I think these guys qualify as superfans...

Part of me wants the Crusaders to win in the hope that maybe finally the brain dead bosses at NZRU will realise Super Rugby is broken with the Crusaders winning yet another title and just maybe they would work with RA to make something better to stop the evil empire winning again.

"The Chiefs have received a big boost for Saturday night’s Super Rugby Pacific final against the Crusaders in Christchurch, with star fullback Shaun Stevenson cleared to play after passing concussion tests."

Cortez Ratima also passed his follow-up HIAs & will be available.

I looking forward to this as a neutral. I genuinely think it easier to enjoy these battles when you don't mind who wins.
I understand some wanting Crusaders to lose because they win so often, but like when the Aucks won everything in the late 80s etc, it just great to see how teams try and get the win against these teams.

For all the talk of "no jeopardy for the Chiefs" in their QF against the Blues, I think they'll absolutely be regretting having let that impact their play at all. It may have taken an extra week for it to be felt, but having to play this game away is a pretty big challenge to now overcome.

I kinda agree, but is there a way they can both lose lol

Not sure Tom, perhaps a real study of the comp rules is needed.

I thought that's what you were doing when you went looking for a way that both teams could lose.

No one can tolerate Doleman so no I can't imagine him getting a girlfriend.

Not surprised Gardner and co got final, Gardner has been reffing here a lot this year, same as kiwi refs doing Aus game. Like it or not I think it's being done because of whinging that refs are biased etc.
