We could be looking at a repeat of 2001 when no New Zealand teams made the Super rugby play-offs according to Richard Loe in the New Zealand Herald.
"I'm certainly not confident - or at least I wouldn't bet the farm - on any of our sides making it through.
"Before they headed offshore, the Crusaders were sitting just where they wanted to be. Now they have lost two in a row and I can't see them beating the Bulls in Pretoria next weekend.
"With their confidence down and the travel factor to consider, I think they will also find it difficult to come home and beat the Brumbies in their final game.
"The Hurricanes have improved in recent weeks but, again, I can't see them winning both of their last two games. They might win one, but not two."
