The Reds and Crusaders go at it in Brisbane. This will be the match of Daniel vs. Quade. Both fly-halves have been impressive throughout these last few years and both have contributed to the competition and Test rugby in a special way. The Reds need to win to secure their conference, the Crusaders need the win to pass the Blues and take the lead in theirs. Both teams managed to beat the Stormers in Cape Town, so we know they can perform under pressure.
Last year, the Crusaders made the play offs, only having a couple of points more than the Reds, who ended 5th. This year both seem the clinch a play off spot easily (also due to the fact that there are 6 spots, but still). Last year, the Reds won 41-20 in Brisbane when the Crusaders came to visit. Can they do it again? Or will the Crusaders repeat the famous victory of 2006, when they were victorious with a 21-47 win?
