@Chris Tom Tackle leader Christie deserves a rest☺️in the front row would be nice to Williams get a chance to show his wears, in midfield be cool if Jack's ready and if not I'm sure Ennor will be looking to make amends against the Rebels😅
I hear Goodhue,Whitelock and Sione Havilli are all back for this game.

I am hearing a few players getting a rest v Rebels.
More than I would have thought, a few other players getting a chance.
So how many Crusaders will make the Crusader 23?

Yep, I reckon could be part of using him now to save a bit for better teams?

You set em up, I'll knock them down

Fucking Ennor! What is the spell he casts that he has now pushed two players way better than him at centre, to other positions. Why don't coaches put him back on the wing where he's electric, or fucking try him at 12?

No one can resist Ennor, I mean look at the stud. I'd turn for that!

I don't like Ennor as a midfielder because he consistently gets physically dominated by his opposites. Most of NZ's Super Rugby midfielders are 100kg or over & Braydon is 92kg, Havili is 95kg, as a combination they got physically annihilated by Heem & Ioane last weekend (both are 103kg+). Wouldn't it be great to exchange both of them for any of the Blues, Chiefs or Hurricanes midfielders? We would be content with your scraps even..

@kiwi_expat he's light boned then! I'd be surprised if he is actually only 92. Either way, I just don't like him in the midfield because he's not a very good midfielder. All his best rugby has been on the wing, apart from the odd outside break he offers nothing at centre and has been outperformed there by.... well most other centres. He should be last resort not first pick (and then fitting everyone better at centre around him).
