Crusaders v Chiefs
-
Eh I'll give it a crack coz I'm bored. I expect McMillan to bring some changes, especially in the backs.
- Reuben O'Neill
- Samisoni Taukei'aho
- Angus Ta'avao
- Tupou Vaa'i
- Naitoa Ah Kuoi
- Samipeni Finau
- Sam Cane
- Luke Jacobson
- Brad Weber
- Damian McKenzie
- Etene Nanai-Seturo
- Alex Nankivell
- ALB
- Jonah Lowe
- Shaun Stevenson
Reserves:
16. Bradley Slater
17. Ollie Norris
18. Sione Mafileo
19. Stan van den Hoven
20. Simon Parker
21. Xavier Roe
22. Kaleb Trask
23. Sean WainuiI'd pick ALB at 12 usually but Wainui was problematic and Nankivell is a better 12 than 13. Hopefully I didn't name any injured players.

Probably better, but still Saders by lots. No help up front in that bench, and not strong enough in the starting 15 to hold back the matrix.

If Mafileo is in the 23 he starts. A much better scrummager than Angus.
With all props fit I would like Ross and Mafileo to start with Moli and Ta'avao on the bench.
Any knowledge of a reserve hooker that can throw straight?

Good luck with that search! All teams seem to have the same problem.

Gatland at 10 and Wainui at 13 again is nuts considering how shit they were. We're fucked.
haha this will suck. i ain't watching

McMillan's selections are all over the place. He's obviously got a hard-on for Wainui at centre.
Looking forward to seeing how Lord goes. There seems to be a "plan" to give most of the squad a game over the first few rounds. With K Boshier on the bench I think Jacobson will move into no.7.
