ACT Brumbies
Current ladder position: 3rd
Final round: AWAY v Western Force, Saturday 7.35pm AEST
Best possible finish: 1st
Worst possible finish: 3rd
Can snatch the minor premiership with a win and last-round losses for the Blues and Hurricanes, or at least an all-important top-two finish with victory and one loss from their two New Zealand rivals.
Queensland Reds
Current ladder position: 5th
Final round: AWAY vs NSW Waratahs, Friday, 7.35pm AEST
Best possible finish: 5th
Worst possible finish: 5th
Certain to finish fifth but will fancy their chances of repeating their hoodoo-busting win in New Zealand last year over the Chiefs in a guaranteed quarter-final in Waikato.
Melbourne Rebels
Current ladder position: 7th
Final round: AWAY vs Fijian Drua, Saturday, 1205pm AEST
Best possible finish: 6th
Worst possible finish: 8th
In a fairytale turned nightmare, the Rebels head to Lautoka with their future fate doomed despite qualifying for the finals for the first time in the club's 14-year history.
Western Force
Current ladder position: 9th
Final round: HOME vs ACT Brumbies, Saturday 735pm AEST
Best possible finish: 8th
Worst possible finish: 10th
Facing a simple scenario of needing to beat the Brumbies and praying the Fijian Drua slip up at home against the Rebels to scrape into the playoffs.
NSW Waratahs
Current ladder position: 12th
Final round: HOME vs Queensland Reds, Friday 735pm AEST
Best possible finish: 12th
Worst possible finish: 12th
Their fate sealed, the wooden spooners are playing for little more than pride and outgoing coach Darren Coleman in a derby with their arch rivals that will have no bearing on the competition table.
