Crusaders vs. Highlanders

@Crazy-Horse Yeah - they're probably not the coolest-headed guys you could pick, but on the other hand - Ben Smith got carded in the RWC Final.
I think the pluses outweigh the minuses for WN and MF, though I don't expect either will make the starting XV.
On a different topic - I cannot understand why Jordie Barrett gets mentioned anywhere in the frame as an AB first five. To my knowledge, he's never played a minute of first five in a first class match, so he's simply not close. I reckon an SOS would go out to Dan Carter long before Jordie would be discussed as an option.
Given that he's 6'5" or so, I'm willing to bet that he'll spend less time as a designated All Black first five over his career than Luke McAlister did.

I can't help but smile reading this. What a sporting thrill!
"Truth be known, the reason we remember that moment so well was because a jubilant Mehrtens immediately turned to the Loftus crowd and flicked them a one-finger salute with both hands."
Sure it wasn't to Dingo not the crowd?
Wayne Smith was the coach in 1999
Right you are. To Wayne Smith then?
