From Kyodo News:
Rugby: Quirk back to lead much changed Sunwolves against CrusadersEd Quirk returns from injury and will lead the Sunwolves against the CrusadersThe Australian-born flanker leads a side that shows eight changes from the team that started last Saturday's win over South Africa's Bulls.Tiatia:
"We ... are very aware of what lies ahead this Friday night against the Crusaders."Tiatia's 23-man squad contains two players set to make their Super Rugby debut, wing Teruya Goto and reserve flanker Yuhimaru Mimura. "I understand one of my roles is to tackle my opponents as many times as possible, and I will be focusing on that," said Mimura ...No kidding!
If you understand what's coming at you on Friday, why select two rookies?Martin Guptill on the blindside flank for some big hits. Good to see.
Nah looks more like a cold ass honky.

Well done Sunwolves destroying Crusaders maul. Hubris for not taking three points this early in the game punished.

@antipodean think they're probably pretty safe with over 80% territory and two thirds possession...

Bro, up early for a Super game in which the Canes aren't even playing?

Best thing about this game so far is the tab 1st try special
-
End of the 1st half - Mataele with a hat-trick, 5 tries in total 29-3.
Read, Mo'unga look on track, nice touches from Goodhue, Funnell has been busy, Romano and Sammy W involved in everything and all industry. Bloody Tamanivalu injured again - HIA I think. Up until then he looked good.
Mataele has been on the end of very good tries - don't know much about him - how good is he? -

@MN5 two things on your continued "up early for rugby" crusade.
A.) 8.30 isn't early.
- I'm not a canes supporter.
I find the second point extremely surprising
I don't mean to alarm you, but it's 2017.

I know the Crusaders have scored 50 points, but they have been reasonably shit for large chunks of this game.
They've been ably assisted by a Sunwolves team whose game plan appears to have been hand over the ball at every opportunity.

@Bones said in Crusaders v Sunwolves:
Blues fans (and Nepia) really get bitter over TJ don't they?
I genuinely do not see why people get their undies in a twist over TJ commentating the Crusaders. If anyone can provide examples of TJ being orgasmic over the Crusaders and overly/unfairly critical of the Blues please do.

@Crazy-Horse ditto, the last few times I've heard he's on I've gone out of my way to try and spot the source of outrage but come up empty. If anything I've thought he's sounded more excited for blues matches.
