That's a shame for Christie, but that Crusaders team looks very good. This should be a cracking game.
Crusaders tight 5 and Richie Mo'unga give them the edge as usual. Should be a cracking game, but crusaders by 5. Bless clear underdogs

Yeah, 4 ABs in the front five with one squaddie coming off the bench does give them an advantage. However, the prop rotation and loosies for the Blues are also very good, so it should be a real ding dong battle.
I'm also starting to really like the way that Otere Black is playing, he's probably No. 2 right now behind Richie.
Crusaders by less than 7 seems about right but I will be cheering along my new second team. I'm hoping that Paps is healthy, but even without him the Blues may have the edge in the loosies.

Heem is a weird one.

@stargazer Only joined the squad two weeks ago, probably a bit slow at his age. Was never a high skill level player.

Clear advantage to Crusaders especially in the tight five. I think Laulala is one of the few tightheads in NZ that can handle Moody in the scrums though.
