@SBW1 said in Crusaders v Force:
@Kirwan Blackadder not back yet. Would have been a good game to give Alex Harford a start as we are going to need a new 10 soon.
Blackadder due back but pulled up with a tight calf after the weeks workload,
One more week to make sure he is good to go.Kemara who is contracted will get a start before Harford.

I hope Noah Hotham can play well enough to take the bench spot for the bigger games.
With 5 games to go and sitting in 5th spot trying to semi get some home ground love for the finals, I’d say every game is big here on in. Hope he plays in all of them.

He will have to play in the next couple or be on the bench after this game,
Heinz with a calf injury will probably miss the next couple of games after this one.
Although the Crusaders were releasing Hotham ,Kemera and Springer for the world u/20s in June. -
Good to see Jordan get a start. Would be good to see Blackadder back to full fitness to.

Andrew Turner on the bench for the Saders. Don't recall that name before.

The commentators talk up everyone.
Aidan Morgan got called a 'great young 10' in the last game.

I hate that about commentators. A bit of honesty would be refreshing.

Early penalties conceded by the Saders. We have seen this before.

Yup its really noticeable with most of our commentators.... cheerleading more than analyzing

Finlay Brewis rule out again; Andrew Turner taking his spot on the bench.
A quick google tells me he's a prop out of the Bristol Bears' Academy. I think he's only played a few games for the senior side.
England u/20 player last season
