Sidhe have leveraged their All Blacks Rugby Challenge engine to simulate this weekend's Super Rugby final. As the real-life Crusaders (go Canterbury!) gear up to face off against the Queensland Reds at Suncorp Stadium this coming Saturday, the world (well, this part of it at least) waits with baited breath to find out the result - can Sidhe's new game predict it accurately?
According to their simulation, the Crusaders complete a hard-fought season by being the first team in any sport to ever win a championship without playing a single game at home, beating out the Reds by 29-20.
They even released some screenshots of the simulation, showing off some truly impressive next-gen sports visuals - check 'em out:
According to their simulation, Maitland scores the first try, with McCaw and Carter picking up additional Crusader tries before Maitland rounds out a star performance by picking up a double late in the game. Carter also kicks 80% for the game, picking up 4/5 kicks at goal.
Will it prove true? Here's hoping - go the Crusaders!

Haha. That's awesome to see an NZ dev. follow in the footsteps of EA's Simulations they do! And I won't know that sim. result as it is going to be quite a close game!
Here's hoping it's right. GO THE CRUSADERS!

Lucky it wasn't a South African team in the final.
Nice! Can't wait for this game. Couldn't have been two more deserving teams in the Super final! Both suffered at Mother Natures hand, and now fighting out the final! ... If this were America they'd be casting for lead actors already! Go the Crusaders!!
Um, yeah... Did we see the WC final yesterday?
YOU TAKE THAT BACK RON! KEEP THE FAITH!
