Heem is a weird one.

@stargazer Only joined the squad two weeks ago, probably a bit slow at his age. Was never a high skill level player.

Clear advantage to Crusaders especially in the tight five. I think Laulala is one of the few tightheads in NZ that can handle Moody in the scrums though.

Pretty even in the pack for mine.

@kiwimurph I would have liked to see Rangi show some faith in Narawa

@gunner he did go pretty well last week (although he is always strong on the ball and defensively) guess it is at least some consistency though, I thought they'd start Christie.
Nock probably lost some points due to the YC which I thought was a bit of a harsh call.

I somehow think Crusaders will get points, front rows about even, second row Crusaders, loosies Blues, but out in backline it tends to head Crusaders way. 9-10 Crusaders, midfield even just Havili maybe ahead of Plaummer enough to cancel our Ioane ahead of Goodhue. Back 3 Crusaders as well as bench. Still Blues at home etc so just maybe.
