Blues v Crusaders
-
All set up for a blues ambush , I think we know what they will bring , the crusader side of the equation will be interesting ,
Only a small thing , but razor avoiding his celebration dance , was probably a small psychological message to his players , the season isnt quite over yet., yes enjoy the win , but we keep a lid on it, we still have more business to do.

@nzzp Just following the theme after yours and Pakman's posts
Winning the championship on BP isn't the same as not being favourites.
If the Blues and Crusaders hadn't already played each other this year I'd be inclined to agree with Pakman's point about winning a title on bonus points. But the two teams did play this year when the competition was still alive and the Blues weren't good enough.
Also, don't forget if the Blues score more tries and lose it will still be a moral victory. So you've got two shots at a moral victory this weekend.
good early spice. come on Blues fans, get in the game.

We are the mature, responsible ones and won't indulge in these petty games.
We don't even know who the biased one eyed ref will be yet and apparently the Crusaders are going to play a "B" team so that they have excuses, sorry reasons, for a loss. We have an ex Crusader as a coach - make of that what you will too. I'm expecting him to pick Ruru at halfback and Colin Farrell at fullback.

I do think Blues need to win this one just to get over the hump of the Crusaders having not beat them at all for 5 or so years.
They've learnt to beat the other NZ teams (home and away) - now they need to beat the Crusaders.
They've come close under Leon.
Even though it's not a final - it's still a cool way to finish the comp - Blues v Crusaders - packed out crowd - Sunday afternoon - bring it on.

This is a bit like the RWC, Canes beat the Saders (ABs best the Boks) so ipso facto, lorem ipsum, por favor Canes (ABs) are actual champs.
@Machpants ...so if we can beat the canes this week...we're the champs?...i'm in, the comp is still alive!

@nzzp damn your logic!

Doesn't matter the Trophy is in Christchurch it doesn't really mean much to me as a crusaders fan it feels like the SR season is over.
Blues win good on them but the name on the trophy remains the same for the 11th title and 4 in a row.
So get your teeth into this post as I am sure some will love a bite.:fearful_face:

You're only as good as your last game and the Hurricanes have beaten, well, everyone in their last game. Moral Champions of SRA.

Eden Park is sold out.
Hopefully they decide to add temporary seating. The seats in front of the main stands they use for Test matches can't take that long to set up

@KiwiMurph really? whats the standard capacity now days?
