With more games played, here’s how I update my view of the eventual playoffs.

From the Australasian group, the Chiefs, Crusaders, Hurricanes and Highlanders are very likely to make the playoffs. There will probably be just one Australian team. It’s close between the Rebels, Brumbies and Waratahs.

In South Africa, the Stormers, Lions and Bulls are very likely to be the playoff teams. The Sharks have an outside chance to displace the Lions.
