super Ragby Simmis.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well buys she beat the Brumbies. Okay tonight, I think
that of the two is the easier one to pick.
No Australian Signs ever come to New Zealand and won
a playoff game. I don't think that'll continue tonight. Rubbis
are okay, pretty good at home, but I think the
Blues will win this one tomorrow. Coin flip for me
at sky Stadium. Hurricanes Chiefs two terrific sides finding a
really nice little slice of form at the back end

of the season. In fact, the Hurricanes have been pretty
good right throughout the whole season. Both previous matches this
season have been won by the Hurricanes one and Wellington
won in Hamilton, home advantage over thirty thousand coming to
sky Stadium. I'm just going to give it to the Hurricanes. Yeah,
but with absolutely no degree of overriding certainty about that.

Speaker 2 (00:47):

to be You're right, that's going to be the match
to watch this week. You know, the Blues matches is

Speaker 1 (00:57):
And so it seems like, well, I mean, I mean,
you want the Brumbies to turn up. You want it
to be a contest, just like tomorrow will be. But
I just don't know. The Blues are a good team.

We didn't think they'd win a couple of weeks ago,
and the week before that, those games against the Panthers
and the Dolphins, they were missing a whole bunch of players.
They got a few of them back last week and
did a really good job on the Cowboys. Storm are

streaks are meant to be broken at some stage, and
if it won't happen tomorrow night, From of a sold

out crowd at Mount Smart with Shawn Johnson back in
the seven Jersey, Tahoo, Harris back to lead the side
and a real optimism around this team. Then I can't
wonder whether it ever will. It was a one to
try in round two that denied them. I don't reckon
they're denied. Tomorrow night, I reckon the Warriors get the
job done and break that streak.
