        Hard to get up two weeks in a row. Going to be a tight one (but then I thought that of the Blues game too)... so really, who the hell knows

          Will be a very interesting battle of the coaches.

          Bay v. Bay
          Tough as nails Whakarewarewa v. the Surfie from the Mount
          Former cop v. late 40's breakdancer
          Number 8 v. Openside

          Both busy aiming to outwit each other this week.

                It would be a pretty cool record for Robertson if the Saders were to win. 7 out of 7 as coach. Can't have happened too often in professional sport.

                  The Chiefs are unbeaten all season. They should win this easily.
                  But you know Razor and Scott Hanson have planned for this for the last few months. Obviously I want the crusaders to win as I want Razors legacy to be 7-7. But I generally think the chiefs will win.
                  But I thought the Blues would win too 😉😉

                      Crusaders in a canter. They just have a knack of coming good this time of year.

                      Blues were poor last week, but mainly Crusaders were good.

                        I think the Chiefs should win, but I do acknowledge the Crusaders do finals like no other NZ team. Canterbury used their ambush tactic last week though, Chiefs know what is coming.

                        Plus the Crusaders will have to listen to those feral mooloo cowbells, seriously should have been banned by Geneva convention.

                          I want the Chiefs to win. I think that would be extremely good for the competition. I also think it would be nice to have Razor enter next year with some fire in his belly.

                              This is the best final for a while on paper.

                              Chiefs are much stronger than 2022 Blues (look at coaching, tight 5, number 10, leadership).

                              Really hard to tip either way - which is how you want it.

                              Hopefully it's a cracker and not a blowout.

                              Would much rather Razor experience and learn from a playoff loss now than when in charge of ABs.

                                I really want the Chiefs to win because if they don’t the whinging about the ref and blaming others will be unbearable….

                                  If it's Berry, the chiefs at least have a chance.

                                        Went Chiefs...

                                        ... partially with the heart ...

                                        ... but partially on the back of a member of Peter Thorburn's Flat Earth Society on ZB on Saturday who observed that the Chiefs can handle the NZ teams, but struggle against the Aussie teams/style.

                                        Seemed a reasonable theory.

                                        Having said that ... wouldn't be surprised if the Saders Sade it easy, because Saders.

                                        But have made my call. Chiefs by the squeak of their bum.

                                          Rain forecast so I'm picking a test match type intensity grindfest.

                                          A low scoring affair but I'm picking the Chiefs forwards and kicking game will just edge the Crusaders.

                                          This will age well when both teams put on a blazing display of open field rugby with 80+ points being scored.
