World Rugby need to crack down on this. Name a 23 on Monday!
that will affect our Thursday naming too, not sure people could handle the change, although I guess at least if they standardise it, everyone knows when the team will be named.

Meeting their powder dry
Also SA ref in game with SA conference winner in it, the stitch is on!

Geez, that's a lot of bandage for a broken finger.

Nah, Peyper is a homer like Jackson.
@Chris I was implying that WR and SANZAAR have a different view on the refs. 
that's a bit shit for crotty and barrett eh, big losses.
ennor is a gun i reckon, quick off the mark, good hands and one of our few backs who can hold their depth and hit a pass with pace. goodhue we all know is excellent, so surely they'll sort themselves out.
not so convinced about the locking options. romano is okay, strange hasn't kicked on, dunshea's been okay. none of them have had a season that is a patch on ennor's though.

@Stargazer said in SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares:
to play Bateman at 12, which wouldn't be such a bad choice if he had played a few more gam
I believe Will Jordan is fit again from his foot injury
If he's match fit I'd play him at 15, move Havilli to 12 with Ennor #23
If he;s not match fit I'd move Goodhue to 12, Ennor to 13 & Jordan #23
I happened to see Havili at 12 in one game and he looked very at home.
If RC was leader of backline defence I wonder who is his designated deputy, if there is one.
@Stargazer said in SR Final: Crusaders v Jaguares:
@pakman Havili played at 12 for Ta$man all season in 2018. Captained the team as well.
So maybe a good option. At this stage JG seems to offer much more at centre.
Goodhue is a natural centre and defensively is very good there. At 12 he was iffy and add to that Ennor really struggled defensively at centre.
In attack Ennor has the goods.
Whilst it seems unlikely I would feel far more comfortable with:
12 - Havili
13 - Goodhue
15 - Jordan
23 - Ennor
@ACT-Crusader Jordan was really weak at fullback in the Sharks game, and things improved a lot when Bridge moved to fullback when they took off Jordan. So another option might be:
11 - Ennor
12 - Havili
13 - Goodhue
15 - Bridge
23 - Jordan
Quesada is a big time coach

I doubt it will be anywhere near as bad as Foster's Chiefs loss to the Bulls in 2009.

Was that 50 points? 60? Hmmm I don't see ArgJags being that rubbish
That Jaguares4life dude has ruined this match for me - before he started trolling like a mad man I would have supported the Jaguares. He’s managed to do on his own what a whole bunch of Irish fans did - make the team less likeable, when its not their fault.
Now I’ll just be a neutral observer in this match.

Looking forward to the WC how much confidence will the Argentine squad get from defeating a AB laden Crusaders in CHCH
Hugh amount so would say may ease some mental doubts come WC time.
