    @Chris Best backline in the competition (with Jordan also on the bench), but - apart from the ABs - a very average forward pack, esp backrow.

    Big day for both Grace and Sione Havili.

    @Stargazer yep big opportunity for Grace and Havili to make a name for themselves.
    Some of the newer players need to stand up in that pack.
    Dunshea and Sanders have been average so far.
    Bower has made little impact off the Bench.
    Could be a tough season if more players don’t come to play in that Forward Park.

      Decent pack, that could do some damage.

        If you are going back into the archives (which you have to with the Blues 😉 ) then a good old Rupeni hat-trick against the inbreds is worth a look.

        The crazy thing about Caucau was just how he used to run into and out of tackles as though no-one was there. Hardly even a shift in posture or anything.

          @Crucial that diving effort from Marshall 😆

          Caucau was something special, while I think it was best he played for Fiji, you do wonder what could have been if he had ended up playing for the ABs instead of his sporadic and troubled career with Fiji.

            You have to wonder what sort of mental state he is in? He is in his prime and could arguably one of the our best players earning top top dollar but instead he is fat and can't even make the Blues team. That is pretty sad.

            I hope there is a better back story to this

                  Cullen Grace, Tom Christie, Tom Sanders

                  When was the last time the Crusaders backrow was this inexperienced? Sanders has a few SR caps but a lot are from the bench

                    @Duluth Yep. Grace is 20 and Christie 21 years old. Puppies.

                    Three experienced loosies in the injury ward (and a lock, which explains why they can't move Barrett to 6).

                        The halfback in the team photo definitely has his.
