Is that his only appearance? I just remember him carrying well and getting around the park.

He came off the bench in all 4 games.this will be his first start v Blues.

I don't see anything special in Gallagher, and that goes back to watching him as captain of the NZ Schools team.

Back then Hannah looked like a walking broomstick. He had a high workrate and threw himself around but needed to put 20 kg on.

Just saw report that Strange and Crotty are out for Crusaders

Could this be covid related ?

Cahill starting. confirmed
,

Do U no Crotty replacement yet ?

Duluth

From the Crusaders website:

Quinten Strange has been ruled out of the starting XV after sustaining a neck injury in training. He’ll stay home as a precaution.  

Ryan Crotty also sustained a minor groin injury during Captain’s Run and has been ruled out of the Blues fixture. 

Tahlor Cahill takes Quin’s starting spot. Fletcher Anderson and Johnny McNicholl take spots on the bench, Anderson looking at a debut in the jersey.

So I think this is the new side:

George Bower, George Bell, Fletcher Newell, Tahlor Cahill, Jamie Hannah, Dominic Gardiner, Tom Christie, Cullen Grace, Willi Heinz, Riley Hohepa, Macca Springer, David Havili (c), Levi Aumua, Sevu Reece, Chay Fihaki

Reserves: Ioane Moananu, Joe Moody, Seb Calder, Fletcher Anderson, Corey Kellow, Noah Hotham, Johnny McNicholl, Dallas McLeod

@Duluth so no covid involved then going by that?

Duluth

@george33

I guess not. I only know what was on their website

Fletcher Anderson?

Crazy Horse

That Crusaders outfit is arguably starting to look the weakest NZ team on paper.

Chris thanks , best of Luck mate it's not over until the final whistle
