Rolled the dice on picking something close to an NPC strength team to play in the heat and got burned.
Losing Havili early was big, though, apart from the long kick that went dead, McLeod went OK. That was a big turning point.
Good comeback at the end by the Cru and they should have burgled it, but poor drop from Noah was the ball game.

@Chris I hadn't seen that.
Thought the run-on team looked worryingly close to NPC-level with a few bolsters.
I reckon the final won't be played in ChCh this year.
The Crusaders have poor depth after their best 23, in contrast to Chiefs & Blues who at stages last season fielded 3rd string sides that looked as good on paper as their best sides.
I predicted last year that the Crusaders would lose up to 5 games this season, it's definitely gonna happen now.

Not really convinced about that.
Our third string cover should be something like:
Brewis, Bell, Jager, Strange, Havili, Dunshea, Hotham, McLeod, Stringer, Fihaki.
The early problem is that we have a few players who are irreplaceable - Jordan and Mo'unga (probably the two Super rugby MVPs) - and that we've lost few others in positions where we are a bit thin - Goodhue, Grace and this week the guys Chris notes above..

Yes, If you recall I was one of the most vocal on here about it.

What a match
Drua thoroughly deserved that victory

The game might have had a close finish but 20 minutes in, I couldn't watch the crap on display. There should have been Benny Hill music in the background. Are these professionals? FFS!
