The second to last weekend of S14 begins in Wellington this weekend with alot to play for in a number of matches,7 sides are fighting for the fianl 3 places and a number of them play this weeknd and next,so there is everything to play for in the next two weeks,who will come out on top and make the final 4 with the Crusaders?

The Force are gone really from the Finals after looking good all season long to make it as the top Australian side,they have slim hopes of making it but need to win here and get other results to do their way,so i expect a close hard fought game to start off this wekends S14 action in Wellington.

The Hurricanes after losing to the Stormers in SA 3 weeks ago have won their last two against teams they should of beaten anyway in the Cheetahs and Lions,this week they get a sterner test from the up beat Force who have already won twice in NZ this season against the Highlanders and Blues,the Hurricanes have the talent to tbeat the Force and the Force likewise,the real question is who can take advantage of the others mistakes,the Canes and Force have been defending alot better and this game will be tight especially now that the Tournament is comming to an end,the Hurricans should have enough to get past the Force but with it all to play for the Force should be all out this weekend to get a result,the Canes have a great forward pack and a good set of loosies,their backline is also stacked full of talent and should go well here today.

The Force's win over the Cheifs last week was a good one in which the Force never looked like a side who have given up hope,they played well from the outset and deserved their win albeit lucky,they stilll have faint hopes alive and will play to their best abilitys this week to try and stay alive for the last week of this Competition.

Results between these two are split,in two matches the Force won last year by a single point in Perth while the Canes ran away with the game the year before in Wellington 29-5.

With it all to play for for both sides I expect bothn sides to start slowly with neither wanting to make to many mistakes,both these teams have been good at limiting their errors in recent weeks and that is how they should play today also,the Force can hold the Canes and likewise the Canes on the Force,alot to play for here but home ground advantage to swing it for me..Look for the Canes to win by 5...Good Luck.
