Crusaders v Waratahs

KiwiMurph

Teddy Wilson on U20 duty so Tane Edmed onto the bench for him

Wilson is a 9 so is replaced by Goddard.

NTA

@KiwiMurph good point. I knew that but was focused on the fact I completely missed our 6-2 split last week

Tamaiti Williams out

Any details on why? Precaution?

KiwiMurph

Good crowd.

Hopefully even more afternoon games next year.

Stargazer

@Tim I read in the media that he has so far played every game and a lot of minutes and he would have had a rest earlier if Oli Jager hadn't suffered an injury a few weeks ago. So I assume it's to give him a rest before the finals.

KiwiMurph

Nice try Crusaders.

Entertaining start to this game.

Stargazer

Cullen Grace injured?

KiwiMurph

Sad to see both Grace and Jorgensen gone with knee injuries

KiwiMurph

Obviously a mismatch backline but Crusaders discipline horrendous

Mattasaurus

Good to actually see offside getting punished properly.

Stargazer

Mo'unga injured?

Mattasaurus

Restarts no good for the Sothern franchises.... why play it down there at all .... just exit

KiwiMurph

Poor from Mo'unga. Failure to clear well not for the first time today.

Nepia

I missed the start, what did money bags Leicester get carded for?
