I would pick Saracens to win comfortably enough vs the Crusaders on English soil, probably the reverse in Chch. But if you felt the Sharks forwards went well enough in Chch, Saracens is a step up.
Yeah - though to be fair adding Owen Franks and Sam Whitelock to the Crusaders'starting pack vs the Sharks is also a step up.
Not to mention adding Mo'unga, Crotty and Havili to the backs - and some adjustments to the bench.

I though the final was a cracking advert for weight grade rugby.
The forwards were just colossal. I don’t think it’s sustainable.
It has become a different game from even a few years ago.

Captain Kaino lifts his first domestic trophy, poor bastard after 15 (? I think) years with the blues! But good on him, a great generational player, we still miss him!
"Toulouse celebrated a record 20th title - seven years after their first triumph." Editorial brilliance, 20 titles in 7 years....

Just a word on Pita Ahki. He was signed as a journeyman to be 5th choice to play 12-13 (in fact we didn't know why he was signed) and after several injuries he got his chance and he's been stunning. He's probably the biggest surprise in this french rugby season, a great value for money.

So once/if BREXIT goes ahead, things will get messy. Those Kolpak posters with contacts beyond 2020 will mostly have to be played out, there will be a glut in the market of Pro rugby players, effecting values. UK clubs will be scrambling for championship players to sign up. All good news for some SH teams, less jobs for SA rugby players
RFU just days away from issuing edict on player eligibilty and Brexit
A no-deal Brexit could bring plenty of negative consequences for English rugby, although Premiership clubs have received welcome news on player eligibility.
