The finals fate of two Australian Super Rugby teams remain uncertain before the final round of the regular season.

AUSTRALIAN TEAMS' SUPER RUGBY EQUATION

1 - BRUMBIES (4th overall v Queensland Reds in Canberra, Saturday)

With the Australian conference wrapped up, a home quarter-final is certain regardless of the result.

2 - MELBOURNE REBELS (8th v Chiefs in Melbourne on Friday)

Victory guarantees a maiden finals appearance. Defeat means the opposite unless they bag a bonus point. Even then they'd be a long shot.

3 - NSW WARATAHS (12th v Highlanders in Invercargill on Friday)

Slim mathematical chance only. Must nab a bonus point win in the round's opening match and hope other results fall their way.

4 - QUEENSLAND REDS (14th v Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday)

No shot at the finals. A win or draw could see them improve on last year's second-last placing overall.
