That's a fair way from the best team we can field.

Got a bit of a 2024 vibe about it!

Same. This is not a vintage Saders team.

Yeah in the same boat as you guy's,I have an uneasy feeling about this game.

[Chris B.]

@Chris TAB has the Crusaders as hot favourites - paying $1.45 when I looked earlier today.

I might put an insurance bet on the Tahs!

Crusaders have lost 3/4 of their last away games to Tahs, i reckon if they're not thorough in their prep, don't turn up with the right mentality there could be another upset on the cards here...

Every chance of a loss I reckon

The Tahs have lost Joseph, otherwise I’d bank on a Tahs win.

Taylor,Barrett,Newell,Blackadder and Jordan out makes it tough.The players getting a start because of those players being out need to really stand up.

[Chris B.]

@Chris Waratahs at home still paying $2.60 on the TAB.

The pundits apparently really rate Joseph Sua'ali'i!

Or maybe NTA has made a massive insurance bet on the Crusaders!

In my mind, the Waratahs are favourites.

[george33]

@Chris-B Crusaders by probably 15 or more.,

[Chris B.]

@george33 I certainly hope you're right!

But, I'm far from convinced!

See your GP for brain worms.

[Mattasaurus]

Looked far too easy with Lancaster rushing up to take no one and leave a massive hole.

Tahs trying to lose this game in the first 10 mins.
