Chiefs v Crusaders
-
@Stargazer It's all good mate you were wrong, @Yeetyaah was right. We're all wrong from time to time.
-
@African-Monkey Actually, I wasn't wrong at all. For the third time, the Chiefs may have told Reece he was surplus to requirements before he signed with Connacht and blacklisted him after the assault (after Connacht ripped up his contract, or not). One doesn't contradict the other.

@Bovidae said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
Parker is a very promising player and would have been at short odds to be the NZ U20 no.8 this year. He's a big unit for a loosie too.
Welcome back Shaun.
A player to compare him to in style please? That way we can have super high expectations.....

23 Leicester Fainga'anuku*denotes 150th game for the Crusaders
Crusaders stalwart Sam Whitelock is set to become the seventh player to bring up his 150th game for the club, when he takes the field in Hamilton on Saturday night. Head Coach Scott Robertson has named his side for the Round 8 match against the Chiefs, and Whitelock, now in his 11th Super Rugby season, has also been named Vice-Captain for his milestone match. There are two changes in the forwards this week, with George Bower joining the starting side, and Isileli Tu'ungafasi providing cover at loosehead prop on the bench. Joe Moody will not travel to Hamilton with the side due to a family bereavement. Flanker Sione Havili joins the starting side in the number six jersey, with Tom Sanders shifting to Number 8 in place of Whetukamokamo Douglas, who is recovering from a medial ligament injury. There is just one further change in the backline this week, with Mitchell Drummond earning a start, and Bryn Hall named on the bench. Fetuli Paea will once again line up in the midfield alongside Jack Goodhue, with Braydon Ennor still recovering from the toe injury he sustained in the Blues game.http://www.crusaders.co.nz/news/1457-crusaders-team-named-to-play-the-chiefs-in-hamilton

I was kinda hoping they would roll out a micky mouse side for us.
