Blues v Crusaders

@Crucial that diving effort from Marshall

Caucau was something special, while I think it was best he played for Fiji, you do wonder what could have been if he had ended up playing for the ABs instead of his sporadic and troubled career with Fiji.

Hooroo

@Tim wow no Akira!

Still fat! Needs to go to Jenny Craig

You have to wonder what sort of mental state he is in? He is in his prime and could arguably one of the our best players earning top top dollar but instead he is fat and can't even make the Blues team. That is pretty sad.

I hope there is a better back story to this

Was Akira available?

JK

Yes - believe he was available

Duluth

Cullen Grace, Tom Christie, Tom Sanders

When was the last time the Crusaders backrow was this inexperienced? Sanders has a few SR caps but a lot are from the bench

Stargazer

@Duluth Yep. Grace is 20 and Christie 21 years old. Puppies.

Three experienced loosies in the injury ward (and a lock, which explains why they can't move Barrett to 6).

Toddy

Any Blues supporters picked up their diversity flag yet?

Almost hard to believe. Super dumb.

Machpants

Not that hard, the ABs have some unbelievably dumb penalties last year, carrying on with that

Blues maul defence much improved this year.
