<p>I don't think either away test will be easy, although playing in Durban is an easier task than at altitude in a short week.</p> -

<p>Remember there is only a 5 hour time difference. Not nearly as brutal as the old NZ SA legs that people had to do. Fair play to the TRC committee - they have managed to get the travel factor out of the comp by having 3x2 week blocks with two rest weeks. </p> -
14 in a row now. And likely 17 by end of Rugby Championship!!! Go us

I've looked into the crystal ball and I can't see us losing until the second test vs Wallabies in 2019. Of course it's after we've sealed the Bledisloe for the 17th straight year and we are resting Beauden and Jordie Barrett, and Bender before the World Cup..... 😎

and by losing you mean it's a moral victory to Australia because they got within 19 points and really fronted up right?

Christ, I was hoping a new thread meant a new start and less beating off over a guy who hasn't even played Super Rugby ( tongue in cheek or not )
Based on this logic of "sons being better than their Super 12 playing Dads" Todd Blackadders son should be approximately twice as good as Richie McCaw.

Some Aussie rugby fans do love a good moral victory. But hey I'm a NZ cricket supporter and I've been claiming those since Hadlee was steaming in....

You heard it first.
He's the next.... Beauden.
He will bring Super rugby glory back to the Crusaders.
No doubt. Sure thing

Finally got to see a little of Jordie in one of the Canterbury games, christ he is tall, my brother reckons 6ft 5inches. Not sure if there is any reliable stats but he certainly looks close to his lock brother Scott. I know it's way too early to say but it would be fun for the ABs in a couple years if he does progress as people hope that we could possibly get to a point of having a spare Barrett in the team. Could be quite demoralising for the opposition. 60 minutes in, time for a fresh Barrett!

@taniwharugby
Yep that's him! -
@Rembrandt said in 14 in a row ...:
I hope so cause that'll make me 6'1"
Wikipedia has Jordie at 6'5" as reliable as that can be. Anyone know any different?
The picture of Beauden, Jordie and Scott at Dagg's place for dinner showed him a good 3 inches taller than Beauden.
Unfortunately they weren't doing handstands next to each other so treat with caution

He is going to be a monster ( for a white back anyway
) 6 foot 5 and 96 kilos at 19 , another 3 years in the gym he will be a decent sized midfielder -

@taniwharugby Interesting Kamo was saying , Jordie is the same dimensions now , as he was as a test lock
