@akan004 I just had a look at the TAB odds and the Crusaders are paying $1.05, while the Rebs are paying $8.50!!!
Wow, those odds are crazy. If you are into betting, it wouldn't be a bad bet to place a few bucks on the Rebels.

@booboo I think the Crusaders are fairly understrength for this one - you could make a strong case that only five of the best starting fifteen are starting - and three of those guys are out of position.
I think we'll win, but I'm not $1.05 confident with the team selected.

Rebels are kak. If you don't get the bonus point win it is a disaster.

A disaster that will be laid at the feet of the selectors.
Actually, in terms of the overall number one seeding, I think bonus points are now irrelevant to the Crusaders. If we win our last three games the Lions can't get past us, because the first tie-breaker is number of games won. If we don't win our last three games, we're going to need a surprising and big favour from one of the other SA teams.
However, in terms of winning the NZ conference, if we drop one game somewhere then that bonus point could be crucial.
Drop two games and we're back to Toddyland!

Every single fan is being metal detected upon entry to the game.
Sad Stuff.

Havili tearing it up at fullback against the Rebels who look utterly unorganised in defence.

Watching live, he and Mo'unga look a lot quicker than on the tele.

You'd think that these Rebel players would be playing hard for contracts, instead of treating this like a non-contact training session

Agreed. Also watching live, the Rebels are as shit as they are on tv.

@Stockcar86 If they have a defensive coach, he'd want to have secured employment elsewhere very soon.
