No one's made a thread yet, so I went ahead and created one.
Both teams have had a mixed season and lost the last round, but I would say the Crusaders would take this one. They have more to play for - the Waratahs are basically out of playoff contention. You'd never know though.
Sadly, I'll be busy tonight and won't be able to watch this until tomorrow, but it should be a good one if the weather holds.

Watching now, I hope its a cracker!

Great try by tahs really good build up, composed and excited well.

 

[cyclone101]

Yeah, they are keeping the possession from the saders and it is what they need to do to win. Good try

 

[cyclone101]

Wow! Now that was impressive!

 

[lynam1104]

Poor defense on Bethem there but that was some try!

Jesus Crusaders got lucky.

They played like crap most of that game and just showed when players came on - that they really need some more x-factor. Every player bar Carter in the backline looked pretty average.

 

[smartcooky]

We burgled it!

Boy, that was very. very ugly.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Not only do the 'Saders know how to win ugly, when they shouldn't they get lucky.

Pretty sure the Saders have no more skin left on their teeth.
