Matt Hodgson, Force captain
Our last Super Rugby highlight’s package before the international break.
Waratahs secure their spot at the top of the Australian conference with a win over the Chiefs, Crusaders roll on with a big win over the Force. Pretty much ever team at the bottom of the table picks up a win and the Sharks jeopardize their hopes of a home grand final.
When Super Rugby starts up again on June 27, there are some big matches which will shape the top six.
Tahs have two tough matches coming up against the Brumbies and the Highlanders, but have home ground advantage for both.
Crusaders play Hurricanes, Highlanders and Blues. Highlanders don’t have it much easier with the Chiefs on top of the other games already mentioned. Hurricanes also play the Chiefs and have a bye in the final round.
The Force play at home to the Blues and Reds before a tough final game away to the Brumbies. And on top of the games mentioned, the Brumbies still have a round 18 bye to come.
The Sharks have a bye and two away games to the Cheetahs and Stormers, and they can’t afford to drop either of them if they still harbour hopes of hosting the grand final.
There are some mouth-watering, action packed rounds still to come. But, here are the highlights from round 16. Enjoy.
