Crusaders vs Blues

@African-Monkey Very weak backline, poor locks, mediocre loose forwards, and a has-been loosehead prop. Don't forget the coach ...

I think Barrett,Blackadder,Amua or McLeod will feature this game unless there is a major change in their injury status by tomorrow.
Fixed haha.

Surprised they are named to start I would not be surprised if there were changes come kick off time.
2 of those players haven’t trained as yet. -

Weather forecast is fine with a high of 14C and a low of 1C. Judging on recent weather, the temperature might be about 7C at kick-off.
Crusaders will target the scrum. Should be a good contest. Expect them to spoil and disrupt at the ruck. Probably be a pretty tight game.
Lots of contestable kicks?

Fix the lineout and lineout drive, Rob.
Keep kicking with ambition into the corner - despite the fuck-up last week. No use setting up 15 metres from the line.
Everyone who has sent up jumpers against us has done so with success (weirdly the Brumbies didn't really and nearly came unstuck), so you need to do something they don't expect. Meanwhile, the lineout drive (when we've actually managed to secure our own ball) has been about as effective as the Blues under JK. Give Jason Ryan a ring - I don't know how to fix that. Send up- jumpers on their ball.
To paraphrase Grizz Wyllie - "Come on - it's only the fucking Blues!"
*When Grizz said it, it was only fucking United. The Seniors of club team I was playing under 14s for at the time. Glenmark was behind but they ended up winning by 20+!

Wait till he actually makes it over the chalk before believing it.
The man, the myth, the legend; rivalled only by Charlie Ngatai for stocks rising when not playing.
