When I went to the RWC 11 final it was so tight I couldn't enjoy it. Hopefully we are ahead in the final 15 or 20 by enough to be able to bask in a win. But if it has to be tight to the end, as long as we win so be it

<p>I remember like it was yesterday the brave and heroic Lions travelling down to Canterbury and taking out the NPC final against all odds. I've been clinging on to that memory for a long time now...</p> -

That was a superb game , Norm playing with a broken arm , Jonah swatting off Vunibaka twice to score a try. <br>
It just occurred to me two of that team are dead already . -

25 ABs started in that final. We will never see that sort of thing again -

<p>I reckon it had something to do with the coach of that Lions team ... I think his name might be Rennie. </p> -
The Hurricanes have already achieved far more this season than I expected and I am massively proud of the squad, but losing a final where they are firm favourites would be a massive choke. I have loved the way the Lions have played in recent weeks and have a sneaky suspicion they might pull off an upset. Or perhaps Julian Savea will gain redemption by scoring the winning try. It's going to be a long week and a longer 80 minutes.

It had more to do with the mid season revolt from the team and letting them play their natural game rather than what Mourie and Rennie wanted. -
