<p>Cheer up crusaders fans. You're getting Romano and Crockett starting ahead often two other guys and you're splitting hairs? I think you'll survive the forward battle.<br>

<p>I think we have to dominate the forward battle convincingly, because we're going to get beaten by their backs. For me, that entails running out our strongest pack at the start - so I'd be going with Moody over Wyatt - happy enough with Romano (I'd be starting Crotty).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like Sammy, I'm very much looking forward to this game, which is huge in terms of the NZ conference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crusaders win and it's pretty much a two-way dogfight vs the Chiefs, with the other teams probably too far behind to make up the gap with just five games left - and us with some decent breathing space at the front and genuine favourites to win the conference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Highlanders win and suddenly a blanket is covering the field and we'll be looking more like pretenders.    </p>

<p>Tipping is difficult this week. I have not the vaguest clue who's going to win this game. Will be a narrow margin, I guess, but in who's favour?  :think:</p>

[Siam]

<p>Anyone know why they don't open that seating area behind the goalposts at one end?</p>

[gt12]

3-0 after a few minutes.

[gt12]

Another penalty against the Saders. Some talk out there too.

[Mattasaurus]

Just home in time. Go the landers.<br><br><br>
Think limas boot could be the difference. ...well hoping so

[gt12]

Crazy ball movement! It's all over the place.<br><br>
Crusaders hard on attack now

[gt12]

Landers penalized. More pushing & shoving.

[ACT Crusader]

<br>
Because there's no seating there

[gt12]

3-3 after 8.

[ACT Crusader]

We look sharp in attack early on.

[gt12]

Crusaders using the inside ball really well to make metres

[ACT Crusader]

What a run by Wyatt. I thought it was Codie

[gt12]

Another penalty. Crusaders looking ominous..

[gt12]

3-6 after 13.<br><br>
Landers better be careful with offsides in the red zone

[gt12]

Sopoaga with a shocker.

[ACT Crusader]

Owen Franks pin your ears back bro. <br><br>
Reado in

[No Quarter]

Franks and Crockett both have line breaks, lol.<br><br>
Great finish from Reado.

[Mattasaurus]

Landers being owned at the moment

[No Quarter]

Spoke too soon!!
