SF Crusaders v Blues

@Landers92 said in SF Crusaders v Blues:

The loss of Tamaiti Williams is absolutely massive. With the style of play by these 2 teams and with the weather that is forecasted it will just highlight it even more. A big night for Bower coming up.

Unfortunately it flows through the prop rotation.

Tamaiti > Bower
Bower > KSM
KSM > Calder (apparently)

Scrum could have been a significant advantage for us - now we'll break even at best, I think.

If we get an injury to either of the starting props we'll likely be in a deal of trouble.

Heard some rumours Havili might be out.

If true I presume that would mean McLeod to 12?

Yes I've heard that as well. They could opt for O'Connor at 12?

Sneaky move, ensuring AB selection for both him and McLeod.

<looks at foreground> so that's why Hos didn't get into the ABs last year!

[Chris B.]

@KiwiMurph I certainly hope not!

Any idea on the source/reason for the rumour?

Dave was on TV last night talking about about school player ages, so evidently doing media duties.

[Chris B.]

Fingers crossed Dave is on both the bus and the TV teamsheet, so let's hope for no late withdrawals.

On form will be good as well!

Man - I've had enough of this overconfident pre-game trash talk!

Genuine question - I had the pregame on mute.

Looks poorly attended.

[Chris B.]

@nzzp I'm talking about the Fern. No-one's said anything.

What surprised me is that according to what Sky put up - Blues and Crusaders have only met four times in play-off footy.

Disappointing crowd again
I reckon if the Warriors where playing it would be a full house

I've already remarked how interesting it's going to be seeing how Reihana handles playing behind a pack in reverse.

Typical Aussie game kicking off late.

Bodes well for the new stadium..... short of the ABs , Warriors or a Super final .. I would have thought this semi would have sold out.... very disappointing.

[antipodean]

That's a fucking harsh penalty - he'd left the ball alone and moved away after the Crusaders had won the ruck.

Tom Christie for the crusaders and Finlay Christay for the blues.

Love you Nisbo
