SF: Crusaders (Good) v Blues (Evil)
-
@Steven-Harris yep and wasn't a criticsm of your post or anything either mate, just evey team I coached etc, I would say don't let who is injured in opposition make you think the game is easier etc, recipe for disaster.

@Steven-Harris Certainly won't be surprised if we get beaten.
You have to make a couple of odd positional selections with props in the backline, but here's the Crusaders Unavailable XV
Moody, Bell, Newell
Whitelock, Gallagher
Dunshea, Blackadder, Grace
Hotham, Kemara
Havili, Brewis
Reece, Springer, Bower -

I am assuming that TJ will be on a flight to Chch today.
Gee thanks. I had been looking forward to watching
Better to reconcile with the fact, than be shocked at 7 pm. I can't even remove the commentary now!
I could be wrong but it seems to be written into his Sky contract.

Whitelock and Blackadder are big losses for the Crusader's but I still think they'll get through. Blues forwards aren't quite there yet to force the result.
I'm amazed to see the line "injury ravaged Crusaders team" and still see Goodhue on the team sheet however.

I'm picking a boil over tonight, I think the Blues will get the job done somehow.
The Crusaders without Whitelock in the playoffs are there for the taking. They always go down a cog when he's not on the field and I think with the injury toll to the Crusaders, it might just be the Blues night.
But I also wouldn't put my money on the Crusaders losing so what do I know.

I’m so looking forward to this game. We have a shot, we are a good team and well coached these days. Winning away in Christchurch is not easy, and there is an obvious mental hurdle that all teams need against them to cross to get a win.
We also have injuries, having two in one position which is also the main area that the Crusaders will attack is not great. Hopefully Coventry has simple solutions that can be implemented under the blowtorch that’s coming.
Proper battle coming, can’t wait.
