It's down to the business end of Super Rugby, so that means time is running out for TVNZ's rugby experts to make a move on the ladder.
Just the two matches this week - Crusaders v Hurricanes in Christchurch and Jaguares v Brumbies in Argentina.
It's two points for picking the winner, and one extra for getting the margin correct.

Hurricanes 1-12: Total heart over head, but with an unassailable lead, I'm backing my Canes to go all the way. Beauden Barrett and Ardie Savea to stamp their class ahead of All Blacks season.
Jaguares 1-12
Brodyn Knuckey - 1 NEWS NOW sports producer
Jaguares 13+: Jags will be brimming with confidence from last week. Expect the long haul to have an impact as well.
Crusaders 1-12: Hurricanes will jump out to a lead before ol’ reliable comes back to win it with that experienced pack. Excited for the clash of 10s!

Andrew Saville - 1 NEWS sports presenter
Crusanders 1-12: Hopefully tight, hopefully a Kiwi classic. Just can’t see the Canes getting up over that Crusaders pack.
Jaguares 1-12: They’ve come this far, and despite the decent Brumbies pack and attack, I don’t think the Jags will drop this one at home.
Abby Wilson - 1 NEWS sports reporter
Jaguares 13+: The Brumbies don't stand a chance.
Hurricanes 1-12: Based on nothing other than my want of this result. Surely the Crusaders can't always win playoff matches at home. Surely.

Crusaders 13+: To beat the Crusaders at home you’re going to have to score five tries and get 30 points plus. The last time a team that did that was the Hurricanes, winning 35-10 in 2016 - which was the last time the Crusaders lost at home!
Jagures 13+: Their time has come. Can’t see the Brumbies beating a team who has won 10 of their last 11 games.
