@Machpants Is this Under 20s SuperRugby just a small tournament among the Kiwi teams or is it kind of like a reserve grade?

@SBW1 The Super Rugby U20 thread is here:

The Super Rugby U20 tournament serves foremost as a selection process for the NZ Under 20s. It's not like a reserve grade.
In addition, the franchises' development teams are usually meant to give game time to full squad members that don't get game time during Super Rugby, until club rugby starts. Apart from full squad members, often Academy players will fill the remaining spots in the development teams.

Who here is worried the Crusaders might win the spoon this year?

@kiwi_expat I am of the belief that the NZ XV side which was coached by Leon Macdonald was close to what will be rolled out in the not too distant future. The Saders have started off fairly slow this year and the coach has experienced a few disruptions.
Yeah Razor has been missing for almost 2 weeks with his Wife's brother passing away.

@Chris That game in Fiji was always going to be either a banana skin or a cricket score for us, unfortunately the former. We still hopefully have a few players yet to come back who will make an impact.
Hopefully Leicester,Mo’unga,Taylor,Blackadder and Moodey,Drummond back next game.

Any word on Grace's injury?

@Crazy-Horse I'd like to know Will Jordan's status as well. And for how long Havili will be out for.

No up dates but I heard last week it was not good.

By the way, does anyone know the result of the Crusaders Development team's game v Highlanders Bravehearts? I found this line-up.
Is this our reserve grade? Harford is captain, hopefully he gets plays into some form. Possibly a future 10 next year if he is able to replicated some of his form from last year.

It’s another relative not brother. But regardless why would you post such information on a public forum? Let the guy have a private life.

@Billy-Tell It was mentioned in the media, so mentioning it here is fine. And it was his wife's father, not her brother.
