Blues v Crusaders

[mariner4life]

you are a child

[Bovidae]

I'm looking forward to the scrum battle and expect the Blues to attack one of the Crusaders' traditional strengths.

@mariner4life my wife knows that already, what's your point?

[booboo]

I was wanting to see the conversion ...

[Bones]

@booboo love how confused everyone around Los was though.

[mariner4life]

Still probably the best try I have ever seen

[taniwharugby]

so good...the audacity to pass in front of the posts to spark it, the break by Rok, the lines by Gus & Howlett to keep options alive and then 'los to finish, so much to like about that...then the absolute cheek of the finish.

[Crucial]

If you are going back into the archives (which you have to with the Blues ) then a good old Rupeni hat-trick against the inbreds is worth a look.

[Bovidae]

The look on O'Brien's face says it all.

[KiwiMurph]

@Crucial the same game as the Carlos try.

@Crucial Made a fool of Mauger twice.

[nzzp]

@Tim wow no Akira!

Decent pack, that could do some damage.

[KiwiMurph]

Pleased to see no more propping injuries.

Ruru did well in the wet last week but I fear will struggle in the dry in a NZ derby. Ditto Hyland (though I imagine defensively they trust him more to start in this clash which I can understand).

Akira has work to do to just make the 23.

Assistant Ref 1:Brendon Pickerill
Assistant Ref 2:Angus Mabey

James Parsons is starting again, you guys are done.

[Duluth]

Very surprised Robinson isn't starting.

I guess they are still spooked by the poor final quarter vs the Chiefs. So keeping one of the better players held back

Parsons is a good honest trier. The issue has been that he's been asked to be a No 1 hooker, and he's just not. He's a great squad guy, and a fantastic bloke by all accounts. Really, the crime has been that we can't find, recruit or develop another 2.

Is Ray Niuia gone for the season?
