Quite the second half for the Crusaders.

[Chris]

Good win,Mounga, Jordan who were excellent
Blackadder,Whitelock Newell,Matera and Bridge were Hugh
great debuts by Bell and Calder both just 21.

At least next week we get back
Taylor,Barrett,Gallagher,Goodhue and Reece

Did Hallam-Eames make it onto the park?

He played for the Chiefs in pre-sesson, was called in to Highlanders as cover for a player with Covid (got covid himself) and now on bench for 'saders!

They're actually both 20. Hopefully they get a few more opportunities after this

Yup, played about 10 mins

[Chris]

Considering 5 players pulled out with Covid on the day of the game, 3 more players were on debut, 2 were just 20,And we rested Taylor,Goodhue,Reece and Barrett was serving his last week of suspension putting 50 points on the Force was a great effort.
The Blues almost got put away by the Force the game before and the Crusaders have always struggled over in Perth,the Crusaders camp must be feeling a lot better,a bonus with 6 of their top 23 back next week.
Taylor,Jager,Barrett,Gallagher,Goodhue,Reece

@Chris that's twice now it's been mentioned Gallagher is back next week. Are we sure about that? Wasn't he withdrawn because of Covid?

Crusaders struggled against the Rebels and the Blues destroyed them on Friday night. They also looked pathetic against the Warratahs. The same Warratahs who struggled to beat Moana Pasifika.

Damn hope so. The ABs desperately need some good young locks coming through.
