          Particularly if it’s just Bell. That’s already been mentioned in the media

            I am talking about Bell and Whitelock.
            Just to add I understand there are some players bracketed until tomorrows press release, touch and go for a couple of players.

                    So far the poll is at:
                    58% Chiefs
                    42% Crusaders

                    TAB has it even

                    If they follow the usual schedule teams should be named in 15mins

                                Bell v Thomspon in the 2nd half. Two possible future ABs against each other.

                                  Has George Bell played at all this season? Was a powerhouse for the Under 20s last season and when he got on particularly against the Force in Perth last year.
