Re: Waratahs vs Crusaders Match Thread

Well the Crusaders have lost NZ's best coach and the best play maker, so it stands to reason they will struggle.

I think this is it for the Crusaders for some time, I suspect they will just be another team this generation.

Great run though.....the rotten cvnts.
