Answer 6

Crusaders will be too clinical, they know how to win matches...hence their unbeaten record so far. however the chiefs are hitting form and could provide an upset.

Key Matchups: Casey Laulala vs Richard Kahui..possible All black centres.

Stephen Brett vs Stephen Donald

Andy Ellis vs Brendon Leonard

Loose forward matchup - who can win turnover ball and who can slow the oppositions ball down the best.

front rows - neither front row's are great, so will be interesting to see which one can get the upper hand.

im picking crusaders 12 and under.

Crusaders were just lethargic IMO
