Crusaders v Waratahs

[Stargazer]

Another Crusader injured.

And another one.

Good crowd in....

[KiwiMurph]

Nice try by the Tahs

[Mattasaurus]

Comfortable win... injury concerns for the the Saders.

Tahs were pretty poor.

[Damo]

Not quite as convincing in the second half but my take out of that game is that Crusaders are looking ominous.

[Stargazer]

It looks like the Crusaders have lost Grace, Lio-Willie and Havili for the rest of the season. Their injuries looked serious.

Must have thought the injury ward was looking a bit empty.

Lio Willie was standing in the huddle at the end, but looking a bit ginger - hopefully a good sign that he's not too serious.

Saw Havili's hammy in real time and suspected he wasn't going to get up quickly.

Aside from that a good win - most of our guys played well after the first 10-15 minutes. Shout out to Fergus Burke who produced some magic.

Blackadder supposed to be back next week
Goodhue probably to 12 now
Barrett,Jordan and Williams back
Gardiner still a LF option.
Not all bad.
Some players left in the tank

[Stargazer]

@Chris It is all bad for the players concerned, especially those who are hoping to play at the RWC. That's the ultimate goal and to have that possibly ripped away by an injury is awful.

@Stargazer
Of course that goes with out saying,
Poor Cullen has worked so hard to get fit and he has been knocked down again.

But of course I was posting on a team perspective going forward.

@KiwiMurph He flew out just two days ago from France economy class.

Played one game, already one of the great Crusaders.
