Crusaders v Rebels
-
From the Crusaders media release:
BNZ Crusaders Vice-Captain Ryan Crotty is set to bring up his 150th Investec Super Rugby game this weekend, as the side prepares for their final home game of the regular season against the Rebels. The West Stand at Christchurch Stadium has been renamed the 'Ryan Crotty Stand' for this match, and members of Ryan's New Brighton Rugby Club and former school, Shirley Boys' High School, have been invited to attend. There are just two changes to the team this week, with Vice-Captain Matt Todd returning to the starting side in place of Billy Harmon, and Bryn Hall, in his 50th Crusaders game, also moving to the starting line up. Ereatara Enari will provide cover at halfback. It's also a welcome return to play for prop Tim Perry, who makes his Super Rugby return following a lengthy arm injury. Perry has been named in the No. 17 jersey. -
The whole temporarily renaming stadiums and stands thing is already getting cringe worthy and its only happened a handful of times but mostly recently. A one off and unique event such as Wyatt's 200th game, sure. But since then it's been done in netball and now a stand for Crotty which a) seems kitsch and b) seems a bit of a token gesture as well. I mean a single stand, in our dump of a stadium? And I think the West Stand is the open one behind the posts as well. Wow.

I am fucked if i would sit in a Ryan Crotty stand. The fucking thing would break just before half time.

It's quite funny how some of you blokes constantly talk about Crotty breaking all the time and then look at the stats to find out that he has played 12 games this season, which is only one game less than Laumape, Ennor and Proctor; two games less than Faiane; and the same number as ALB and Nonu.
I hope I haven't jinxed him now ...

Yeah - we should f***g throw that game against the Rebels, just to be sure!
What are the odds that the Canes can pick up 10 competition points?
