I remember after the Crusaders lost to the Drua in Fiji saying something like "there is something clearly wrong, but they'll still no doubt make the final, if not win it", and so it has come to pass.

It's a bit like Leinster and the now URC, but setup to be even more to their favour.

"Do you want some?"

For context, they are both All Black hookers, this is a meaningless contest as far as the standings are concerned but there's no such thing as a friendly in Rugby because you could end up badly hurt if you don't put in 100%.
