Super Rugby Final 2018
-
Lions now favourites as its revealed that Crusaders have to pay their travel costs and Crusaders can not afford Powerade for half time.
-
The biggest problem in 2003 was that Mehrts, Leon MacDonald, Caleb Ralph and Mark Robinson were replaced by carthorses. The resulting team had a distinctly flaky, non-Cantablacks look to it and after some flashy substance-lacking footy we bombed out in the game that mattered.

Fatty Savea in the last couple of years would have run him close (and before you Savea fluffers have a hernia, no I'm not referencing the pre fat quick version).
@shark You forgot to mention Ben Blair.

Not bad, slightly overdone, and loses points for the flashy carthorse paradox
2/10 would not bite

That 2003 team was actually quite divided, or at least cliquey (sp). I was living in Melbourne at the time and the couple of times I saw the ABs around and/or in pics in the paper, there was a Canterbury group, an Auckland group, and the rest.
Were the Canterbury group all passing the phone around to talk to grandad?

Head to $1.09 / $7.50
Crusaders been there all week Lions slipped from $7.00 earlier in week.
Has there been another final where one team was supposedly gonna walk it so easy before?

@taniwharugby Perfect for an insurance bet!
I don't expect the Crusaders to lose, but an early red card and the whole landscape changes.

Yep.
If I were the Lions, I'd be throwing up a lot of contestable high kicks early, and getting people up in teh air to get it. One small misjudgement, and someone cops a red. If it's you - c'est la vie. If it's the Saders, you're probably goign to win.
