Crusaders v Fijian Drua
-
@Stargazer Dog Roll at 6, Jack as vice Captain! I thought they would include Kini on the bench but seeing as tho it's their first home game in ages it makes sense to reward the crowd with a superstar like George Bridge
-
Kaliopasi Uluilakepa, Zuriel Togiatama, Samuela Tawake, Isoa Nasilasila, Ratu Rotuisolia, Joseva Tamani, Mesulame Dolokoto, Nemani Nagusa (c), Peni Matawalu, Caleb Muntz, Vinaya Habosi, Teti Tela, Kalaveti Ravouvou, Selestino Ravutaumada, Kitione Taliga
Reserves: Tevita Ikanivere, Haereiti Hetet, Manasa Saulo, Chris Minimbi, Raikabula Momoedonu, Leone Nawai, Ilaisa Droasese, Tuidraki Samusamuvodre

Momoedonu
I think this will be his first outing this year...apparently highly rated, but I haven't been overly impressed with what I saw at npc level last year, so will be interesting to see iow he goes if he gets on.

There are a few players in that 23 who make me nervous. If the Drua get in one of their moods I am not sure how some of those Crusader players will cope.
What players make you nervous
Burke,Finaki.Klein and JacksonThe rest are ok, Brewis played well against the Brumbies when he came on

Add Hickey to that list and you pretty much nailed it. Not saying the Saders will lose but with two hookers and two 10s who haven't looked like they belong at Super level I will worry if the pressure comes on.
Then there is Fihaki. Still waiting for him to do anything to suggest he belongs as well.
-
@Crazy-Horse I want Fihaki to do well, he's Canterbury's favorite son after all! unfortunately when he's played for the Crusaders such as against the chiefs he's looked very green, is green the right term? idk

Yeah I agree they all worry me too especially if Dura get on one of their roles they are hard to stop.
We could do with a bounus point to help secure 2nd. -

no way was he supporting his own weight
-
That shouldn't be a try - Christie propelled himself forward off the ground.

I agree. It was more than just reaching out.
-
is interesting that on attack (broken play) Goodhue is often out on the wing.
-
The number of offside penalties from NZ teams is alarming ..
