On what basis?

Auckland mafia strikes again.

"Nice tin pot rec ground youse have got. Be a shame if it had to be permanent"

The Player was informed of his ability to apply for the Head Contact Process Coaching Intervention. Any player who has a citing or red card upheld by a disciplinary panel for foul play involving the Head Contact Process may apply to have the final week of their sanction substituted by undertaking a coaching intervention that specifically addresses the technical tackle/contact technique-error that caused or contributed to the foul play. This intervention will be overseen by the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Expert Review Panel – a panel of expert independent coaches.

So we getting to see how Solomona goes as a starter. I interested to see thet, as well as how RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) goes coming back from injury.
For Canes I pleased to see Walker Leawere back starting, as we need his size I think. I a bit surprised about Rayasi, but got fingers crossed he plays one of hos good games. I taking it if he struggles, Solomona will go to wing and PUJ to 13.

So... Crusaders or Blues?
Sully, listen mate I will give you my defintive answer on Saturday morning. I think Blues for and hour or 2 then go, bloody Crusaders will have something up their sleeve. Think I have flipped 2-3 times this week.
If Blues forward can get going as well as they capable of, I reckon they could well do it. Backlines are prttye even, but if it tight I quite like BB's ability to play test like rugby. By same token, if RM gets a bit of room...... and a lot of that will be how Havili goes as I reckon in NZ rugby this year particularly Crusaders, it's tended to be 12 that takes ball of 9 from set play. Perofeta will also be important for Blues for same reason.

Blues need to go full boom chakalaka Onehunga Mall ram raid for this opening 10 mins, just like they did against the Highlanders. If the Crusaders can noodle out the yellow card without conceding anything more than a penalty, or, heaven forbid, score a try, then funny and unpleasant things might happen.
