Brumbies v Crusaders

[Duluth]

Brumbies have not beaten the Crusaders since 2009

Might as well just mark this down as a win for the Crusaders

[Duluth]

Here are the teams from that game in 2009:

Mark Gerrard, Clyde Rathbone, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Stirling Mortlock, Francis Fainifo, Christian Leali'ifano, Patrick Phibbs, Stephen Hoiles, George Smith, Julian Salvi, Mark Chisholm, Ben Hand, Guy Shepherdson, Stephen Moore, Nic Henderson
Reserves: Huia Edmonds, Ben Alexander, Peter Kimlin, Sitaleki Timani, Josh Holmes, Matt To'omua, Tyrone Smith

Stephen Brett, Jared Payne, Casey Laulala, Tim Bateman, Kade Poki, Colin Slade, Andy Ellis, Thomas Waldrom, George Whitelock, Kieran Read, Ross Filipo, Isaac Ross, Ben Franks, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett
Reserves: Jason Macdonald, Bronson Murray, Michael Paterson, Nasi Manu, Kahn Fotuali'i, Ryan Crotty, Adam Whitelock

Brumbies won 18-16

Crotty is still there

More day time rugby. Good stuff.

That Brumbies team would absolutely feed it to the current Brumbies team.

Astoundingly that is a weak looking Crusaders outfit though.

@mariner4life The Crusaders squad now is better than that Crusaders side on paper.

Fergus Burke back at 10 v Brumbies

The Crusaders head to Canberra this weekend as we climb into the last weeks of the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific competition. Fergus Burke has returned to full strength and will start at 10.

McLeod is also injured.

Running low on midfielders. So one of the wings covering 13 and Burke covering 12?

Wow that's not good ,Aumua probably wants out I'm hearing

The way he's played this year after all the hype, I think the feeling will be mutual

[Duluth]

This would've been a good game for Aumua to play. Tua is near the top of the missed tackles list

Ennor back next season and young Toby Bell getting close would not be a major worry if Amua wants out, He has been a major problem in the defensive line this season,
But I am not hearing he does want out.
