        @Chris Geezus, more changes, now with an U20 hooker on the bench. Just when you thought the team couldn't get any weaker, it does!

        Here's the media release:

        George Bell set to debut for the Crusaders in Perth

                    I rate George Bell he is better than Klein and potentially McAlister it maybe a step up.

                        Yep George Bell has been in the Crusaders academy for the last 2 years, he came up straight after school.I rate him he is a decent prospect.

                          Yes, he was very good in last year's Super Rugby U20.

                              Don't in anyway get me wrong, I don't consider them underdogs or even likely to lose. I just saying quite often we (well me anyway) have looked at Crusaders and thought, geez that is almost an unbeatable team at this level, I not sure the team named for this weekend make me think same thing.

                                From Whitelock out they're all internationals aside from FABLF and in the pack they have FABZG and FABTW (fatties are apparently allowed now).

                                  Only two current ABs in that pack.

                                    Yep mate but I think we all suspect a few maybe ABs that weren't really frontliners?

                                      Western Force have always been a bit of a bogey team for the Crusaders esp. in Perth, haven't they?
                                      On the positives, through Zach Gallagher, Newell and Tamati Williams you can see the next generation coming through. Cullen is coming right in spurts and Blackadder will just get better. Got to admit though, it really seems a transition period of sorts at the moment. On a positive note, RM will get more experience with a less dominant pack....

                                        Yes. Crusaders have 3 wins, 2 losses and a draw in Perth

                                        Last game there was 2016 and the Crusaders only won 20-19

                                          Should be Crusaders by plenty this time though

                                          Tab is offering an 18.5 point head start. That sounds about right (assuming no red cards or refs having a shocker)

                                            @Duluth typically the Crusaders hit Perth as the final stop on the way home from the Republic, which would play its part in thier performances.
