Backline definitely looked slicker, passes were going in front of the receiver so no having to stop or reach behind, almost the Crusaders of days past. Didn’t miss Richie at all or Havili for that matter. Discipline a lot better too.
Crusaders always look better without paper bag Havili in the midfield. Goodhue offers a direct running gain-line making physical presence at 12 that Havili does not. Jack's simply a bigger body and brings a lot more defensive assurance as well.

Which genius in Christchurch rubber stamped using red illuminations on the posts to signify a successful kick at goal?

You'd have to think Billy Harmon would be the next cab off the rank if Paps or Cane went down and the ABs were looking for a specialist 7 (suspect they'd use Blackadder there though). On SR form I'd even rank Billy Harmon above Sam Cane since he came back.
Can't really read too much into that game. Drua didn't really test the Crusaders but the "young guns" did well. LF is a machine on the wing. He is another loose forward at the breakdown, defense is good, positioning good, and has all the skills (despite a really wobbly kick). -

Did anyone notice there was some guy called Blacklock playing for the Crusaders at about the 50 min mark?
Easily done, we had two main formation callsigns at 43(F), blacksmith & gamecock. Always embarrassing when you called yourself blackcock on the radio!
