How will the Waratahs go?

[GIGS20]

Heart says anybody but the Saffers, preferably an Aussie team, that means Tahs.

I still think the Tahs and Saders won't last the semis though.

If I had to make a bet I'd put the lot on the Bulls to win it, the home field advantage is worth too much to them, even if that home field IS in Soweto!

nah i reckon saders will take it out

The Saders certainly have the history of raising their game for the finals, but the Bulls and Stormers look too good at the moment for me. All Jarpie final.

Oddly, looking at the previous winners, the Crusaders have always won the year before a World Cup (1998, 2002, 2006). If the Saders don't win this year, will the Kiwis be so confident going into the World Cup? Is it in our best interest for the Saders to win, to raise Kiwi expectations?

Actually, it turns out I'll be in Sydney on the night of the final... so I actually have reason to pull for a miraculous Crusaders/Waratahs double this weekend

and the "Toasts" have it .... (as did the "Who Cares" I guess )
