[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 626599, member: 20892"] Whilst this is completely true, how many times have the Crusaders won the competition when they have qualified as number four or lower? The last time the Crusaders won the competition, in 2008, they were at home for all of the finals series, qualifying first. The last time the Crusaders won the competition and [I]didn't[/I] qualify as the top team was in 2000. They can't afford to lose matches early in the season and build into their work, because I don't think they'll be able to win the competition if they qualify outside the top 2. Is simply making the finals again going to be enough this season? [/QUOTE]
