Game of the round as a neutral. As a Reds fan it was the one i was hoping the Brumbies would lose to give up the top spot. After both games last round i cannot see that happening. The Crusaders will need to be significantly better. Brumbies have a level of the polish the Rebels can only dream of so the opportunites and mistakes that kept the Crusaders alive last week shouldn't be available.

Yeah, I am tipping the Brumbies, and even if Read is back (which I don't think he will be) he will lack match fitness.
The Crusaders are capable of pulling a big game out (beating the Stormers in SA this year)
So perhaps it will be close???

The Whitelocks and their Friends have been uncharacteristically quiet this year. While they are typically slow starters to the competition, the slow start excuse disappears around round 4.

They are overdue for some form, similar to that of the Stormers game, but mabe the Crusaders mojo has simply gone north to Auckland.

The Ponies should take this comfortably by between 15 and 25 points depending on the final team lists.

I cant remember a time when I felt so confident of a Brumbies win over the Crusaders. I just cant see them losing, even if the Saders turn in a strong performance.

Should be a good crowd - a Sunday afternoon game and Canberra has been experiencing an extended Indian Summer, plus George Smith becomes the Brumby with the most Super Rugby caps (passing George Gregan). The school and uni holidays are over so the UC students should be back to their colourful and boisterous best.

I think everyone is underestimating the quality of the Crusaders side. Did they not just overcome a rebels side littered with players from the GAGR team of the week? The Brumbies are looking at a huge banana peel.

They are a big game side and can pounce at any time. This game is just mouth watering for a rugby fan in general. Both sides very clinical in how they play.

Sorry Brumbies fans but as I Reds fan I have to think of our best interest first and back the Saders. Nothing personal in it.

After what I saw from the round just gone I'd have to say "heart - Saders, head - Brumbies". Saders will have to put in their best performance yet this year to get the win this week.

It should be a cracker of a game.

It's been a long time since Australian sides have enjoyed so much success against our cousins across the ditch. I am hoping the Brumbies can keep it going. I'll just have to hope they drop a game or two against other Australian sides or that we can pick up more bonus points or something.

That team looks the goods to take the biscuits. But I hope they do not underestimate the Crusaders. The Cru are still very good at making teams pay for their mistakes.

I don't think the Brums underestimate anyone any more after the debacle against the Kings.

This is the difference between a Reds fan and most other Aussie fans.I cheer for any Aussie team playing against Kiwis or Saffas,even the Reds!

Phil. The only reason he is going for the Crusaders is because of the Brumbies lose and we win we will move to number one. Don't say you wouldn't do the same because that's bullshit
