So with a round to go we finally get to see the backline I've been calling for all year. Thanks Toddy [emoji3]

<p>To be fair to Toddy with injuries and suspensions this would be his first oppurtunity to field this back line wouldn't it?</p>

<p>He could have shifted Crotty to 13 (with Havili at 12), and Fonotia to the bench ages ago ... I think that was ACT Crusader's main issue with selections this year, am I right?</p> -
Yeah I've been calling for Havili/Crotty for some time. There have been opportunities to do that over the course of the season. <br><br>
Fonotia has improved this season though, but I do like Havili's ball running from 12 and Crotty's running lines and defence at 13. <br><br><br>

<p>jeepers, just tuned in and in the 10th minute the Crusaders stroll in for thier 3rd</p>

Love the way Crotty kept changing what hand he was holding the ball in so he was able to use his fend effectively for that try. It's rugby 101 but too many players don't do it.

Going to the same script as last night
-
<p>Things not looking good for the Rabble down 21 - 0 after 11 minutes.</p>
-
Just turn it on and it's 28-0 already after 14 minutes.<br><br>
Oh well, thank fuck the stupid 6 point try isn't with us yet. -
A ball is going to get burnt to a crisp tonight when knocking simple conversions over the posts. Not the most sensible positioning of those flame throwers.
