Three Australian teams still in the race for Super Rugby playoffs

Three Australian teams still in the race for Super Rugby playoffs

With just two rounds to go, the Super Rugby finals race is heating up and there are three Australian teams in the mix.

The Waratahs took a huge step towards claiming a home final by beating the Rebels in one of the games of the season last weekend while the Brumbies kept their hopes alive when they upset the Hurricanes.

For a chance to go into playoffs in all three conferences, the Waratahs will need two wins to guarantee they top the Australian conference and secure a home final.

The Rebels will also need to win both their games in order to secure their first ever finals berth.

The Brumbies haven’t missed the playoffs since 2012 but the streak is in grave danger this season.

They will also need two wins, ideally with bonus points and other results to go their way.

The Reds are out of finals reckoning but can play spoiler for the Rebels this weekend.

The Rebels will take on the Reds at 9.45pm on Friday.

On Saturday the Brumbies will take on the Chiefs at 5.15pm and the Waratahs will host the Sunwolves later at 9.45pm.
