Quite happy to cut these guys some slack given the heat we are experiencing at this time of the year , last nights game in Australia was played in ridiculous heat not to mention round 1 in 2019 was played on 15th February, that’s 2 weeks from now...
think the game last night was the first Super game in Jan...? Was 2007 they played first weekend of Feb as well, but usually mid-late FEb

@taniwharugby to be honest , it really is ridiculous starting this early given the heat and humidity alone , there will be some who will say , that’s what they get paid for, but in my opinion , it does not make it right ..

I think it should be better next year with the round robin competition. But, yeah, I actually liked having the tests in June and the Super Rugby break. That was much maligned but now it is gone we have to start the season a lot earlier. It's a trade off.

This season is already shaping up to be a season of haves & have not
Clear gap btw the likes of Crusaders Jaguares Chiefs Canes & Brumbies and other 11 SR teams
RR format starting next year can't come soon enough 18 weeks from start to finish instead of this season which will be 21 weeks

This didn't go as well as I hoped.

@antipodean As well as expected tho? So far the games have run to script, apart from the Rebels, I think

Has Havili ever played at 1st Five ? He could be a good back up to Mo'unga in case of emergency. The Crusaders could play Jordan or Bridge at fullback if he has to move there.
I did not expect my question to be so quickly answered by the Crusaders staff ... (see the lineup against the Chiefs).
