Tahs 22 Toulouse 26

Tah's backline has no balance to it. Toulouse steal it at end with better bench

Waratahs 12 - 24 Toulouse

Toulouse have built a beastly front 5!

Tahs 16-24 Toulouse

Canes 18-21 Crusaders

Waratars 19 - 19 Toulouse
Motm: Picamoles


Hurricanes 24 - 25 Crusaders
Motm: Yachvilli

Waratahs 15 - 24 Toulouse

I think the Tahs would find it difficult at set piece time. The centre partnership is a bit lightweight and would get found out by Toulouse's experienced midfield.

Hurricanes 12 - 10 Crusaders

A dogged affair, Crusaders dealt with the Cane's world class backline well but failed to take their opportunities. Coopers boot seals the win.

I made it too a final!!!!!!!!!!




Which isn't 7s
