    Crusaders team to face the Chiefs:

    Tamaiti Williams
    (VC) Codie Taylor
    Fletcher Newell
    Scott Barrett
    Antonio Shalfoon
    (VC) Ethan Blackadder
    Tom Christie
    Christian Lio-Willie
    Noah Hotham
    Rivez Reihana
    Macca Springer
    (C) David Havili
    Braydon Ennor
    Sevu Reece
    (VC) Will Jordan

    Impact

    George Bell
    George Bower
    Seb Calder
    Jamie Hannah
    Cullen Grace
    Kyle Preston
    James O'Connor
    Dallas McLeod

    Good to see Fletch named to play, at least!

    Hopefully he will be good to go.
    Macca starting on the wing may open the door for more of a barrage of High contestable kicks.
    We will miss Fihaki's boot and skill under the high ball..

    Just having a look at the teams from last time these two met:

    Crusaders
    Blackadder in for Grace (Grace replaces Kellow on the bench).
    Springer in for Fihaki
    Bell in for Moananu

    Chiefs
    Taukei'aho and Mcallister swap starting/bench
    Finau replaces Parker - Boshier replaces Finau on the bench
    Tupou replaces Lord
    ENS replaces Wrampling

    So, the Chiefs look a bit weakened - but, we get back The Black Adder!!!

    Looks like a cunning plan by Rob!

        Hilarious fuss being made over the moomoo-zelas.

        The dangerous thing about them at a rugby game anywhere except Waiwhakamukau is that if you start banging one of the godawful things, several people will quite likely rightly smack you one.

          Went along with the Waikato crew to several super games in Sydney back in the early noughties and a couple of warriors games. Not one smack. Even got @gibbit's attention to come over and chat (Oscar was too cool or didn't want to smack anyone while working).

              But Crusaders fans stomp on those scaffold stands all game long, especially when opposing teams are taking kicks at goal!! Dangerous!!!

                  As someone who doesn't really care who wins, I love the small minded (Rassie level) pettiness being taken by the Saders boss and the inevitable small town hick overreaction by some of the more rabid Chiefs fans.

                  Hopefully the match is full of spite!!!

                            It’s a funny thing to take the piss.

                            Any fuckwits actually threatening people over it are a good example of what is wrong with NZ sport culture.

                              some form of fun in the crowd being banned for spurious reasons?

                              was this decision made by @Nepia ?

                              And does this mean he has jumped to his 3rd franchise? If so that bodes well for us, failure follows him.

                              Also, you know full darn well without me and Dave the Chiefs would still be also rans.

                                The banter on this thread as a result of the ban has been great fun. People that make death threats over something like this need to be put in a lab and studied, I can't really understand how they get to that point. I suspect their IQ would be substantially lower than the general population.

                                    @Chris there was a thing on tv1 earlier today about tennis players receiving abuse and threats via social media when they lost, almost half due to gambling, we know Barnes and other refs have received abuse too, sad world out there now for many in the public eye.

                                    Pretty sad making threats like that, but banning them seems a bit OTT to me....

                                    Yeah the world we live in is very different with precious people who get their feelings hurt way to easily and over react.

                                      @Chris there was a thing on tv1 earlier today about tennis players receiving abuse and threats via social media when they lost, almost half due to gambling, we know Barnes and other refs have received abuse too, sad world out there now for many in the public eye.

                                      Pretty sad making threats like that, but banning them seems a bit OTT to me....

                                      Yeah the world we live in is very different with precious people who get their feelings hurt way to easily and over react.

                                        Hilarious fuss being made over the moomoo-zelas.

                                        The dangerous thing about them at a rugby game anywhere except Waiwhakamukau is that if you start banging one of the godawful things, several people will quite likely rightly smack you one.

                                        But Crusaders fans stomp on those scaffold stands all game long, especially when opposing teams are taking kicks at goal!! Dangerous!!!

                                          To be fair, that’s not something Crusaders fans are very good at
