R20: NZ v Cairns
1 v 2 !
Normally this would be the MOTR and have everyone fired up. Today, on the eve of finals, I expect this will be played like a game a chess. Both teams won't want to lose and both teams won't want a high risk game that could either result in injuries or show their new plays to the other.
Let's face it, both teams have been the form teams over the season and deserve their spot. Cairns have clicked and are working really well on the court. Sean Bruce probably the most improved on the team, although there's a heap of Snakes playing out of their skins. You can't hold a Kiwi team down when it comes to beating Aussies and the Breakers have not only jumped back into the top4 this season, but demanded a Top 2 spot.
Like many, I'm still trying to work out why Vukona comes up VUKONA, but maybe someone yelled it to the official on game 1, he typed it into the Breaker's Commodore 64 and it stuck. They're very difficult computers to re-programme and change.
Both teams have won away and Cairns are 2:1 heading into this game +25 on the split.
I expect this will be a pretty high scoring game, but at the end of the day the BREAKERS will shout out a win
