    <p>Oh God I can't believe how highly rated Patrick Osbourne is. Nothing against the guy but I hope he gets nowhere near a test jersey.</p>

      <p>Devlin is a wendyball fan and is so wrapped up in being able to have his silly fan v fan digs based on a game being played on the other side of the world that he probably only takes a glance at rugby in NZ.</p>

        <p>On CGW Breakfast they were giving Mulls a hard time about his team being click bait in the realms of Twatson, Twattue and Treason.</p>

          <p>The search for the new Crusaders head coach begins ..<br>

          <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">News</span></span><br><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>BNZ Crusaders to commence coach appointment process </strong></span></span><br><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Published: 15 April 2016 </span></span><br>
           <br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The BNZ Crusaders are commencing the process to appoint a new Head Coach.  The organisation is looking for a new Head Coach to replace Todd Blackadder, who is leaving at the end of the 2016 season after eight years in charge of the team.</span></span><br>
           <br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">BNZ Crusaders CEO Hamish Riach said the Board had this week agreed to commence the appointment process immediately.</span></span><br>
           <br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“While we originally signaled that we would wait until the end of the 2016 Super Rugby season to start the process, it has been agreed between myself and the Board that it would be advantageous to open the application process now,” Mr Riach said.</span></span><br>
           <br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“It has always been our intention to keep this process from becoming a distraction to the 2016 campaign, and after discussions with the current coaching and management team we feel assured that we can manage that risk, while also being able to better plan for the 2017 season if we bring this appointment process forward.”</span></span><br>
           <br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Crusaders Chairman Grant Jarrold said: “We want to allow the best opportunity for the best applicants to put themselves forward for this job, and we are also mindful of creating as much certainty as possible for those currently involved with the team.</span></span><br>
           <br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“We are excited to announce that an open and contestable process to appoint our next BNZ Crusaders Head Coach will begin immediately,” Mr Jarrold said.</span></span><br>

            <p>That must be pretty disappointing to go 8 years without any silverware.</p>

                <p>Waiting until the end of the season to start looking for a new coach is some Blues level stupidity. Good idea to ditch that but they should've done it a while ago and been well into the process by this point, to give the new coach as much time possible to build his squad.</p>

                    <p>Nepia, you and I, for our own self interest of course, would certainly accept it with open arms should Israel Dagg not be included in the All Black sides this season. Assuming that he is already signed up for the Mitre10 Cup.</p>

                                1. Devlin. On the wind up I reckon.<br><br>
                                2. Sunwolves. Happened to a semifinalist the week before the semi finals a few years back ...

                                  And didn't the Reds ship 90 a few years back?

                                    92-3. 2007.<br><br>
                                    So the Sunwolves miss the record for most points conceded AND biggest losing margin.

                                      Shipping 90 points to the Crusaderblacks is one thing, shipping 90 points to the Cheetahs is quite another. Very ominous signs.

                                        <p>Picking up Sergeal Petersen for my fantasy team this week went better than expected.</p>
                                        <p> </p>
                                        <p>Unfortunately, I think the Sunwolves go without a win this season. I think their best chances to get a win have all passed.</p>
