Reds coach Ewen McKenzie is confident his resurgent side can advance through the finals with or without five-eighth Quade Cooper.
Cooper was sin binned and later cited for a high tackle on Berrick Barnes in their final round clash with the Waratahs on Saturday.
If found guilty today by the disciplinary committee of making contact with Barnes above the line of the shoulders, there is a chance Cooper will miss the Reds' home ground play-off with the Sharks this weekend.
Meanwhile after eighteen rounds of Super Rugby action the top six teams have been decided along with the venues for this weekend's play offs.
The Stormers finished the season on top of the standings with the Chiefs in second place so the Stormers and the Chiefs have a bye this week.
The Reds finished third on 58 points and Australian conference winners, Crusaders fourth on 61 points, Bulls come in fifth and Sharks 6th with 59 points each.
This means the Reds will host the Sharks at 9:40pm while the Crusaders will face the Bulls at 7:35pm.
Both these games will be played on Saturday.
