Crusaders 2025

[SBW1]

Hopefully a better preseason and with no tour to the UK like this year they will have a much better season. In adition a number of Crusaders will be getting game time with the Abs and Ab XV.

What about Bryn Hall ? He's back in NZ and playing well for NH.

[SBW1]

@cgrant He would be a great addition to the Saders has a few titles under his belt.

[SBW1]

@SBW1 According to his wikipedia he maybe off contract, at 32 would be a good addition to the halfback stock.

Yeah would be handy.......

While we're at it, has anyone heard whether Robbie Fruean is available next year???

[SBW1]

He has hung up his boots and is in Christchurch coaching. Given our track record bringing guys in who are about to retire or who have hung up their boots, doesn't seem that out of the box.

@brodean
Why did he get selected and come off the bench in the game after the Rebels if he had an injured shoulder?

Since I can not answer in the other thread I will here.
Reihana had a stinger to the shoulder and was unavailable for the Rebels game so they tried Havilli,
Reihana recovered for the next game and they eased him back on the bench.
