@machpants 12 might be a bit too generous on the Hurricanes side of the scoreboard.

Jordie has got a good boot on him and the saders love the penalty

@stargazer great, the Crusaders are even stronger now. Could be a hiding if the Canes don’t sharpen up.

Could? Should

@canes4life Prinsep comes in, Flanders to the bench and Fifita looks like he’s been dropped. Good to see IWL in at lock.
As expected PUJ comes back into 13 aswell.

Kirifi had a shocker last week. Maybe he'll be calmer and less retarded starting the match
As did Blackwell. But the coaches like these high work rate players even if their attacking skills are limited. Or in Blackwell's case a liability

Look that way. The coaches love Prinsep so was always going to come back as a starter but he could ahve started at lock or been in the reserves
Surprised that Flander doesn't get another start
edit re stuff
Vaea Fifita will also miss Sunday’s game due to concussion.

Two loosehead props on the bench for the Canes.
But isn't Tevita seen as a tighthead now. With Rakete-stones as the other LH option
Not sure. I've only seen him at loosehead.
His brother plays tighthead.

@stargazer said in Crusaders v Hurricanes:
Don't agree with that change to the backrow at all.
Flanders had a much better game than Kirifi, and Savea is better at 7 than at 8. Prinsep ...They should have given Toala that 22 jersey.
Kirifi was pretty bad last week, not sure that's a great move to reward dumb penalties.
