National 15's rugby coach Ilivasi Tabua believes the Crusaders will head into Saturday's Colonial Cup final against the Knights with an upper hand.

Speaking to Fijivillage Sports, Tabua said that although neither of the two sides have win any Colonial Cup final the Crusaders will start as favourite as they have played in 3 past three finals before.

Tabua knows that Crusaders coach Iliesa Tanivula has alot of experience players in his line-up which will be a slight advantage to his side for the Colonial Cup final.
