    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.

          @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 think Chiefs will win it. Crusaders won't be able to bring the same intensity as last week.

                    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.

                                Particularly if it’s just Bell. That’s already been mentioned in the media

                                  I am talking about Bell and Whitelock.
                                  Just to add I understand there are some players bracketed until tomorrows press release, touch and go for a couple of players.

                                          So far the poll is at:
                                          58% Chiefs
                                          42% Crusaders

                                          TAB has it even

                                          If they follow the usual schedule teams should be named in 15mins
