@tim said in Crusaders v Hurricanes:
Anyone worry that Barrett's height might be a defensive disadvantage at 12?
Dunno perhaps ask Josh Ioane how his rubs are, and how high they are.
But naa mate tackling at 12 is same as tackling at 15 in being able to lower height. -

Good to see Barrett get another crack at 12. Say what you like about Holland but he's the first coach to select Barrett in what I believe is his best position since he debuted in the NPC for Canterbury. I've been suggesting this for years.
I wouldn't give Holland credit in this regard. He has put Jordie there as about 7th or 8th attempt from his squad. FFS he even played Julian Savea there before him.

Reckon it's much more about J.Barrett wanting to play at 12, rather than Holland wanting him to play there.

Anyone know when Dane Coles will be back?
@wreck-diver
He is not in the Poneke lineup for today so might still be carrying an injury. If I see him watching his guys at Hataitai Park I will see what I can find out for you. -

Pretty sure there was an AB XV rolled out at some stage last year that wasn’t much different

Take away 3, 5, 6 and 9 and it’s 2002 again

Thats a shame I was looking forward to seeing Blackadder at 7. It's probably his best position at Test level

Not sure Pickerall is ever an improvement.
Booth should have probably kicked from the base there.
