@Chris-B yeah tough times when you have to reach deep into the bag of current and ex tier 1 internationals eh 😁

There's literally a dozen guys in that team who could sign for the Highlanders and not make them any better.

Like literally like. Because literally just signing for a team doesn't make them better, you sly dog you.

There was a noticeable difference in the Saders pack with big Sam not coming out after the break last week, not just his physical presence but his leadership too, was clearly missed - From a national perspective, I really hope he is not rushed back unnecessarily early for Super rugby.

Bit of a banana skin quarter for the saders.. they should win this comfortably , in cold Chch conditions.... just don't want any more additions to the casualty list really

This could be a bloodbath

the olde defensive bombs strikes again.

Drua can't miss tackles like that all night..

This one looks ominous already.

Oh dear, might not bother watching this one

Jailbreak7

Good handling by Barrett in the lead up to both tries.

Saders are just a great finals side.

Doesn't quite have that edge of the seat suspense to it like two hours ago...

Tordah

What kind of long knock on advantages is he playing, so annoying.

Crusaders are getting loose already, nowhere near the discipline and control needed. Hard when you're 21 up in minutes I guess

This type of play could bring the Drua back into the game.

Victor Meldrew

Saders need to watch their discipline here.

Headspace thing. Mirror image of the England Test last year.

Codie Taylor like a rabbit in the headlights, then ginger kick like a donkey

KiwiMurph

Christie directly in the side.

That turnover penalty sets an unreasonable standard IMO
