Super12 2002 - Final

And then there were two...

Crusaders v Brumbies @ Christchurch

The Crusaders have been consistently the best side in the competition this season. They have already beaten the Brumbies this year at home, they are basically injury-free, they have all the confidence in the world, and there's only one thing standing between them and the title which undoubtedly they consider to be rightfully theirs - the Brumbies, who will need to lift their game appreciably to have any chance. Can they do it? Sure they can. Will they do it? At Canberra Stadium, possibly, but the Crusaders at Jade will prove one bridge too far.

Crusaders by 5.
