    I really want the Chiefs to win because if they don’t the whinging about the ref and blaming others will be unbearable….

      If it's Berry, the chiefs at least have a chance.

      Any kiwi ref (or Gardner). Chiefs may as well just stay home and play fortnite.

            Went Chiefs...

            ... partially with the heart ...

            ... but partially on the back of a member of Peter Thorburn's Flat Earth Society on ZB on Saturday who observed that the Chiefs can handle the NZ teams, but struggle against the Aussie teams/style.

            Seemed a reasonable theory.

            Having said that ... wouldn't be surprised if the Saders Sade it easy, because Saders.

            But have made my call. Chiefs by the squeak of their bum.

              Rain forecast so I'm picking a test match type intensity grindfest.

              A low scoring affair but I'm picking the Chiefs forwards and kicking game will just edge the Crusaders.

              This will age well when both teams put on a blazing display of open field rugby with 80+ points being scored.

                    Crusaders in a canter. They just have a knack of coming good this time of year.

                    Blues were poor last week, but mainly Crusaders were good.

                    Nah, Crusaders played their final last week, can't see them backing up such a performance, on the other hand Chiefs didn't really fire against the Reds & Brumbies, so I have a feeling Chiefs will probably step up a gear & put it all together for the finale.

                      And if Razor manages to beat them, despite all that and them having to ask his old school friend's nephew's class to play because of injury, Razor will ascend into rugby heaven.

                        Bryn Hall was pretty adamant that the Chiefs had peaked early, and the Crusaders would win.

                          Crusaders peaked a week early, England 2019 all over again.

                          Chiefs should be hitting peak 2.

                                This is a tough one to call, a week ago I would have said Chiefs for sure, but Crusaders put out such a dominate performance... Really looking forward to it, have no preference who wins. But if I had to make a call, going with Crusaders now.

                                  This will definitely be sold out. The ticket site can't handle the traffic. They should have put in a queue system.

                                    I'm really looking forward to this game, but at the same time I'm worried more ABs will get injuried. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen.

                                          Got my tickets this morning thanks to a friend having more patience than me with a crashing website.

                                          The Crusaders have played their final in the semi-final and have peaked a week to early, their opposed training run last week was the worst possible preparation for the intensity of a final as compared to what the Chiefs have been through in the last 2 weeks.

                                          These half-grains of truth mixed in with lies are what I'm telling myself to ward off the fears that the Crusaders are going to produce another 40 point thrashing at the business end of the season.
