    The only place i give the saders the advantage is in the tight 5.

    The Blues should have an advantage in the scrum once the props are replaced.

    I think that's the plan for Akira as well, they want to finish strong.

    Why are they starting with Choat ahead of Akira?

    Suafoa has been one of the Blues best this year and he's also on the bench. Lay has been going better than Renata. They seem to be putting an emphasis on how the pack finishes the match.

      Huge game for Sotutu, could throw a marker down as the best loose forward in the country.

        Do you not think Jordan is a factor, or home advantage?

        He's no R. Ioane, or even Caleb Clarke, I've been told.

        Please look up what "on par with" means. It'll help future conversations.

          Yeah, Suafoa has been huge for us this year and with Lay being on the bench as well, it's clear what the strategy is.

            Because Choat is better with a higher workrate?

            @Jailbreak7 it's more a tactical decision than one being better than the other as they are completely different styles of players.

            I'd expect Akira to come on at around the 50 minute mark.

              @African-Monkey Keep expecting Akira to hit the turbo button, hoping we will see a head-turning performance from him to give Fozzie something to think about.

                Did you see him last week, seemed to have ignored the turbo and just gone full V8 power.

                    Holy smokes! So much for the lack of interest in Super rugby. The Chiefs game and now this sell out. Hope the crowd give the latte drinkers a good old-fashioned ear shellacking (without the inbred boorish shit that sometimes goes on...).

                      Tell me you are over 40 without saying you are over 40.

                      Should be a great game, awesome it’s sold out.

                          Crusaders have won 16 of the last 17 games between these two.

                          But somehow Blues should be favourites.......

                              Patrick Tuipulotu with a couple of excellent tackles early on.

                                        Is Nic Berry aware we're trying to speed up the fucking game. Why is he delaying a lineout for a prop?

                                          Massive hold up in play because a prop has a sore ankle. I thought we'd moved on from holding up the game if the player wasn't needed.
