And now onto Ballymore this Friday night against the Crusaders....

It will be interesting to see if squad sizes are as large as they were last weekend and which of the top line Reds will be back. Hopefully we get to see Chambers and Braid in action along with most of the Wallabies.

I hope we see Ant Fainga'a and Ben Tapuai tried at 12 again, and I think Ben Lucas deserves another crack at 10. I wonder whether Dayna Edwards and Albert Anae will get a run in the forwards?

Beers at Ballymore on Friday...bring it on!

Will be interesting to see who turns out for the saders, hopefully Chambers gets a run for the Reds as he needs at least two games before round 1.

Sully at the back of the Myer Centre, near the McDonalds and across the road from Borders books, there is the 364 bus. Runs every half an hour maybe every 15 minutes, it takes you right outside Ballymore.

Yep I think most Garden City bus's go straight into the Myer Centre busway, so you'll only need to walk through the mall.

Some decent cattle in that Saders squad. Should be a good match for the Reds to assess where they are.

Sam Whitelock is a terrific player but he really needs to get right out of the Crusaders set-up.

Issac Ross and him would too small of a locking pair to play together and Ross will start every game.

Simple as that.

dont discount it too soon Noddy, i know these guys have put in a lot of training in prep for this game, it was planned months ago. Gold Coast SA Expats is only a new team i believe but the NZ Expats is a team thats been around for a couple of years, they even have a colts side that plays, Gold Coast has something like 45'000 kiwis living there these days with the majority in the 18-30yr old bracket.
