Righto kids, it's down to the final three Mullet, Kirwan and BayImports.  All three survivors have yet to select the Crusaders or Cheetahs, and both Mullet and BayImports have the Bulls as well.
What will be intriguing is to see if any of them risk selecting the Cheetahs before the final round.
Let's meet the final three, with odds supplied by the Competition Committee.

THE FAVOURITE  :  MULLET $2.10
Still available * Capital letter = Home Game
Brumbies - Hurricanes, Reds, BLUES, Chiefs
Bulls - CHIEFS, FORCE, CHEETAHS, Sharks
Crusaders - Cheetahs, Lions, REDS, Blues
Cheetahs - CRUSADERS, WARATAHS, Bulls, STORMERS

Three of Mullet's 4 teams have a fairly solid run in over the final 4 rounds.  The Crusaders look to have found some form and should win at least 3 of their remaining games.  The Brumbies have been in good winning form over the last few weeks and despite having a hard run in we at the committee think their momentum makes them a good option.  The Bulls should be back to bullet-proof back home and with Matfield returning.  Which leaves the Cheetahs..  Whom we suspect Mullet and the others will try and leave until last.

Path to the Finals
1-Lions  2-Force  3-Reds  4-Hurricanes  5-Blues  6-Highlanders  7-Sharks  8-Waratahs  9-Highlanders  10-Chiefs

THE SECOND SEED  :  BAYIMPORTS $2.35
Still available * Capital letter = Home Game
Bulls - CHIEFS, FORCE, CHEETAHS, Sharks
Cheetahs - CRUSADERS, WARATAHS, Bulls, STORMERS
Crusaders - Cheetahs, Lions, REDS, Blues
Waratahs - BYE, Cheetahs, Sharks, Lions

Since the Bulls, Cheetahs and Crusaders are also common to Mullet, the committee has decided that the poor recent form of the Waratahs is what holds BayImports back from being the favourite to win it all from here.
The Tahs are a risky proposition since all of their games are away from home, and also since they have a habit of getting arrested in pubs when touring South Africa.
The committee expects to see BayImports selecting the Waratahs in round 12, following on form a successful Crusaders pick this week.

Path to the Finals
1-Lions  2-Force  3-Reds  4-Hurricanes  5-Stormers  6-Highlanders  7-Sharks  8-Brumbies  9-Blues  10-Chiefs

THE OUTSIDER  :  KIRWAN $10.00
Still available
Crusaders - Cheetahs, Lions, REDS, Blues
Force - LIONS, Bulls, Stormers, HIGHLANDERS
Cheetahs - CRUSADERS, WARATAHS, Bulls, STORMERS
Lions - Force, CRUSADERS, HIGHLANDERS, WARATAHS

Well the Crusaders should win this week so we should see Kirwan around for round 12.   With the Force, Cheetahs and Lions all out of play-off contention The Committee feels that some upsets will need to go Kirwan's way to give him any chance of making it through to the end, hence the long odds.

Path to the Finals
1-Bulls  2-Stormers  3-Reds  4-Hurricanes  5-Blues  6-Highlanders  7-Sharks  8-Waratahs  9-Brumbies  10-Chiefs
