South African relegation

Originally, the fifth-place South African side was to be replaced by the Spears, who were initially planned to compete in the 2007 and 2008 competitions. The Southern Spears, a South African Super 14 Rugby union franchise were originally intended to participate in that competition in 2007 The 2007 Super 14 season started in February 2007 with preseason matches held from mid-January The 2008 Super 14 season started in February 2008 with pre-season matches held from mid-January However, the South African Rugby Union (SARU) revisited the decision to admit the Spears, and announced on 19 April 2006 that the Spears would not enter the competition. ^[1]

On 5 August 2006, the High Court of South Africa threw a potential monkey wrench into the 2007 season when it issued its ruling in the Spears' legal challenge to the decision. The High Court of South Africa is a Court of Law in South Africa. It ruled that the Spears had a valid contract with SA Rugby, the commercial arm of SARU, to be included in the 2007 and 2008 Super 14. SA Rugby and SARU are expected to appeal the decision. ^[2] If the Spears win their court challenge, the Lions, the new name for the Cats, will be relegated for 2007 and will play a test match with the lowest South African team on the 2007 ladder, other than the Spears, for a place in the 2008 competition. The Lions, known as the Cats through the 2006 season, are a South African Rugby union franchise that competes in the Super Rugby competition A test match in football is a match played at the end of a season between a team that has done badly in a higher league and one that has done well in a lower league

On 8 September 2006, the Golden Lions Rugby Union, the company that operates the Cats franchise, announced that the franchise would be known in the future as the Lions. The Lions, known as the Cats through the 2006 season, are a South African Rugby union franchise that competes in the Super Rugby competition ^[3]

This meant the Brumbies did not even need to defeat the Crusaders to secure their semi-final berth; they only needed to collect a bonus point by scoring four tries or staying within 7 points of the Crusaders.

However, the Brumbies lost 33-3 and failed to secure any competition points at all, leaving the door open for the two South African teams. The Sharks played first, needing to win with a bonus point for four tries scored and a points differential of more than ten in their game against the Force. The Sharks duly achieved both and moved into fourth position on the table.

The Sharks were overtaken by the Bulls after the Bulls' 43-10 win over the Stormers. The Bulls needed to score four or more tries and win by at least 32 points and won by 33, securing the final spot after having the longest odds of the three teams that could have earned 4th.

Semi-Finals

The first semi final saw the Hurricanes defeat the Waratahs in Wellington. This was the first ever semi final victory for the Hurricanes and the Waratahs second loss - the first being the Brumbies 51-10 victory in 2002. The Crusaders made it two semi final defeats in a row for the Bulls, after a crushing 35-15 win. This sets up the Crusaders fifth straight appearance in the final and their 8th final appearance in the last 9 seasons. As the Crusaders were higher on the ladder than the Hurricanes the final was played at Jade Stadium, Christchurch on May 27.

Gorillas in the Mist is a 1988 film which tells the true-life The opposite side of the field was barely visible, and the advertisements were unreadable. The players thus had a very tough time, especially the penalty kickers on each side, who both misjudged the distance to the goalposts and fell short. Players of international calibre made unusual mistakes due to the eerie fog that engulfed the stadium. The Sky Sports announcers were forced to split commentary on the game, as they could not make out anything from the commentary box, so the sideline commentator had to fill in what they could not see.

No tries were scored in the first half; all points came from penalties, leading to a half-time score of 6-3 to the Crusaders. In the second half, more penalties were awarded leading to a score of 9-all, before the Crusaders scored a converted try through Casey Laulala. Daniel Carter kicked another penalty bringing it to 19-9. Jimmy Gopperth then kicked another penalty with 10 minutes remaining, bringing the final score to 19-12.
