Expecting a close game here. Blues are getting their self belief back.
Two exciting back-lines, should be a cracker.

To watch the Barrett Brothers weave their magic……………………….that’s worth the Ticket price on its own. And the Savea Brothers, well that’s the bonus.

Canes by 6.

I picked the Canes for a win here, on SuperBru… but the Blues have come on in leaps and bounds under Tana Umaga… so it could go either way.
