@Winger Numia demolished the Highlanders scrum when he came on earlier this year but it will be a big task packing down against one of the best in Owen Franks.

I think the Canes will have a very good tight five going forward, they just need a year or two in the saddle before they start to reach their potential.

Yeah it doesn't look promising for the Canes. You add in the fact that Rayasi and Umaga Jensen are green as grass, you know it's going to be a long night.

Simple game plan for the Crusaders: attack the Canes set piece and kick to Lam and Rayasi all night.

Hey got a couple of spares for Sat where's the best place for fan to fan resell just want face value but not sure where to post!! hope this is allowed it not please delete

Maybe you have just answered your own question?

Thanks for the advice guys, but I think I'll watch an episode of Chernobyl and then watch the late state house rugby match.

Chillax and make you're up early tomorrow morning

Canes vs Crusaders part IX will end up the same way as before

Saders crushing Canes once again

Canes have 2 wingers who're terrible defenders & get lost in space
and a #13 who's in for a through examination

11am NZ time tomorrow morning is the game to watch

Jaguares vs Brumbies in front of a 30,000+ crowd of wild Argentinians

Atmosphere is going to be

As well as a much more interesting & competitive game in all likelihood

@Chester-Draws The game plan under Blackadder was flawed and easy to shutdown it was too predictable plus he failed to motivate the AB's like Razor does.That's why we never won titles under him.We had no 2nd or 3rd options under pressure.We would have failed to win titles with the whole AB squad under Blackadder.

Plus Blackadder was a fucking horrific selector of outside backs in particular. Playing the likes of Rob Thompson on the wing, Nafi Tuitivake, Tom Taylor at fullback, Carter at 12, selecting Kieron Fonotia etc etc. Bloody awful.

So the Jags have just creamed the Nags. Great to have something different happening in the finals this season. If the Canes pull off an upset tonight, at least we get to see a different kind of final in terms of venue, time zone, atmosphere etc and a real anything-could-happen game too.

If we win tonight it will be Miracle on Ice shit. Verses will be written about how the good guys did the impossible against the evil southern empire. It will be one for the ages.

Saders by 20.

We are going to get wiped. But if there was ever a time for the ghosts of the fog final to do us a solid.....

Yeah they were horrific selections :fearful_face:

Proctor and Lowe into starting side.

@Canes4life Somehow I expected the Canes to copy that Lions trick with Proctor. Surprised to see Lowe in the starting line-up though.

@Stargazer you will be happy. A chance on the biggest stage. Hope he goes well.

@Canes4life A bit tough to get his first SR start in a semifinal, and against the Crusaders, but yeah, of course I hope he goes well, too!

Just saw on Fox sports the Crusaders are 22/22 for home finals. That is some record.
