        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

                    Bell v Thomspon in the 2nd half. Two possible future ABs against each other.

                      Has George Bell played at all this season? Was a powerhouse for the Under 20s last season and when he got on particularly against the Force in Perth last year.

                                It’s a very settled side, starting and bench despite the injuries. Although who’s the new kid at #5? Hope he goes alright.

                                    Really looking forward to game, really pretty neutral, maybe leaning towards Chiefs, but not overly. Wife is away, have house to myself so no interuptions Yehaa.

                                    Was interested talking to a couple of fellas at golf yesterday, they not as overtop as most of us on game etc, but both said they were staying at home to watch, couldn't handle watching it at pub as usual. need not too many around. Love when the buzz gets like this!

                                      Chiefs opened at $1.60 & Crusaders $2.30. There's been an avalanche of cash on the Crusaders which has led to them now being $1.92 each, as you note (draw at $16).

                                        Does that only mean "normal" time then? The result can't be a draw!
