Crusaders will be announced soon. I'm picking Perry, Franks, Crotty and Havili to come back in. Forecast is showery for the garden of eden on Saturday I think the crusaders will gladly take that and keep it tight.

It really just sounded like Hoiles saying "cheat better" was the answer... I think the only decent opinion on that show was Drew Mitchell who suggested... how about we actually get better at playing rugby..

JPNZ

I recorded Kick and Chase to watch with popcorn last night... Of course its biased and nobody actually watches it in Australia but god it was funny. You can actually tell the streak is deeply affecting Australian rugby. The absolute best part was listening to Steven Hoiles

This was quoted back in September 2017 "Stepping back from the Crusaders assistant backs coach's role was certainly not an easy decision to make," MacDonald stated. "However, the family's preference is to be living back home in Blenheim, so that is absolutely where I need to be." I find this very st...

Yes.

Goodhue with an obvious tip tackle.

TMO silent.

Very poor.

Wasn’t over horizontal

Saders to score here

To win a game of rugby you need to hold onto the ball. I’ve never seen a Crusaders side outplayed so easily

JPNZ

I'd be happy with a bonus point win too. For the record, I think it was 96-19 back in 2002. 16 Years to the day today (11th May). Here is a couple of articles that have appeared to mark the occasion.. Live blog of Youtube viewing of the game updated 2018 https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/articl...

Its going to be interesting what sort of crowd this fixture can pull with all the talk of "the warriors crowds" in Auckland recently

JPNZ

I believe the Highlanders only landed in Dunedin late on Tuesday afternoon. Only 3 days of prep and the Lions having been here all week. This will be a Season defining test for the Highlanders

JPNZ

Managed to secure myself a couple of hospitality box tickets through work. Looking forward to it as the forecast is for rain overnight Friday clearing by kickoff. Temperature round 7 to 8c

Aaron Smith out for AB's rest.. Its tough for Mauger as B Smith and L Whielock need to have two weeks off each before June window and A Smith needs at least one more week after this one. Highlanders: Ben Smith (co-captain), Waisake Naholo, Rob Thompson, Tei Walden, Tevita Nabura, Lima Sopoaga, Kayne...

Crotty and Barrett resign with the Crusaders. Crotty has signed on till 2019 (one year extension) and Scott Barrett has signed on to 2020. Really happy to read that (below press release) as I believe Scott was being chased hard by the Hurricanes. Also some fairly solid rumours of the Crusaders chasi...

Confirmation this morning that Sam Cane is not making the South Africa Journey due to the abdominal injury which forced him to miss the Jaguares game. He was only going to be available for the stormers game anyway as the AB's need to be back in NZ for the training camp on May 20th.

More bad news for the blues as Bryn Gatland has signed for the Highlanders next year (replacing Sopoaga) How is losing our 4th string 10 bad news? He's fallen behind Kirkpatrick in the pecking order... Black will be back next season as well. Gatland is no loss - because he's not very good. Admitted...

Joe Moody could be named on the bench. "All Blacks loosehead prop Moody grafted through 60 minutes for his club Lincoln against Ohoka on Saturday afternoon, and would have been thankful to emerge unscathed from a rugby match for the first time in almost nine months. This news will be well received b...

5.15pm kickoff is a good choice, will start in the setting afternoon sun. Has been a nice dry week in Christchurch this past week with 18c to 20c highs. Forecast is dry all next week too so hopefully it stays true to Saturday. I am expecting nothing less than 5 points from this fixture. Crusaders fi...

Australian Rugby is fuckin atrocious

I honestly think the blues will get up for this. NZ streak hopes hanging on it

It’s been a very tedious watch from a neutral POV

"The return of Mo'unga, who made his All Blacks debut as a substitute against a French XV in Lyon last November, will be welcomed the national selectors. With Lima Sopoaga declaring he will join English club Wasps after the Highlanders season and only likely to be called in an emergency, Mo'unga wil...

With Mo'unga and Goodhue to start, and the best backline the crusaders have available since round 2. I think we are going to see a lot of tries, forecast looks good too.

Saw it last night. Midnight screening, in bed by 3:30AM, in work for 7:30AM. Worth it...pretty damn epic. Probably one of the better ones out of the lot. Agreed, just got home from a 9.30pm screening. Amazing movie and really dark, good to see the happily ever after doesn't always happen thus being...

From todays www.stuff.co.nz article "Meanwhile, assistant backs coach Ronan O'Gara said first five-eighth Richie Mo'unga may be asked to hold off his comeback for another week.
