@sammyc said in Crusaders 2019:
Happy we picked Harmon over Christie.
Me too.
Christie looks small for Super rugby and he's short, which limits potential to add bulk.
Hopefully they've got Niko Jones and a few others locked away in an academy and developing them to be long run replacements for Matt Todd.
Not sure Billy's going to reach elite levels.

- Jordan Taufua
- Matt Todd
- Kieran Read
- Bryn Hall
- Richie Mo'unga
- George Bridge
- Ryan Crotty

- Dagg/Mataele/Ennor/Jordan/Punivai? (I hope it's Jordan).
- David Havili
RESERVES
16. Makalio or Funnell?
17. Tim Perry
18. Michael Alaalatoa
19. Luke Romano
20. Sanders/Douglas/Blackadder or Harmon?
21. Mitchell Drummond
22. Mitchell Hunt
23. Dagg/Mataele/Ennor/Jordan/Punivai? (If it's Jordan above, then Ennor). -

@chris Yep - but, I don't think it will be in the initial 23, though. He barely got a game for the Mako and this is at another level.
Things can change through the season, though - I'd think there would be several guys in that 23 looking over their shoulders.

@mariner4life Mate with that forward pack and inside backs/ midfield we could put Susan Boyle on the wing and still win a 10th Title

@sparky said in Crusaders 2019:
It is conceivable after the Japan test that the Crusaders will be able to put out a CV entirely made up of test-capped All Blacks.
Anyone who gets their first test cap against japan in this coming fixture should instead be referred to as a midweek tourist.

@darren-nicholson said in Crusaders 2019:
Might as well just cancel next years comp and give them the title now. It is basically an All black team.
That will be managed for the RWC...
-
@antipodean Yup, it's already confirmed that they'll have the mandatory 2 games off again, on top of the byes.
