@African-Monkey at 6cm taller than Blackwell - yes please.

@African-Monkey Who are the tier of locks below the All Blacks?

(Whitelock, Barrett, Retallick, Romano, and Tuipulotu)

Strange, Parkinson, Scrafton? Anyone else? Walker-Leawere (1.97m) for the future?

@Tim I'd say Franklin probably needs to be taken into consideration, having been there or thereabouts.

@Canes4life Haha fair call.

@Tim Hemopo? He's still gonna play Super Rugby isn't he as well as in Japan? Fifita as well I guess would come into consideration if we had injury problems there.

Nah, he's off fully from the sounds of things.

Just been relayed some information regarding the Crusaders winning streak..according to SANZAR even though the Saders v Landers match was abandoned,.therefore the Crusaders winning streak is officially over..a bit unfair if you ask me,after all no game was played even though there points for the draw given out.thoughts..?

Who is the arbiter of what constitutes a winning streak? In my opinion it's srill going.

"Official" records may disagree.

Cantabs never paid any mind to officials anyway

@Tim Goodhue seems to be moving along nicely this season, getting good minutes under his belt which will help too

He's developing well. I just want to see him throw his weight around a bit more

They haven't lost and they haven't drawn a game that was played.

@Duluth yeah possibly a confidence thing (which is growing too) last couple of seasons everytime he looked to be finding his feet he got injured...

@antipodean I agree,saw the press release from SANZAR..shows what idiots they are..even the Sky guys were shaking their heads

Franks injured late scratching

@Chris hopefully out for next week.

Probably said, just take a rest, wasted here

Weather should favour the Crusaders, some nice play to start the game

Yeah pissing down by the looks

Bad miss by the Crusaders eight, easy try.

Pathetic effort from Douglas

Crusaders look a bit off , uncharacteristic errors
