| Can the Chiefs make it three in a row? |
The shape of the 2014 Super Rugby playoffs has been confirmed.
The Waratahs and Crusaders earned a bye next weekend as a result of finishing 1st and 2nd respectively.
Last season's finalists, the Brumbies will host current double champions, the Chiefs next Saturday night in Canberra while South African conference winners, the Sharks will host the Highlanders several hours later in Durban.
The Brumbies have a chance at revenge against the Chiefs who beat them in the Final last year - and beat them in Canberra earlier this season - and are in hot form at the moment. The Chiefs have found their championship form at the right time even if they aren't quite at their best.
The Sharks will also be looking at redemption against the Highlanders who shocked them in Durban earlier in the season. The Sharks ended a two game losing streak with victory over the Stormers in Cape Town to avenge their defeat several weeks ago, while the Highlanders should have Ben Smith back after missing him against the Crusaders due to a leg infection.
My tips - Brumbies and Sharks to win. Brumbies to play Waratahs in Sydney, Sharks to play Crusaders in Christchurch.
