If we want to be the best, we’ve got to beat the best

These were the words of Waikato Chiefs co-captain, Brad Weber adding the Crusaders have been the benchmark for what feels like all of his career.

Not only have the Chiefs been the standout performers in Super Rugby Pacific this year, dropping just one game and taking top-seeding and home advantage through the playoffs.

The 32-year-old has the perfect chance of a fairy-tale finish when he dons the Chiefs jersey one final time on Saturday night, before continuing his career in France.

Weber will have an extra point to prove to the All Blacks selectors with his name not being one of the 36 read out in the Rugby Championship squad on Sunday night – instead included in the All Blacks XV squad.

The Chiefs host the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday.
