Crusaders v Brumbies

KiwiMurph

@KiwiMurph they won't be able to make the top 2 and therefore won't get a home semi. They won't win a semi in NZ let alone a semi & a final in NZ.

I'm not sure what you've seen so far that leads you to that opinion. They've already beaten the Blues.

So the Crusaders are missing Finlay Brewis, Oliver Jager, Fletcher Newell, George Bell, Mitchell Dunshea, Quinten Strange, Sam Whitelock, Cullen Grace, Taha Kemara, David Havili, Jack Goodhue, Sevu Reece and Will Jordan? Or did I forget someone?

I thought you were naming the team there!

And if they beat the Crusaders they would be a long way to getting some home knockout games!

Change to the Crusaders: Zach Gallagher out with a hamstring injury; Dom Gardiner starting; Jamie Hannah will wear the 19 jersey.

Looking like Pickerill no longer believes players need to stay on their feet at rucks.

That's some poor defence by the Brumbies.

Getting tough for me to choose between Blackadder and Papalii for starting AB 7.

Bones

Ennor having a good game, showing great wing skills at centre.

Blackadder is the starting 6.

Blackadder is the starting 6.

I guess having three 7s is the next logical step.

Bones

Really glad Patafilo has finally got a shot, great sum up and kick by him.

Wouldn’t mind Blackadder in the 6 jersey aswell. He’s got plenty of ticker. Maybe too small for a international 6 but he’s getting better and better.

how would he go in the lineout at 6, being about 1.9m?

antipodean

Can Mo'unga catch a ball?

KiwiMurph

Pickerall being the Blues in house ref consultant explains the Blues poor discipline.

Derpus

Can't remember a 'Saders side being so nonclinical... not that it'll matter.

DMack

@Bones he’s great. Paps 7 Blackadder 6. Or vice versa. Both options sound good to me.

It might if Brumbies had picked their best side.

antipodean

I hope whoever is the Crusaders handling coach stays the fuck away from the All Blacks.

Yeetyaah

Only watched that last 10 but McLeod looks good
