Who would have thought that having 4 NZ refs would result in one-sided reffereeing? Its unfortunate that it takes away from the incredible line-speed by the crusaders.

Count me in JACKO

He has a (likely) season-ending knee/leg injury unfortunately.

Just to add on to this question, does anyone have any updates on their 10 that suffered that horiffic injury last weekend?

Please no more of this Downlands rubbish.

I don't think you've seen Elijah Breen play. His kicking ability is like no other in the comp. Hes going into his 3rd season of first XV footy, without being injured once, proving his reliability in that BGS team. Also, I'm pretty sure Hemi has played wing in the trial matches so far.

For me, it has to be that GT 5peat team ('77, '78, '79, '80, '81). Notably, in 1981, the Captain was Michael Lynagh, and coach was Michael Broad, not to mention countless other professional players.

The BGS front row has had a major upgrade from what I've read on this forum. I'm keen to see how they go against BBC's Ryan Tattum this weekend.

Seth Kennedy from BGS is undoubtably the fastest in the comp, but Vesi Luva and Tai from BBC, and 'Grimace' from NC are also up there.

I think they've been underrated on many of the ladder predictions, they have an extremely strong forward pack.

I don't believe so, but their performance in the upcoming Ballymore Cup can give a good insight

The BGS 2s looked very lost without him against IGS

Year 10 I believe

great take

it is rumoured that Jacob Johnson has been in contact with the cowboys
