for the Brummies and 32 for the Reds.

So I think there's only going to be a little bit of movement depending if the Crusaders lose, which is a massive possibility depending on the squad that the Hurricanes do pick.

But yeah, there is a bit of movement, I guess, with the derbies that are happening in New Zealand.

But yeah, I think the real only movements, I think, Ross, will just be in the kind of 4, 5, 6, because I think the Blues have got enough points.

And yeah, the Hurricanes and the Chiefs have been able to get a lot more wins during the year.

think even if they do get a bonus point i think they end up on 37 points and then yeah you have to think that both both the reds playing the drew at home and moana at home that they'd be thinking bonus points so yeah there's a possibility that they do finish they do finish six but then you know the hurricanes probably don't want that to happen if you've been brutally honest you probably wanted the the crusaders to get two points somehow or been able to be

They're obviously going to try and beat them.

They're probably just wanting the Chiefs to beat the Blues.

It just gives them an opportunity as well.

It's funny, I think like TJ said, with how close the competition is, these derby games probably make it a little bit harder for the New Zealand teams to be able to finish where they want to.

But yeah, it gives itself a pretty jam-packed action weekend coming up for New Zealand fans.

high tide's a great thing isn't it we can talk about it as analysts after um after a game and it's quite funny over here in japan there's been a few um decisions in it around penalties and one team winning the game and then one team losing the game so um look to be honest ross when i saw it yes i think you say that now and i probably do agree at the time i was like this is a really good time if they do get a try here i think it's too it's going to be too hard for this crusader side um for the rest of the game but

you know going out to eight points you know you still gotta score two try you gotta score a try and a penalty like you know i didn't think it was had that it shouldn't have been that big of a deal where it probably costs in the game now after that decision from the penalty that's where they probably lost the game the things that kind of the domino effects that fell post that but um yeah i thought eight points to be honest i didn't think it was a bad decision in the end going out to two scores they had to score two scores anyway for the crusaders

There was just a couple of moments post that that the Crusaders were able to implement and execute under pressure to be able to give themselves to win.
