Crusaders v Brumbies

@Dan54 Far out.
Really testing the depth.
I see Quinten Strange has a hamstring injury, which answers my question from last week.

So the Crusaders are missing Finlay Brewis, Oliver Jager, Fletcher Newell, George Bell, Mitchell Dunshea, Quinten Strange, Sam Whitelock, Cullen Grace, Taha Kemara, David Havili, Jack Goodhue, Sevu Reece and Will Jordan? Or did I forget someone?
That sounds right.
They also have Barrett and Bower due for a rest week next game v Reds.
I would expect to see Will Gaulter,Jamie Hannah and Alex Harford on the bench this week -

@Stargazer said in Crusaders v Brumbies:
@Chris I don't think they'll need Gualter and Harford. They still have Nanai and Fihaki from the full squad members, assuming Pafafilo is already there.
LF maybe out as well he banged his ribs up a bit in the Blues game.

Even many of our AB XV B team players seem to be out too 😄
If the Brumbies can’t win this one

Crusaders Name Side for Brumbies Clash
The Crusaders have named their team to face the Brumbies on Friday 24 March at home. After a big win against the Blues at Eden Park in Round 4 last weekend, the team are riding high and ready to take on the currently-unbeaten Brumbies.

Brumbies on the other hand lose a lot of strength resting Slipper, Valetini, Samu, White and Wright

Nothing to do with the comp. Thats down to resting policies in a RWC year from national unions

In the 2023 Super Rugby competition. @mariner4life is bang on the money; this should be a primetime, bums on seats fixture.

Don't disagree. Just thought he was blaming the comp rather than the resting policies.

Good to see Gardiner back. Hopefully he gets an injury free run. He looked handy at the end of last year.

@ARHS the statistical likelihood of the Brumbies winning away to the Crusaders is probably lower than in any other game across the season. So makes sense to tick off a bunch of forced rest periods in a throw-away match.
And yeah SR is a fucking joke and we shouldn't have signed up for another 10 years of this nonsense.
