Crusaders vs Hurricanes

Big game in determining where both teams seasons are heading I feel. Crusaders will be happy to be back home and it's never an easy place to play for opposition teams. Think there's only 5-6 points in this game either way.

maybe in previous years, where the pack was led by Whitelock and Taylor and SB, and the backline had Mounga and Jordan and Leicester and a decent midfield.
This is not that team. -

TAB can't separate them - both at $1.95
When was the last time the Saders weren't favourites at home?
1996…
We might be able to pull one out of the bag, but other than the second half of the Chiefs match we have looked way off.
Canes attack the ruck and that is where we have been very disjointed.

That doesn't sound very Crusaders. Teething issues for the new management or something worse?
Difference of how they should play go wide at high tempo or a more restrained game reliant on set piece and drive up the middle before going wide.
Coaches on different wave lengths.
Some coaches saying they don't have the players for one sort of game other coaches saying the same about the other alternative.
Players a bit confused. -

@Chris that Waratahs game was really telling and seeing some of the formations live at the ground I was left somewhat confused about what we were trying to do.
We had plenty of attacking opportunities but after a break we didn’t quite know what was next.
Defensively our shape was off.
-
@mariner4life It's not, but I'll see how they fare at home before writing them off completely.
-
It's the Crusaders, i won't be writing them off until 10 minutes after they are officially eliminated
but that's the worst Crusaders team i have seen in a long time
-
@mariner4life Yeah maybe I'm scarred by them, but hey, a win could well change their season, and as I said, they may be a different beast at home.
There's still more than enough in that squad to have a decent season.

Exactly. And they are up against the best Hurricanes team of all time. Saders are no chance in this game.

Yeah spot on a lot of in decision going on.
As well as losing senior players and Razor, Scott Hansen was a massive loss he was such a real good analyst, he set game plans and ways to break down the oppositions strengths we don't really have that now. -
Penny is and always was a Burnside c***. He’s only there cause Mansbridge is also a Burnside c***. Tamati Ellison should be the head coach.
How do you pick Heinz ahead of Drummond and Hotham. CLW has been one of our best forwards all season.
I’ve taken the Hurricanes 13+ at $4. Easy money. -

How is CLW not even in the 23.Hienz should not even be in the squad. -
So this will be the first time in a while that no Barrett brother will feature in a Super Rugby round. Must be at least a few years.
