The 2 best teams in the comp going at it next week. All you can want as a neutral. Going to be a belter. Hopefully the tin is actually full next weekend

hopefully they will let the cowbell in

@canefan Which is why the canes will win it next week. Everything has clicked for them this season. Which is good for the competition, rather than seeing the same team win it every year.

I feel nervous, the Chiefs have our number and are in form too

I am thinking about throwing a sickie next week so I can watch the final live. I haven't been this excited about a final in a long time.

Anyone else glad it’s not the Crusaders in the final for a change?

@canefan I'm pretty sure the canes are due for a win. They've learned from the past two seasons to not choke. That match during the regular season against the crusaders doesn't mean much when it was the canes b team.

I feel Canes are too loose for finals rugby. If I was a betting man and went with gut feeling, I think I would put money on the Chiefs. Round robin play, Canes every time, but .....

@mikey07 Absolutely. They got exposed as frauds last night.

I thought the blues put up a top fight till 55, lost too many top players in the first half to be in with a chance really.
This final should be good, few wounded in both teams though. Wellys the place to be next Saturday!!

The Chiefs are effective at slowing us down. We will have to be far better than tonight

Oudenyran puts his hand up for the apprenticeship.

Yep a great call.

Congratulations to the Canes
Watching the Blues in the last month or so is like death by a thousand cuts
The only upside is players not involved the Blues wider squad will be finally released to play club footy
This aspect of the Blues organisation of not rēleasing players for club has been a disgrace much of it driven by a head coach void of ideas but wanting every player at his dispisal

No

@BorderJB It was better game from them compared to matches during the regular season. They just need to replicate the 1st half performance for the 2nd half.

Sotutu has fallen off a cliff, hasn't he? I wonder what the back story is to that.

@Steven-Harris it was around the other teams as well, due to the new development comp.

@Old-Samurai-Jack Probably annoyed at razor over not getting selected in 2024 after having a great season. Some people have mentioned that he wanted to leave the Blues earlier to go play in Europe.
