According to their official site Crusaders replacement lock Jamie Hannah weighs as much as Fergus Burke (94kg).

The depth is certainly being tested at the moment.

I think that’s an old figure and he’s put on some weight since last year. Up at 100kg I think.

They also have Tahlor Cahill training with the squad he is a lot bigger,But he is u/20 and the Crusaders are having to micro manage Hotham,Springer and Kemara's Super Rugby minutes because of their age.
I understood Cahill was to get some game time when Dunshea got injured and became out for the season,But with 4 locks being injured and Barrett having to have AB rest weeks they have given the time to Hannah as he has no playing time restrictions.
Cahill has more upside than Hannah unless Hannah can put on a few kilos, I think he runs at about 105 ks now I did see Razor mentioned he is a good athlete but a few ks light.

Stargazer

Leicester Fainga'anuku ruled out; Dallas McLeod straight into the starting line-up.

I assume Goodhue will shift to 13?

Yeetyaah

Goldie calling Mo'unga the "most influential super rugby player of all time" is certainly a take.

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah There aren't many players at Super Rugby level who've achieved what he has though. Who else has steered his team to that many titles?

Yeetyaah

@Stargazer not doubting his accolades or his influence as a whole, but all time?

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah Who else has achieved that and has been so influential for his team since the competition started in 1996?

We all know that's Elliott Dixon

Yeetyaah

@Bones Who didn't score that try. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Bones

Mounga with kicking lessons from Hunt.

Jailbreak7

Why wouldn't you trust your scrum?

Bones

Strange is an egg. He'd suit being Australian.

Jailbreak7

Who has replaced LF at 13? Is that Goodhue - they need to learn how to tackle

Bones

Crusaders finally get penalised after about the 5th ruck with a player just lying/kneeling there on the wrong side
