Crusaders v Waratahs
-
@Stargazer This article in the week leading up to the Chiefs game said Blackadder was only nearing the halfway point in his recovery, and seems to be a bit more accurate than suggestions for the last few weeks that his return is imminent (which hopefully it now is).
Blackadder looking forward to 'unreal' Crusaders-Chiefs clash
The injured loose forward said his teammates were "pumped" for the game against the top-of-the-table Chiefs.
It is a bit concerning not to see Will on the teamsheet - but, I guess they are managing him very carefully.

If that’s what he needs then it’s a concern for the ABs

Compared to last week:
Hooper rested - Gamble promoted - bench reverts to 5-3
Seu replaces Harris who goes to the bench
Tuipolotou comes in for Perese, Walton goes out 1
Lambert back onto the bench for Holz
Goddard onto the bench to fill the remaining hole
Teddy Wilson on U20 duty so Tane Edmed onto the bench for himPretty close to what you'd call full strength, considering the injuries.
Bell, Foketi, Perese probably being the main ones.
Don't lose much with Gamble instead of Hooper.
