[b]Thoughts...[/b] Look for a BIG battle in the tight five... Woodcock, Kevi and Fat Albert v's White, Oliver and Hayman PLUS Ali v's Ginga Ryan. Should be a good match up. I think the Highlanders actually have it over the Blues in the Loose forwards and the half's. But that's where it ends... the Blues backline, if they get the ball from Lavea who should give up completely on his kicking game (oh that's right he doesn’t have one) is a class act. If conditions are dry I'm thinking that the Blues will win easy by at least 15. [/QUOTE]
