[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 730905, member: 71618"] We have a strong chance of winning this, if we stick to tactics we played vs the Waratahs. Play a good kicking game and challenge their line out, which has not been convincing the past few weeks, I for one am not convinced of Marshall at full back, I think he's been a real weak link for them. The rushing defense worked well against the Waratahs, but the Hurricanes backs are far superior and their passing will be light years better than that of a finished Adam Ashley Coopers. Dealing with their outside backs might prove impossible if we allow them too much quality ball in our half, Fekitoas and Buckmans defense has been on point though, if we can get between their attacking line I think we have a good chance of disrupting things. Any word on NMS and Ardie? We have Dan Pryor returning which is a huge positive and the return of Christie and Wheeler is massive. Anyone would be a fool to write us off in this game. The passion the Highlanders have shown towards the end of the season is incredible. I'm really happy the clearly two best sides meet in a deserved final and a loss to the Hurricanes would not nearly be as hard to swallow as any other franchise given the quality rugby they've played this season and legends they have among their balanced team.
