Writing in his column for the Sydney Morning Herald, former Wallabies captain John Eales insists the Australian Super 14 sides must grab their opportunity for southern hemisphere glory.
"'You've got to get them while they've got a hard-on." The words of legendary celebrity manager Harry M. Miller are just as relevant for the teams battling for semi-final positions in the Super 14 logjam today.
"Miller's words were about taking opportunity when it was presented. For him it was about selling a personality while they were hot because you're never sure how long the window may be open. For the teams competing for a chance in the Super 14 finals it is similarly about not wasting an opportunity.
"The completed weekend's round provided a tale of both lost opportunity and growing possibility as many teams with scope to secure semi-final positions wasted it, and the ensuing logjam on the ladder might find a few of them ruing their carelessness. As it sits now there are still seven teams with a more than reasonable opportunity to claim a play-off spot."
