QF: Crusaders v Drua
-
There was a noticeable difference in the Saders pack with big Sam not coming out after the break last week, not just his physical presence but his leadership too, was clearly missed - From a national perspective, I really hope he is not rushed back unnecessarily early for Super rugby.
Bit of a banana skin quarter for the saders.. they should win this comfortably , in cold Chch conditions.... just don't want any more additions to the casualty list really
-
the olde defensive bombs strikes again.
Drua can't miss tackles like that all night..
-
Good handling by Barrett in the lead up to both tries.

This could be a bloodbath
Doesn't quite have that edge of the seat suspense to it like two hours ago...

Crusaders are getting loose already, not where near the discipline and control needed. Hard when you're 21 up in minutes I guess
This type of play could bring the Drua back into the game.
-
Saders need to watch their discipline here.

Headspace thing. Mirror image of the England Test last year.
-
That turnover penalty sets an unreasonable standard IMO

Yeah - Drua seem like the kind of team that could feed off hubris.
Let the Crusaders get loosy-goosy, sucked into playing their game, then rip 'em up.
But - Crusaders are professional enough, and have Mohammed as coach - so the half-time talk will put a stop to all that nonsense, I'm sure.
