Bridge ahead of both LF and Ennor :man_facepalming_dark_skin_tone:
I actually think its the right call. LF has really slipped back in recent weeks, especially in terms of workfare, and ennor has also never kicked on. For mine, its the strongest crusaders team, but weaker than previous seasons.

@Crazy-Horse Still better than Klein.
Makes me pretty happy we have locked in George Bell he looks like a player of the future
Young pack starting to Form with Bell,Williams,Newell,Gallagher locked in.
Kellow as well.Gardner I am not sure about yet.@Chris said in Brumbies v Crusaders:

@FakatavaFuture I think the other thing is Leicesters form seems to have dropped, teams have shut him down and his speed or lack of when having to turn and chase being exposed, so Bridge is (shudder
) a better option being more rounded...Good to see Hallam-Eames get another shot too.

I suspect it's mainly giving Leicester a bit of a break. Most of the others have had a game off in recent weeks.
From what I've seen, last week was the first game of the season where George offered any sort of offensive threat - and I'm pretty sure that won't have been lost on either Razor or Fozzie.
I see him still being mentioned in dispatches, but I'll be pretty surprised if he's near the ABs this year.

@Chris-B It can't be a coincidence that ever since Bridgey made the AB's.. the Canterbury provincial side have nearly fallen off a cliff without him , so for all that is good in Larry the lamb i hope George can do his upmost can to help Canterbury restore Their identity later this yr.

Bridge starting is obviously a tactical selection to help combat White's as Razor says Helium bombs.
The Brumbies every other game have Subbed White for Lonergan around the 50 min mark so then that threat is dissipated.
Bring LF on against tired defences with their subs on hopefully creates a big impact.
Ennor as well his extra pace adds to the impact in the last 30 min.
Yes Ennor is quick his track times in Athletics shows that, IMO he should be on the wing were he has more space to use it.This will be interesting to see how Razor and the coaches will try to breakdown the Brumbies games and combat their strengths, and if it works.

Yeah my post was full of irony, he's been poor full stop - hesitant to get there and inaccurate when he does. Doesn't force himself onto the high ball like others

I suppose being one of the more maligned ABs in recent times would affect your confidence somewhat.

Australasia's two best head coaches to battle it out.... but who will come out on top?

It's probably going to rain during the game, the ground will definitely be wet. Not playing in your own half will be important. Bombs galore.

At centre.
He's an excellent winger.

Excellent is stretching it. “Very good” would be my call up to now.

Ho wait, possibly a booboo....Havili is covering first five? You know you wanna head south fella...

It's a change in policy quite late in the season. I guess that means Robertson doesn't rate how his backup 10's have gone
In every game this year the Crusaders have had a specialist 10 on the bench. Both Hickey and Burke have started matches at 10. Havili has not had a start at 10 and has not covered 10 all year

It maybe also be Razor is trying to fit Jordan,Reece,Havilli,Ennor,Bridge,LF,Goodhue all into the 23 if Burke is in that 23 one of those miss out.

Fucken Stan should have had a trauma warning before replaying that Mortlock intercept in 03.
