Match of Round 8.
Canes (ranked equal first â€" due to the Crusaders having a game up their sleeve) take on the Crusaders (currently 3rd on the ladder) in Wellington.
Should be a game well worth watching.
 
SOLD OUT

********, was going to go to the game and they told me it was sold out on thursday

me annoyed?

well YES
 
Hahahahaha.....kill those canes!!!!!

Remember last year in the final round robin........40-20 Crusaders.......then the next week in the semi the Crusaders made sure they did a better job.......47-7.
 
Yep GG ,Crusaders will expose the Canes as finalist pretenders,just like last year

Me think's this won't be a one sided game... not at all
Me thinks you think correctly.....

In fact......anything could happen here for this game......

I just want the Canes to lose cos lots of people support them simply because they are brown.........and give the Crusaders crap cos they represent white NZ......but the Crusaders are the team that put RESPECT into NZ provincial rugby....irrespective if they look like farm boys with no sense of style.
 
SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!!
sorry.. but i'm just nervous....
Crusaders MUST win....
canes will get whipped!!!

Very impressed with that GG, lot of Kiwi's miss the point on just how good the white boys are... yin and yang brother, yin and yang.
Normally the rights to the BIG games in NZ come down to the Auckland and Canterbury, full honours to the Canes for taking that mantle away from the Blues... the southern farm boys though... they have always been there (and full credit to them).
 
Looking forward to seeing who's playing on the day... there's some really good match ups...
 
Well, last season Crusaders beat Canes in the final week of the regular season securing a home semis vs...Hurricanes, another smashing ! Pay back time? Perhaps!
 
To early to tell Rassie, history is one thing... who's playing on the day is where it's at for this game.
 
Also got to remember the crusaders are coming off a bye, so it will be a tough game for them. IMO not many teams come off a bye and do well, the crusaders did it last year though, cant remember who they played, but it will be a great game nonetheless, just wish it wasnt bloody sold out :(
 
intresting game this will be
hurricanes look very dangerous outwide..if they are playin on a dry track then this game will be a cracker
the crusaders havent played their best rugby yet...meybe this weekend...
i reckon crusaders will win because of dan carter and richie mccaw

Wahoooo, gonna be a hell of a game
 
Hmm im picking the Canes for this one...both teams are awesome but yeh i just have a feeling the Canes shall win B)

Wonder if Piri will be playing.....to be honest, i dont think he will....i wouldnt risk it.

Im glad Tana is back training...he is muchly cool. I wouldnt put him in the team for another couple of games, just to make sure he is 100% :)

GO THE CANES :bleh!:
