    Surprised they have put macilai on the bench, been looking dangerous and this would be the perfect game to give him a real shot of confidence

    <p>Player most under pressure to perform: Romano.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Barrett & Tupou have looked good so far, and there's no dropping Whitelock.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I hope Crotty goes OK if he gets a chance.  I'm not fussed whether he actually turns out to be starting player for NZ, but it would be good for Hansen to have options at this stage.</p>

    It will be interesting how that loose trio goes together. <br><br>
    Hopefully we get a good 20-25 with a Crotty and Havili midfield.

    <p>No, being rested. Same applies to Joe Moody, Codie Taylor and Andy Ellis. I read somewhere that they want to be sure to keep some key players injury free for their  South Africa trip, which starts next week. Also to give some game time/starts to others.</p>

    Mehrtens just talked up the Kings as being respected in South Africa. Who's he trying to fool?<br><br>
    Crusaders by 50, minimum.

    30 then. Either way it's not going to be "tough" and they're not "respected.<br><br>
    Last years Western Province U21 team could beat them.

    Crusaders strike right back through Nadolo. Some really good offloads there.<br><br>
    7-12 after 15.

    Great try by Crusaders. <br><br>
    Kings are really weak through the midfield (and great work by Havili and Fonotia there)<br><br>
    This will get ugly.<br><br>
    19-10 after 23.

    Kings are dropping like flies. Looks like the 3rd end-of-game injury here.

    Well, not that everyone wouldn't have expected. Hope fantasy players put Nadolo in your teams :)<br><br>
    Fonotia concedes a penalty and kings go for goal? Wtf? <br><br>
    No good.

    Havili kicks for goal from a million miles out to end the half, and just misses.<br><br>
    29-10.

    <p>That Kings left wing makes Nadolo look small...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'd say he'd have to drop down to about U14s before he'd have a chance of being the biggest player on the pitch.  Looks like he'd tip the scales at about 60kg, and wouldn't be out of place in the Kenyan long distance running team.</p>

    Ugh. Getting very ugly now. Like a training run.<br><br>
    Great skills, but games like this really help to remind us of the defensive skill of most teams.<br><br>
    43-10.

    Googled "cabbage maths" and Justin Marshall was 5th result. That proves it.

    <p>Remind me, what is the point of the Kings?  Heartland championship would seem a more appropriate competition.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>3 consecutive games leaking a half-century.</p>
