@Chris Grace gone for another 6 weeks according to the article. How are they tracking in regards to bringing in young ones from the academy. I know last week we had a new halfback, who wilted a bit under pressure, still good that he got a run at the top level.
Jamie Hannah I believe is Dunshea's replacement,
Will Gaulter is training with the team probably covering Goodhue.
Looks like the starters and bench in the Front row v Dura are covering Newell and Bell.
Not sure who is covering for Jordan and Grace atm. -

@Chris This will be the year we will be blooding a lot of the academy guys. Alex Harford will get his debut before long I would imagine.
Yep maybe good for the long term,Harford is in the WTG probably will get a contract 2024 With Richie gone.

@Stargazer It looks like we are giving at least one debutant a run per game if the beginning of the season is anything is to go by. Next week against the Brumbies, will be all hands on deck, this is a big game.

Following round 3 in Fiji our medical team have provided an update to Taha Kemara and David Havili.
Taha Kemara broke a bone in his hand playing against the Fijian Drua in Round 3. His return to play is expected to be about 5-6 weeks.
David Havili injured his left shoulder in the same game. Investigations have determined he injured structures in the region of the AC joint. He is progressing well and is expected to return to play in 3-6 weeks.
And this:
Super Rugby Pacific: All Blacks duo Sam Whitelock, Sevu Reece add to Crusaders' growing injury toll | Newshub
Both players are set to spend an extended period on the sidelines.
Whitelock suffered a broken hand during Saturday's thrilling win against the Blues at Eden Park, while Reece has sustained a "serious" knee injury.
The recovery timeframe for both players is still uncertain, with further scans on Wednesday set to provide more clarity.
