Wow that's not good ,Aumua probably wants out I'm hearing
The way he's played this year after all the hype, I think the feeling will be mutual
Ennor back next season and young Toby Bell getting close would not be a major worry if Amua wants out, He has been a major problem in the defensive line this season,
But I am not hearing he does want out. -

@Chris no offence but Toby Bell is along way away from super level, is he NPC this season

He should be although Ennor is back for NPC so game time may be a problem Bell has been impressive since being in the Crusaders enviroment.

@Duluth So that extended run for Havili at 10 came to a sudden halt.

Yeah, Razor wants to see him at 12 now. That's what I am hearing anyway.

Yeah. Maybe it would’ve continued if they had enough fit midfielders?

This game is almost on the 20th anniversary of the 2004 final (that was the 22nd of May). Ben Blair played well.

To bring Tamaiti Williams back and straight into the starting line up in a NZ derby when he hasn’t played any rugby since week 1 is terrible management in itself. Hes then pulled before half time, It makes no sense and sets Williams up to fail. You could tell he was well off it in regards to fitness.
I suppose that’s a theme from Penney this season though, he started Halfpenny after being out all season, has a shocker then pulls him early and he’s not in the matchday 23 the following week
very strange to see at super rugby level. -

very strange to see at super rugby level.Because Halfpenny had a calf injury he injured at the end of that game, pretty hard to select him the next week running on one leg

@Chris yeah all good should just take his time, he looked out of sorts last week, family first hey

Soooo does anyone give the Crusaders a chance this week? The Drua lose and the Crusaders win and somehow they're in the playoffs haha.

A chance? THere's always a starters chance, like the beat the Chiefs. But I see them losing and Drua winning

I was going to pick the Crusaders until I saw the team named. I was expecting Barrett & Blackadder because all the chat had been that those injuries were minor. It'll be tough with so many new combinations. Maybe a 20% chance?
Reds could easily beat the Drua in Fiji though. Lots of travel and Drua's away form was poor. That would be enough to keep the Crusaders alive
