    @mariner4life won't happen, BB will start, RM should at least be on the bench, but whether he will is the question.

    Does that suit both players' strengths? Or is it just picking the two best guys in some sort of prearranged pecking order?

    Mounga

    Daylight

    Every other 10 in NZ.

    Must start first test

    If DMac is picked ahead of him again it would be an absolute farce.

    Mounga start, Dmac off the bench

    Mo’unga to start, BB at fullback, B Smith on the wing (given he’s not always From Accounts on defence these days).

    @mariner4life as always, I think they know what they want and until BB shits the bed in Black or gets injured, he starts (aside from when he is rested)

    We’ll need someone to bring out the kicking tee. Step up Bauden....

    @mariner4life seriously though, I'd like to see Mo'unga get time off the bench v Aus/SA and a start vs the Argy. He's proven himself at this level now, deserves a chance to take the next step. I'm concerned the coaches love of all things Barrett and misplaced faith in DMac will see him get limited chances.

    Crusaders are an all round machine this year. Deserved winners by a mile.

    Pretty quiet game from Reid, prefer he stays out of the heavy contact stuff now and saves himself for the internationals

    I don't think we were watching the same game. Thought Read was immense and definitely outplayed Whitely.

    @no-quarter i think starting richie and BB off the bench is best use of both their talents. DMac as a handy backup.

    Barretts will start. Dmac will bench (a decision i can understand) and unless we lose, most will be cool with it.

    Congratulations Crusaders. The best team in the comp by a very long way. It was not close.

    Final was a better game than I thought it might be. Lions were 0 wins 5 losses this year vs NZ teams i think?

    It's not great for the health of the competition how far ahead of the rest of the comp the Crusaders are. Dagg and Crockett can't make the 23 but would start for most/a lot of other teams in the comp.

    Justice

    Complete piston wristed gibbons that they are ( and always will be) that Crusaders team this year and with no other Crusaders fans in the room, were a pleasure to watch playing 100% winning rugby.

    Get Razor the big job - we could all do with the fun and he sure as shit knows his job

    Well done red and black, fair dues

    Bloody good season by the Crusaders.
    Strange game tonight. The territory and possession stats were crazy. Not helped by poor exiting by the saders.
    Mounga MOTM.
    Wasn't Hall's best game. Poor box kicking and doing the Pulu pause at the base of the ruck too often.
    Moody has been a liability this season.

    Lions need to pray harder or find a new god. 0-3 means he isn't listening.

    That stat line was crazy, but the crusaders were so very efficient that they would score very quickly whenever they got ball, especially in the first half, while the lions were good enough to put phases together but couldn't score points.

    Mounga is going from strength to strength. End of year tour will be key for him I think, he'll get at least one start there and that will be the game he needs to crush if he wants to get past Barrett and dmc before the rwc.

    Getting close to the buffalo bills now (4 consecutive super bowl losses).
