Re: SRP Round 6: Crusaders vs Chiefs

I do not see the Chiefs running away with anything here. Stevenson will have to have a huge game with their best playmaker in the stands. I expect a lot of shoveling so the Tupaea/ALB pairing must be productive.

Re: Jeremy Guscott v Manu Tuilagi - who was better?

The Bok killing drop goal that secured the Lions tour will forever make Guscott the winner of most any comparison. Much to the chagrin of some of his fellow players who enjoyed busting his balls.
