Are you serious, Gerry?
They're going to go down to Wellington and take down the Hurricanes?
The Hurricanes, Jerry.
That'll be a dizzy.
That will be an absolute doozy.
I'll tell you what, as always, we say it all the time on here, those bloody Crusaders, your Crusaders, Benaiah, this time of the year, they just seem to come into a right vein of form and they're doing it again.
The only concern I have for them is their injury toll, especially up front.
They have lost a lot of experience in terms of their front rowers and their type 5s.
So that's going to be an area that the Chiefs will go to.
The Chiefs, I feel, they're peaking at the right time of the year as well.
probably in the last previous years, as they've tripped up when it's come in the last three years on the final hurdle, they seem to have come out of the blocks in the season white-hot and played some of their best rugby in the early rounds of Super Rugby, whereas now I feel like they're coming into a rich vein of form.
The game in the weekend against the Reds, I thought the scoreline kind of flattered the Chiefs in some respects.
That was a really tough game of footy.
They were only down, I think at one stage...
Just before half-time, 17-15, the Reds were down against the Chiefs.
So I did feel that maybe the scoreline didn't probably reflect how tough a game that was.
So that hardened some tough football, the Chiefs side.
The Crusaders are cruising in on the coattails of a couple of good wins, and they're not at home at Takaha.
So that might be their Achilles heel as well, fellas.
Sorry, I missed that.
