Crusaders v Rebels
-
@sparky They're good at home as conditions and a smaller field suits them and opposition struggle to adapt coming to Chch.
They should have enough to qualify for the 8, but their away form is a concern.
-
They really need to rethink thier Mid field, Aumua and McLeod ain't up to it.
They also still look like a team not entirely on the same page, so often mis timed passes or runners and affects the cohesion across the park, which will impact players confidence.
As above, Barrett will make a huge difference to the team going forward.

Still lots of issues but much better. Forwards were good, backs still have many things to iron out.
When I watch Blackadder, I see one of the most effective loose forwards in the comp. Whether the team is going well or not, he leaves nothing on the field. One of the first on the AB teamsheet for me. -
@Old-Samurai-Jack the problem I see with Blackadder is where would you play him? He is not the best in any given position. Bench loosie at best for the ABs. And that's debatable.
-
@Crazy-Horse I would start either him or Papalii at 7 if Ardie is at 8 (which he will be).
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack I think teams are going for more the bigger 7 nowadays, so can see the point. (If I want us following other teams of course)

I could be wrong but I think he’s been playing plenty at 7 in Japan. I’m intrigued to see where Razor likes him.
