Crusaders vs Hurricanes
-
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.

@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.
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.

Probably self-inflicted to avoid the misery. Why has Drummond not started this year? He is the most experienced by a long shot.

Teamsheets for this fixture are the wrong way round https://thesilverfern.com/teamsheets/
Forgot to laugh at Heinz being a starter. Did they not watch his last game?

Fixed. Thanks

Pretty easily for the bold. He's clearly a level or two below for now.

Risky. As he certainly wasn't up to much with selections coaching Wellington

@Tim said in Crusaders vs Hurricanes:
Mafileo injured, rotated, dropped?
Good question. But based on this maybe. Or maybe not. Thought he played well enought to retain his place in the team though
The Hurricanes have named an unchanged backline from the side that were super impressive against the Blues at Sky Stadium last Saturday but due to injury have had to make some tweaks to their forward pack.
Loosehead prop Xavier Numia has been promoted to the starting lineup and joins Asafo Aumua and Tyrel Lomax in the front row, while loose forwards Devan Flanders and Du’Plessis Kirifi return to the side after injury layoffs. Lock Justin Sangster and prop Pouri Rakete-Stones have also been called onto the bench for this match, with TK Howden out with a foot injury and Caleb Delany unavailable due to concussion.
-
@Tim rotated out, he'll be in the 23 again next week. Numia will likely come out, Rakete-Stones might get a start.
It's nice to have the luxury of having a raft of solid props for a change. No one's dropped the ball yet so we won't lose much rotating at this point in the season, a few selection decisions will need to be made later in the year though.
-
I suspect experience at 9 to contain Roigard.
No SB a major loss for leadership and someone who plays the 'just follow me boys' in crucial moments.
For a season where at 10 we are already at who is Kemara ...... who the heck is Hohepa? I hope he has at least some combo with Heinz or Havilli. No Lio-Willie ?!!??!
Got a feeling this is going to get very ugly
Hurricanes primed for Crusaders in Christchurch
