Geez, you guys are just getting a teenie bit carried away. Everyone take a deep breath and grab some perspective. I guess that's easy to say as a Tahs fan. My day is done.... My prediction is Saders by 8, not that it is my preferred outcome but I think the old adage of you have to lose one before you win one will hold true. Ewen may beg to differ on that score. I didn't see the Stormers match but from all accounts the Saders just played smart, no mistakes pressure football. Like the world cup Reds/Wobblies will be full of fancy footwork and audacious play, Saders/NZ will be just absolutely relentless and ruthless. At the end of the day both S15 final and a potential RWC game will be a meeting between contrasting mindsets both of which have ample to recommend them. I'll just be happy to be a somewhat neutral spectator this weekend. Though I can't claim to be one in RWC2011 if it ends up an OZ/NZ final. But my what games they both will be. Some of you should just ease back a little on the vitriol. Then again maybe we can get a virtual bar happening on the Roar where the disinterested spectators (read all the rest of us whose teams didn't make the final) watch on as the die hard Reds and Saders fans duke it out in replay slo' mos'.

Why I think the Crusaders will win

"You could argue" does not equate to "I believe". Sometimes I think it could be argued that Deans is a troll in disguise.... but I couldn't possibly say that, it's just what a friend of mine said and I found it hard to disagree.

Super finals to benefit Wallabies, says Deans

any chance you are missing the point? The idea is to propose a first and second 15. I doubt that has much to do with what happened last year (particularly against England in Oz). I'd still give that team a better chance than almost any with the exception of the ABs of winning RWC2011.
