      Gotta say this one is too tough to call, and I am just going to enjoy it as rugby spectacle.

      Crusaders tight 5 make them favourites. Getting All Blacks back is massive; their engine room is massive.

      According to the BluesCrusaders posters their whole team should be ABs anyway so it evens out. 😉

        considering the vast majority of the nation's starting All Blacks are playing, if this game lacks quality then we are fucked.

        Tho the weather looks a bit ordinary. Prefer an afternoon game in the sunshine.

            I didn't say otherwise. 🙂

                Gallagher is better than Strange wtf, and couldn't they go without Kellow and have 2 big bodies Strange & Gallagher on pine? because the Blues pack is significantly bigger & Christie will likely need to be subbed off again like in the last encounter.

                  TAB currently has the Blues as $1.80 favs...

                  Too close to call for me. Look forward to a great game and hope there's no major injuries.

                    @Mattasaurus Line is at 0.5 pts, so basically a draw.

                      that's basically it, isn't it. No injuries would be great - it'll be a cracking game anyway

                                        Yep, doing Mooloos quite a big disservice I think, Chiefs have 10, Crusaders 11, (Blues 13) and Chiefs have lots of potential future AB forwards such as Dyer, Norris, Thompson, McWhannell, even Ah Kauhoi, also Ratima/Roe in halves. Gideon Wrampling likely to be a future AB midfielder.

                                          @nzzp not true. I’ll never have Matera in my All Black side until they change the eligibility rules.

                                          I think the second half of your sentence fell off, but don't worry I added it back in.

                                          That’s just more hate from within. Sith.
