    @KiwiMurph yeah but if they win with a bonus point then it will most likely mean the winner of the Crusaders v Blues will take the crown.

    No the Crusaders have to lose another game for that last match to be a 'final'. They have 3 games left:

      Walden to be named in the starting side and last 5 minutes before receiving a red card for viciously taking out DC off the ball.

      Hammett to be interviewed at halftime and just say "See!".

              KW outs himself as the guy getting professional rugby players to take others out.

              "We" indeed. Don't try and get me involved in your filthy gang mate.

                    The missus has convinced me that we should go down for this game so I'll be attending this game. I think shes worried that I'll break the TV one day during a Blues game hence the reason to drag me to dunners instead haha but Im not complaining, never been to forsyth Barr before which I'm looking forward to seeing.

                    I feel like an upset could be on here. We usually get done down there and Smith really does lift the rest of the side.

                            I've been there once, for a test match. Stadium is nice but our seats in the temporary stadium on the end were tight as, and the other facilities were pretty scant

                                @African-Monkey you'll love it, a great place to watch rugby. I went in 2011, and was blown away by it - just a wonderful stadium, one of the top 3 rugby in NZ (NH, Waikato, Dunedin).

                                  Hopefully Sotutu is back this week.

                                  If DC is ready to go, I think he'll replace Plummer on the bench.

                                    @Kiwiwomble Yeah sitting in the North Stand. Looks a good view from there so looks like I chose the right stand then haha.

                                      Despite Beauden Barrett taking a limited part in training today as he recovers from the knock to the ribs he sustained against the Chiefs, he is expected to retain his place at first five-eighth, with Otere Black likely to come off the bench and Matt Duffie at fullback.
                                      
                                      The Blues are expected to, therefore, name a largely unchanged side for the Highlanders, with No 8 Hoskins Sotutu also absent from their field session as he continues to recover from his knee injury that kept him sidelined for the past two matches. Hooker James Parsons also remains unavailable with ongoing concussion symptoms.
