                I guess Hugh Roach would've played next to Alaalatoa before

                    Sanders will have flagged this game ages ago to rest players but man, that looks like a real 2nd XV. In fact it looks like a 2nd XXIII

                          @KiwiMurph Yeah, but Alaalatoa only played one game for the Tahs in the two years he was there.

                              @Crazy-Horse Was wondering the same thing. The NZU20s and Canterbury only used him at lock.

                                Cameron makes me nervous, even against the Sunwolves. And there's only Burke to come on if he shits the bed.

                                          This Saders side has absolutely no idea on attack. More like a wet paper bag. Farks sake come on guys! Gonna be the last tame for a while, jeez
                                          Can't believe how much Bridge has regressed. Romano too. And Reece seems to be catching this malaise.

                                              I think 10 of the Crusaders starting XV are from the Canterbury NPC team.

                                              Give the ball to Big Leicester!

                                                          @Jailbreak7 That's just a humorous speculation - but, TBH it was a pretty poor selection.

                                                            Meh. Crusaders virtually have the Canterbury M10 Cup side out there today. Even if they win ugly then so be it. 4 points is 4 points but I expect them to pull away in the 2nd half.
