@Jaguares4real I don’t think it will be a blitz in the first 30,finals are normally hard tough scrap for every inch affairs
The Crusaders are in their 3rd in a Row so will be well prepared for the hard slog
Few tries I think and hard fought ones at that

I'd tend to agree
Lions were a very open & loose side who would play from anywhere and everywhere whenever possible
Jagaures will not afford Crusaders any such luxuries They'll kick alot for territory & force mistakes trough linespeed and intensity in defence
Then attack off turnovers & unstructured play through their dangerous outside backs
@Jaguares4real looking at a test match here
The Crusaders will play the same to a certain extent attack up the middle kick for space wether it’s in behind the rush defence or wide to the wingers for space.
And look to move turn over ball quickly into space . Attack the set pieces to assert some pressure.

You might be right I've heard weather conditions could be less than ideal Sat evening come kickoff which would lend to less ball in hand & ball in play overall
That'll suit Jaguares who kick avg of 26 times a games - most in SR
Test Sevu Reece in defence - can be got at if tested
I fancy Jaguares to gain some ascendancy in kicking game Soccer skills come in handy

Looking forward to the WC how much confidence will the Argentine squad get from defeating a AB laden Crusaders in CHCH
Hugh amount so would say may ease some mental doubts come WC time.Fair Dinkum Bloody best team the Crusaders have ever played, ya know!
can't remember where i heard this, but apparently they completely destroyed teh Hurricanes. At the Caketin no less. While the Crusaders could only sneak past them. At home

Bro, I’m not even going to watch. I’ll be too busy gearing up for a big Warriors performance against the Newcastle Knights.

It's terrible today... 6 degrees outside and hosing down.
But latest forecast suggests it will clear before tomorrow night, temperature will still be single figures but hopefully not raining.
Very happy we've sold this one out, when they released ticket prices I was skeptical.

But will the Crusaders make any money?
The Jaguares and SANZAAR are both paid a fee, and I've read previously that it's better to be playing away in a final (from an economic perspective) if your ground capacity is low.

I know Saders have to chip in £125,000 to Jaguares
don't know if it that's £, NZ$
Didn't know they had pony up to SANZAAR as well
If that's true

Aah the old southerly front with the ice cold clear air in behind. Kind of miss that weather.
But chilly here at the moment: 20 degs

@booboo fuk I don’t
I can be nostalgic about winter. Haven't had one for 12 years ...
haha RS cracks me up with some interesting POV from callers...
Fed up with the Crusaders winning all the time, be good for rugby if the Jaguares win etc...but I am looking forward to watching the ABs play and win...

I thought @Jaguares4real was saying that the Pumas (a.k.a. Jaguares) won't be at full strength either.
The Chiefs won in BA so surely the ABs can. 
Between Mr Touchline kicks are easy and Mr Lots a caps and emojis it's difficult to decide who to go for in this game.
Probably have to be the Saders. Will always support a NZ team over a touring national team.

I am now. Couldn't have given a stiff s until very recently.
@Rancid-Schnitzel Good more the merrier we have a WC to win soon
Holy shit seeing all the non cantabs supporting the Crusaders this weekend is crazy. I would have thought they've become one of those teams that wins too much so you support any team against them. I'm supporting the Jaguares tomorrow night and I really want them to win. But I know deep down that the Crusaders are most likely going to be too good.

A foreign team over a kiwi one? Hell no.
@Donsteppa Get back to me after the jokers who run the NZRU orchestrate losses to Italy and Japan.

I understand it's convenient to now mention JaGuArEs ArE a TeST sIdE now they've starting winning
Crusaders only have 15 All Blacks in their match day 23 when everyone is healthy plus two soon to be capped ABs in Ennor + Reece
Maybe the Jaguares are playing All Blacks dressed in red......
Good luck to the Crusaders....
Not that you will need it, you've been the best team in Super Rugby these last three years by a country mile.

Not by a country mile this year. Too many losses, and a rather too tight semi-final to claim that.

I;d though local rivalries would supersede everything else in Super Rugby and Club rugby
Pretty much why our international team is so strong, we are country first then club. Some exceptions, but that’s generally true (looking at you Hooroo)
@Kirwan hell if @Nepia can support the crusaders, anyone can. He's like the anti @Stargazer

The funny thing about that , if there is a group of supporters least likely to support other Nz teams , it probably is the crusader supporters , north island teams anyway

Not for me.
I support any NZ team over an overseas team.

This. Country miles before club, esp since club is a franchise that keeps changing it's borders. As a Canes supporter I wasn't unhappy that we lost the semi, as an NZ team is more likely to win if is Saders at home, rather than Canes away, for the final.
