The Canterbury Crusaders have been looking strong all season, but we don’t think they are going to be able to take down the Otago Volts in their match next Saturday. The Auckland-based team has won four of their six games so far this season and will be coming into this game with a lot of momentum. The Crusaders have a much stronger defense than the Volts, but they haven’t been able to put points up as often as Otago. We’re predicting that it’s going to be a close match, but we’re confident in giving it to the Volts.
