Crusaders v Waratahs

[Duluth]

Tahs recent record against the Crusaders is not as bad as I thought it would be:
Tahs v Crusaders 2019-2024

3 Crusaders wins, 2 Tahs in the last five years

Penney was the coach for one of them too

[Duluth]

@Chris Have you heard anything about the 23?

Not the whole 23 as yet
Kemera starting
Newell in the 23 starting I think
No decision on Havilli he is a bit underdone
Maybe on the bench at best.

@Chris

Cheers

Who would be the reserve 10 if Havili isn’t ready? Robinson, Hawkins, am I forgetting someone?

Probably Hawkins apart from Robinson, Blair Murray has played at First Five
No other options really.

Throw your B team out, Saders.

Wait for the Tahs to implode.

Win the game.

Robinson was one of the extras for the Chiefs game.

I hope they give Robinson the bench spot over Hawkins if needed it depends on Havilli,

[Chris]

Now hearing Havilli will start and cover First five.
McLeod to cover MF and wing.

Bell vs Newell should be interesting in terms of AB perspective.

[Duluth]

Simple

Going to be a long night for the Tahs if they keep defending like that

[Bones]

Springer really reminds me of Howlett

Looks-wise? Or because he finishes off tries without having to do too much work?

[Canes4life]

Saders lucky not to get carded there.

Levi has not had the best start in red tbh. Not sure he was the best trade.

He is a big unit.

Lol Saders pretty much did the same thing down the other end. Inconsistent reffing at its best.
