Legendary New Zealand commentator Tony Johnson joins Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to contemplate the clash of styles, the different journeys, and the mouthwatering contest that awaits the Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final, where the Crusaders host the Chiefs in Christchurch.

The Chiefs will be determined to kick the perennial ‘bridesmaid’ tag in their third straight decider, while the Crusaders will not want to be the team that undoes their incredible 31-game unbeaten streak in finals matches played in the Garden City.

Plus, it’s also the Demi-Finales of the Top 14 in France, and it’s the Conference Finals weekend in Major League Rugby in the States.

Games of the Week: 
Super Rugby Pacific Final: Crusaders v Chiefs, Christchurch
Top 14 Demi-Finales: 
•	Toulouse v Bayonne, Toulouse
•	Bordeaux v Toulon, Bordeaux
MLR Conference Finals
•	EAST: New England v Chicago, Quincy MA
•	WEST: Utah v Houston, Salt Lake City
