I tend to tip with my heart each week, which is why I tip the Force and Parramatta Eels each week, often against my better judgement. Therefore, despite this being the toughest game in history to tip I have gone with the Reds by 6. My biggest reservation is fact that I think to win this one, the Reds have to be right at the top of their game, where as the Crusaders often beat quality opposition and still leave points out there. Last week was a perfect example. The Stormers are a great side, and the Cru weren't at their try scoring best but still just worked the Stormers out of the game. Very few sides with that ability before.
It's no slight on the Reds, they are a fantastic side but the Crusaders know how to win these sort of games, it's in their DNA.
All that aside, strap in people for what is going to be a cracker. GO REDS!
