Semifinals

· We’ve already established the Reds and Stormers would host home semifinals.

· But to determine who plays who in the semifinal is another matter, as the competition rules state the highest-ranked qualifier would play the team ranked second. This means should the Crusaders (3rd) win their playoff game, they would face the Stormers, with the winner of the other game facing the Reds.

· However, should the Crusaders lose to the Sharks, then the Stormers would face the highest ranked team, ie the winner of the other playoff game.

· The Reds would automatically face the lowest ranked qualifier, showing how important it was to top the log and the reward that goes with it.

No, no, no you got it all wrong, Jean! It is not about the teams, but as I understand it - 3rd plays 1st  seed that winner plays the Stormers. 2nd seed against 3rd seed and the winner there plays the 1st place Reds.
