Afternoon footy

Weather forecast looks decent

How good

Potentially a couple of late scratchings is the whisper at the moment in Crusaders camp. Touch and go at this stage. Wasn’t allowed to know the names unfortunately which leads me to believe they could be rather important

Will Jordan struggling with an injury may not play this week.

Saders could easily end up zero from two after this game. The doubts from two seasons ago might then start to creep back in.

We will be right I expect a response this week .

Rivez is carrying a niggle and believe James White is to replace him on the bench.

@Fredsaua12 cheers mate will remove Reihana from my fantasy team, makes sense now as to why White was missing from the Development team today

Just started

Nice early involvements by Hannah

Brumbies 4 red zone entries nothing to show
Saders one entry they score

Stupid option from Sevu there

Sevu Reece what were you thinking lol

@Landers92 A winger with pace would have backed himself

Basic skills again ... expect better from Jordan

Straight between CLW and Newell. Too easy for Muirhead there.

Would love to see Pritchard in space

Crusaders with some lovely play at times but they really lack pace on the wings

@KiwiMurph Bell is their best winger

Nice Brumbies try

Both fullbacks causing havoc
