It's been a while since this was a top of the table clash

Predictions?

Silly question: who is hosting?

I could look, but lazy.

@booboo

I could answer but I'm lazy

:sigh:

Home team is first in the title

Crusaders dead certainties to win the comp with their bonus points. They only lose if they lose both games to the blues, or split them and drop another. It's not happening, unless 2020 is the year of the apocalypse.

Going to be a cracker, and I'm delighted to be competitive again. We're building and finally have some hope for a better future

12,500 tickets already sold for this one.

You'd have to think it will sell out.

Ahh. The @Stargazer protocol

@booboo

Of course. Otherwise I'd get told off

The teams look pretty evenly matched in most areas, but the Blues have a big edge in the loosies. May be the winning and losing there.

@KiwiMurph Hmmm would be surprised if it did tbh. I bought my ticket a few weeks ago so they've been on sale for a while. I doubt there will be a massive surge in sales with 5 days to go.

Crusaders have been run to the wire by teams who pass up opportunity after opportunity. The blues won't do that.

Blues by ten.

Have you been to the supermarket in 2020?

All points to a Blues win...

I'd love the Blues to win, but not at the cost of the end fo the world. Honeslty, I had to think about it for a bit, but on balance we can wait to next year

Crusaders to win by a single score.

Isn't Beaudy gone next year? The Blues have to do it right now!

It’s the Blues to lose and you should be confident. Although I just spoke to Rangi and forewarned him about any pizza deliveries going to his boys...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,

Trying to claim underdog status with losing 5 games against NZ sides in the last 3 years.

oh, my sides.

@nzzp "we've won 5 games in a row against NZ sides"

Said no blues team, ever.

Until this year.

We’ve got a Blues reject at halfback, a 1st 5 that can’t tackle, a fumbling midfield with the guy wearing 13 on his back that is not a centre. It’s a revolving door on the wings which is disruptive. One of our best backs is 15 years old, and Havili doesn’t know if he’s a 12, 15 or 10, plus he has a jammy knee.

Plus we are missing McCaw, Read, Franks, Carter, Ellis and Flynn.

Ouch

I think that conclusively claims underdog status
