Maybe Razor was always planning on resting them this week and decided not to change his plan?
After all, why take a full strength side to Sydney unless you're worried about for/against?
-
Just been relayed some information regarding the Crusaders winning streak..according to SANZAR even though the Saders v Landers match was abandoned,.therefore the Crusaders winning streak is officially over..a bit unfair if you ask me,after all no game was played even though there points for the draw given out.thoughts..?
-
@Steven-Harris Well... it is shit in the context of what happened last week.
-
@NTA perspective fair enough.
-
@Steven-Harris Yeah not sure that kind of stat is going to matter when the Crusaders romp to yet another title.
-
-
Well, official or not, their winning streak is only over on paper, not in the real world. You can't win, not-win, draw, lose or not-lose if you don't play.
Also, even if they've officially lost their winning streak, they still have a non-losing streak.

That's just dumb, the game was cancelled, they didn't play out a draw. FFS, fishheads are idiots sometimes.
Defies logic and frankly, if true, belief.
However, these are the same people that have spent the past half dozen years working assiduously to kill the golden goose that is Super rugby, so it won't surprise me.

Who is declaring it officially over?

So, in the injury ward we have: Joe Moody, Tim Perry, Manasa Mataele, Oli Jager, Israel Dagg
Rested: Richie Mo'unga, Scott Barrett, Kieran Read
Not selected: Blackadder, Dunshea, Funnell, Harmon, Bateman, Drummond, Faingaanuku, Punavai
We've got a decent squad!

Duh. Mr Relayed!

@Stargazer said in Waratahs vs Crusaders:
So they can make exceptions to the ABs rest breaks for Dmac and Retallick, but not for Mo'unga and Scott Barrett. Maybe because they expect the Chiefs not to reach the finals and the Crusaders to go all the way?
It’s only the Tahs.....
-
@Chris-B fancy sparing Dunshea for a few rounds. He would look great in Black and Yellow. 😃
-
@Canes4life He would look like a bumblebee!

Oli Jager was named in the Crusaders Knights squad for their game, last Saturday. So he's no longer injured.
Isn't Sevu Reece signed as injury replacement for Mataele? -
@Canes4life Geez I know you guys are desperate for locks but are you really that desperate? He's average.
-
@African-Monkey at 6cm taller than Blackwell - yes please.
-
@African-Monkey Who are the tier of locks below the All Blacks?
(Whitelock, Barrett, Retallick, Romano, and Tuipulotu)
Strange, Parkinson, Scrafton? Anyone else? Walker-Leawere (1.97m) for the future?
