Final: Chiefs v Crusaders
-
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.

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. -
