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

Chris thanks , best of Luck mate it's not over until the final whistle
It could get ugly Blues by 25 I reckon.
Maybe your time this season.
@george33 said in Blues v Crusaders:
Chris Levi Aumua is this his game to finally get his Mojo with Crusaders?
Hopefully he just needs his hands on the ball more,1 or 2 runs a game is a waste.
Surely this would have to be one of the most inexperienced Crusaders 23 since the start of Super Rugby no?
