Crusaders 2024
-
Just heard on SENZ that Munster sold out their 15,000 seat ground for the Crusaders game in 20 mins, so they moved it to the local 40,000 seat Gaelic Football stadium and that also sold out. A tough ask for the Crusaders for a first preseason hit out in front of 40,000 rabid Munster fans. It should be fun. I hope we can watch in NZ?
Edit: It is the first 6 Nations weekend so Munster won't have their Test players. Will any All Blacks be available for the Saders? -

Welsh test centurion Leigh Halfpenny's future in Super Rugby Pacific is uncertain, after he suffered a serious chest injury against Munster in Ireland last Sunday morning (NZT). The Crusaders have confirmed the fullback, who transferred to Christchurch after 101 appearances for Wales and four for the British and Irish Lions, tore a pectoral muscle during the 21-19 loss to Munster in Cork.

Yeah He won't play much or more likely no Super Rugby.

Jordan is dealing with a lingering shoulder complaint and is being reviewed by the Christchurch-based franchise’s medical team. An update is expected by the end of the week
Loose forward Ethan Blackadder, who also missed much of last year injured, is expected to miss the first three or four games with a calf injury, while midfielder David Havili is returning from an extended break and won’t be available until week two.

I am shocked Blackadder is injured. I never saw that coming.
