Seems very much a Crusaders A team against the Chiefs and a B team against the Blues - excepting Codie Taylor and Sam Whitelock.

The team v Chiefs maybe the starting 15. with Taylor and Whitelock coming of the bench as the Crusaders may not want to use all their Abs in the first half with mass changes in the last 20 min.

Exciting young loose forward Hoskins Sotutu (minor injury) and tighthead prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi are the only Blues All Blacks sitting out the Cambridge hitout.

I haven’t read this but he’d probably feel less pressure if he stopped doing dumb shit

[taniwharugby]

@crucial TBF the worst of his dumb shit is against Aus, so maybe we just dont select him vs them, that CSY jersey must do somethign to his brain.

Tupaea gets the second try. Crusaders defended like it's the pre-season.

Nah that was just normal Mo’unga

[Tim]

Great work from Grace for that penalty.

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs lineout throwing woes look to continue this year 🤦

[Tim]

Vaai getting around the field.

[Canes4life]

Roe looking very dangerous.

[Machpants]

Looks bloody hot

[Tim]

Gonna be a long season with that quality of lineout throwing!

[Machpants]

Saders back three are awful

[Yeetyaah]

Crusaders love a penalty

[Machpants]

Does the yellow carry across into next half for saders?
