Dons v N Wales Sunday 24th September 2023: Play-off final : Sun Sep 17, 2023 4:26 pm  

What's the handicap line? I reckon the bookies will give them 12 points start.

I'm predicting a Dons win by 20.

It'd be quite a turn up if a team that finished 6th in a 10 team league got promoted, especially as N Wales only won 7 of their 18 games! Surely, next Sunday will be a step too far for them?

Anything can happen...but if we focus...we win.

I've a sneaky feeling it will be closer to 16pts, flying back from sunny beach on thursday so hopefully it will round off a decent week COYD

Logically, the run of away do or die games should have taken something out of the Crusaders. That said, being the underdogs in recent weeks seems to have suited them.

I can only see a Dons victory, probably after Crusaders have made a game of it in the first half.

I hope you're right with the handicap, I can see it being 14 or 16 and even then I'd be tempted to be with the Dons.

Skybet ...

Dons -8 10/11
Crusaders +8 10/11
Handicap Draw 20/1

A Dons win is 2/5 (Bet365 4/11).

Faraimo has been named in the provisional squad, appears to be in place of Misi (although of course have the issue with the last player on the list dropping off the bottom still)

Crikey, this seems like an absolute howler by the layers. What are they thinking of?
