El próximo viernes y sábado, se disputará la última fecha de la fase regular del Super Rugby con siete encuentros. Si bien esta competencia ya tiene clasificados a seis franquicias para disputar los Play-offs, falta definir el pasaporte de Brumbies o Waratahs como líderes de la conferencia de Australia.
Ambos están con 39 unidades y definen todo este fin de semana. De Sharks o Bulls saldrá el wild card disponible en el grupo que une a sudafricanos y a las nuevas franquicias de Jaguares y Sunwolves. Además, todavía no está cerrado la punta en Nueva Zelanda. Chiefs, Highlanders, Hurricanes y Crusaders tienen posibilidades.
