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.

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

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

@mikedogz This is when being a season member is an advantage. Our tickets were sorted on Monday.

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.

I'm backing the boys from Hamilton in a close fought encounter, I just think the Chiefs have had the Crusader's number recently and that's got to have some sort of impact going into a game like this. If Blackadder and Whitelock were fit I would be picking the red and blacks, but I just think they are missing too much experience against what has been a quality Chiefs outfit this year.
Chiefs by 5 with big Guzzler sealing the deal with a try under the sticks.

It was always going to be O'Keeffe after the SF appointments.
Start engraving the trophy for the Cantabs now.

You've really got things the wrong way around with the refs. Bok is probably the only kiwi ref they have a chance under.
