I seem to be missing something with Fifita,I must be falling asleep during games and missing all the great work he is getting through to keep him in the AB squad.

Big worry for me is Foster has no idea as an attack coach We are floundering getting much gain at the advantage line and I dont see what we are trying to achieve with the ball in hand at times.

ABs by 20 tomorrow We are going to play Ireland for real this time not on an end of the year tour When our players are fatigued from a big home season.They will be pumped no second chances here they will not want to go out in QF and finish a few AB careers on that. I am hoping Australia pull of a minor miracle and take the Poms out not that I like Australia I just hate the Poms more.

Don't know about other Crusaders supporters on the Fern but I hate the changing of the Crusaders Logo but I will not stop supporting my team because of it. Some of the knee jerk reaction I am reading on I won't support the Crusaders anymore Not on the fern but elsewhere well Fuck off then you never were a supporter I went through the first years of being Shit the Blackadder years when we couldn't win shit.Earthquakes AMI stadium being pulled my team playing in a shitty cold hole of a stadium and you so called supporters sook about that shit.Makes me sick. Rant Over.

@stargazer Not only the Great Test matches,Canterbury,Crusaders games. Cricket Nathan Astles double ton v England,Colin Croft shoulder charging Umpire Fred Goodall,Richard Hadlee steaming in,Peter Snell breaking 2 world records in 1962,Some great concerts held there New Zealand History very sad

When is the experiment with McKenzie playing First Five going to end, He's a Fullback who can tear teams apart not a crab for a first Five running to the sidelines every time. FFS if he is 2nd choice for the AB's as a First Five we are in trouble come WC.

Hansen won’t be sacked neither will idiot Foster We are going to the big show with these 2 no doubt.I just hope Hansen gets his head out of his arse in time to get us back on track.

Reiko is playing himself out of contention for the big games

If Wales win this they won’t win the SF Not on this performance

@Chris said in Crusaders v Blues:

Looks like The Blues have gone for a 3rd kicking option in Plummer thinking of a territory game in the Chch winter night ,maybe the reason for Plummers selection.

I wonder if they assumed Jordan would be the starting fullback? I think Jordan still has a few issues with his positional play, Havili does not

That’s a good point maybe that was in their thinking

I'm surprised Jordie Barrett is up there. Is he a sneaky grub? I can't remember any incidents involving him.

Sio Tomkinson probably should be up there, but he's not a high profile player.

Off the field he may have got the grub rep

He's not J-Mac for nothing eh.

There are rumours about that stuff but rumours stick sometimes

My pet hate Ben O’Keefe once again did not let me down I cringe when I see his name down to ref a game. Another inconsistent poor display by Mr O’Keefe.

@Canes4life said in Crusaders 2020:

@Chris way way way too tall.

yeah, fair call. 3cm shorter than Ardie according to Wikipedia. So Ardie could be a lock, while Jordan covers 6 or 8?

Yep perfect for the Canes

@Stargazer said in Crusaders 2020:

@Chris He was in town (Chch) recently. And then he went to Wellington, did some coaching with Terence Hepetema there, and then back to Auckland. And then he tried to get back to England, but miscommunication from Air NZ made him miss his flight. That was on 16 June according to his twitter. I think he arrived in England a few days later.

Looks like he is leaving Leicester

@nzzp said in Crusaders 2020:

@Chris Jordan Taufua could be a lock in Wellington

Too Tall

@Stargazer said in Crusaders 2020:

@Chris He only just went back to Leicester, two weeks ago. If he's in Chch, that would be really quick and he must still be in isolation.

Jordan Taufua is back in Chch, apparently he has left Leicester maybe looking for a Gig could slot in for Grace nicely.
