[QUOTE="unrated, post: 864013, member: 45773"] Let's not fool around. Crusaders are favourites if they play the Sharks this year especially in Christchurch. But four points. 1. Sharks have traveled to Christchurch before and came away with a win after playing most of the game with 14 men and at one stage 13. 2. The B&I lions might have shown a blueprint on how to defend against the Crusaders. Rush defense and that's one Thing we can do . Defend 3. We play better when we are underdogs as explained by @Johnvaneeden 4. The sharks are historically the most successful South African side in Super rugby. We have the best win percentage of any of the SA teams in SR and have reached the most finals. So you can say with confidence we are better in the playoffs than any other SA side. In 2007 we basically won it. Habana robbed us at the last minute and we finished far ahead on the log compared to the second placed finisher. Bulls were actually **** that year. They had to beat the Reds with 80 odd points just to get in the playoffs. Which they did. But the wrong team won in final. [/QUOTE]
