Should every one automatically know what a FR and a SW is? Out are you being deliberately cryptic?

Yesterday the paper said Ben Mac was out because of the cut to his head today it's a groin injury.......

One has to imagine that Michael Foley hopes the Honey Badger doesn't take the kicking duties again this week.

His clearance kick against the Lions is worthy of a Rugby HQ top 5.

Stop the poaching already,

This is becoming worse than the Kiwis, all this stealing people from across the oceans.

Quite a few changes for the Force. I Like Stander coming in. He will be super excited and bring enthusiasm and physicality to the contest. I like the looks of this backrow for the Force. New centre pairing with CTM to 12 and Dellit coming into 13. CTM gets a chance as a more attacking weapon, Dellit well he just needs to show he has something left in the tank or he's gone.

Oh deary deary me Dellit, we are in for a long night.

However I like the inclusion of Dillyn Leyds on the bench. Look him up on youtube, Extreme talent

This ain't 11pm at a set of traffic lights in Jo-burg..no ones holding a gun to their heads.
Have you driven down George street in Sydney 1am on a weekend lately?

You could get killed by a drunk chick falling off her stilettos and impaling you with her alcopop through the windshield.

The whole world is becoming a more dangerous place. :)

would have preffered to switch jayden to 12, ctm to 13 and bring in holmes to fullback.


Why not Holmes to 12 and CTM to 13. That keeps Dellit out of the starting 15, and causes the minimum possible disruption as CTM plays where he has been playing.

I think the Force are looking at this game with an eye to competing but being realistic that a win may be a long shot. Get to the test window break and then bring back Alby, Morahan, Alcock and possibly MMM refreshed and ready to push like hell to make the finals.

Force have the forwards to compete and will look to lock this game down with solid defence. Nadolo shapes as a threat for the Saders, but expect the Force to pressure Slade and Ellis to slow down clean ball.

I thought Alcock and MMM were out for the season? Rehab moving their recovery time along nicely

CRUSADERS: Israel Dagg, Johnny McNicholl, Tom Taylor, Ryan Crotty, Nemani Nadolo, Colin Slade, Andy Ellis, Kieran Read (c), Richie McCaw, Jordan Taufua, Sam Whitelock, Dominic Bird, Nepo Laulala, Ben Funnell, Tim Perry. Reserves: Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett, Owen Franks, Jimmy Tupou, Luke Whitelock, Willi Heinz, Adam Whitelock, Nafi Tuitavake.

Read straight back into it & same starting FR as last week. Surprised SW is starting, thought Shag would've wanted him to have a break ahead of the Tests.

What influence does Hansen have over the Super franchises to dictate where and how long players play?
