four rounds ago, beat the Blues, had a bye, beat the Chiefs, beat the Canes.

No Bowden Barrett here, so it's on Perafeta as far as the Blues go.

If there's a weakness, and I'm not saying it's a weakness, but a rearranged Canterbury slash Crusaders front row with George Bauer then coming into the tight end, and so they're missing a couple of players there.

Home advantage, full house, a hell of a place to go.

They've never lost a playoff game in Christchurch.

You stack all of that up.

But this is the one game

that I just still feel the Blues have a performance in them.

I don't know.

I've got no basis at all to suggest that, given their recent form.

This will be the biggest match he's ever played on if he runs on the grass.

Yeah, look, I just think it's about...

silencing that crowd and making the crowd nervous.

And if the crowd get nervous, maybe the Crusaders might get nervous as well.

Having said that, I won't be surprised at all if the Crusaders blast this game because of their recent form, recent results.

But I just got to know, I've got an inkling that we've seen upsets every single round.

We've seen results that none of us have expected or predicted every single round.

And I just wonder whether or not this is the game.

And the Blues season turns around.

Yeah.
