If you need more help to decide then how about this?
Crusaders fans: Go for the Highlanders since if they win you can say it's the eighth title for the South Island.
Blues fans: Go for the Hurricanes since your new coach is a former great for the franchise and Ma'a Nonu, a player your franchise 'helped develop', is starting for them.
Chiefs fans: Go for the Highlanders because a Hurricanes win will lose your Taranaki fanbase as they jump back to a winning side.
