So it all boils down to 80min and the top two teams of this years Superugby Tournament. The new format consisted of 124 matches in 141 days, needs a re-look but because of economics I doubt it will be reviewed.
The Reds have had a superb season, hosting their maiden final of the tournament at Suncorp. An improved outfit from last season and the sign of a good team is winning even when you dont deserve to, which was the case for the Reds on numerous occasions this year. Though this team doesnt the names of old Reds legends like Tim Horan, John Eales, Jason Little and David Wilson they are well on there way to becoming just as, if not better than those big names because they a team that work hard together and have moments of brilliance the rugby enthusiasts love seeing on a rugby field. Pivots Will and Quade the main culprits in the later, and will have to be well looked after as the Blues found out just a week ago that if the given space they punish you heavily. A New Zealand born Quade (aged just 23)moved to Australia at the age of 14 and his family ties him to New Zealand as Sean Maitland is his first cousin (bet you new that).
They ll be coming across a fantastic yet determined Crusaders team that have played all, yes every single match this year away from their tragically hit AIM Stadium (formerly Jade Stadium) in Christchurch. Never using that as an excuse and doing the talking on the field. Many feel the best two fly halves in world rugby will decide this contest but unlike the Reds who depend on their half back pairing its difficult to decide who you can focus on in the Crusaders team glittered not just with established All Blacks but the future of New Zealand Rugby. That is what will set the two teams apart, but I expect you will see a real exciting final with one team once again showing why they are the most successful team in Superugby.
