Crusaders Name U20s Wider Squad
Crusaders Academy Director Aaron Webb has named the wider training squad for the Crusaders U20 side for 2023.
-
A couple of familiar names to me in the Crusaders squad.
George Reeves was the Hamilton BHS no.8 in 2021. From farming stock so likely at Lincoln.
Brodie Robinson was the starting left wing last year. He's tall and fast, and was in the Barbarians U18s. I thought he would stay in the Waikato but obviously not.Hopefully the other wider squads are released too.

@Stargazer I had overlooked that Moses McGoon is listed too. A prop.
Dawson Smith was there last year (went to St Peter's Cambridge). Paenga-Morgan went to St Paul's and GBHS.
As to Brown, it will depend on whether he signed a contract with HB before the Crusaders got him. Kemara, signed for Waikato while still at school, for example.

@Bovidae So, not Max Radcliffe in the Chiefs U20s, either. That leaves the Highlanders U20s as the only remaining U20 team of which we don't have a clue who's in it. Max isn't in the HB Academy team, nor in the Hurricanes U20s. As one of the players standing out in 1st XV rugby, last year, and member of the Māori U18 team, I'd expect to see him named in one of the squads. Can't imagine him no longer playing after school or not being picked.

@Stargazer Without knowing who is unavailable through injury it's hard to know where player X is if they aren't named in a squad and no injured list is also released.
I've decided to go and watch the Chiefs game as the weather has improved.
