Scotty Donaldson looks at Super Rugby Round 18 action. The finals are just around the corner who are you picking to win these matches and make the finals?
Super Rugby Round 18 is set to be a cracker with eight teams in the running for six finals spots. There is plenty to play for with the Hurricanes vs Chiefs the most influential game of the round with both teams still in with a chance. This is also the toughest match to pick. There should be two easy matches to pick with the Stormers and Crusaders likely victors, although they have both made some interesting selections as they attempt to freshen players up with an eye to the finals. Robbie Fruean and Sam Whitelock are two good www.testrugby.com points scoring players and the Stormers will be playing usual hooker Deon Fourie at Number Eight.
There are also some potential banana skins, although this may not even end up affecting the playoffs too much, but I think that the Blues and Lions who were the two easybeats for most of the season, have the potential to push the Brumbies and Bulls close, so these two teams had better be onguard. The Sharks will probably be missing Bismarck du Plessis for their clash with the Cheetahs, they may also not have Willem Alberts. The Reds vs Waratahs will be close because these two teams hate each other and the Reds will probably struggle to get the four try victory they need to have a shot at the playoffs.
When making www.testrugby.com selections for Round 18, select players who will be in the finals depending on how many trades you have.
I am picking the teams to finish in the following order, Top Six
Chiefs
Stormers
Brumbies
Crusaders
Sharks
Bulls
