Crusaders 2022

[Chris B.]

In TV3 news they played a bit of footage of the match.

So they evidently had a camera there.

In this day and age - how hard is it to stream these games?

Not very - and pretty poor that no-one bothers to.

The Chiefs-Moana Pacifica game is on Sky right now, but I wouldn't have known except by accident.

Maybe this one was...

And those brief highlights were a waste of time, not even showing any tries.

Highlanders lead 17-10 at half time. Liam Coltman scored from a rolling maul, and the Crusaders scored from halfway - no mention of who scored.

That was Dallas McLeod.

@george33 After a penalty try the Crusaders take the lead after managing to cross in the corner. Conversion unsuccessful. CRU 19-17

That was Simon Hickey scoring for the Crusaders.

It sure would be weird if one of those guys manage to score.

I was meaning the wider squad. Naholo, Naholo, Vahaakolo, Fihaki. There are some decent scoring options there

I don't think Blackadder will start Rd 1 so Grace probably starting.

Burke or Hickey to get the first start?

I think they’ll go with Hickey

Burke would be my bet.
I have heard Lucas Cashmore has made a bit of an impression,Not likely to be in the 23 first Rd though.
