It's Finals week and the buildup is set to be huge in Mooloo country as Chiefs fans count down to what they hope will be a memorable night - the Chiefs will be keen to match the 2 titles their rivals on Saturday night, the Brumbies have already won.
Here's a look back at the 5 Greatest Super Rugby finals in history
2000 Brumbies 19-20 Crusaders
The Brumbies had all the ball but the Crusaders got the points in a shock upset against a side laden with the heroes of Australia's 1999 Rugby World Cup win.
2004 Brumbies 47-38 Crusaders
The Brumbies exploded right out of the blocks thanks to a horror start for Crusaders fullback, Ben Blair. The Crusaders rallied strongly but Joe Roff settled the deal late on to claim the Brumbies' second ever title.
1998 Auckland Blues 13-20 Canterbury Crusaders
The beginning of a dynasty started with a late, late try to unheralded Crusaders winger, James Kerr, as they ended another fine dynasty and era.
2007 Sharks 19-20 Bulls
The Sharks were set to end their long run as Super Rugby's perennial bridesmaids at home before Bryan Habana scored a late, late try in the first ever all South African Super Rugby final.
2011 Reds 18-13 Crusaders
A Crusaders side who had not played at home all season due to the February Christchurch earthquake were valiant against an inspired Reds side in this epic encounter.
Yeah good post Limmy. I thought you would be your usual biased self, mind you I am glad you didn't mention the 1999 final here.
