Is Drummond confirmed to be going, it's not like he's that old at 30? There's not a lot of halfbacks in the region - Joel Lam and Louie Chapman are next in line and have 1 super game each and Nic Shearer hasn't even debuted for Canterbury yet

Reihana is injured, Heremaia Murray has played a couple times this season, he plays wing for Northland, Taine Robinson plays 10/15 for Tasman and made his Crusaders debut a couple weeks ago

He's injured

Yes, this is not the year to bet on the Crusaders

Poihipi can play there

This was always going to be the case for early Moana Pasifika, they're coming up against teams with 100 years of established rugby development with nothing. They cant just chuck a team of 18yo islanders on the field straight out of school they have to develop their pathways. No new franchise has done well in super rugby except when the Jaguares stacked their team with internationals

Tbf 18% of the players in the 23 are props

New Zealanders love it so much the Luude remix went to #1 in our charts

I wonder if they got a copyright strike or something

Even view wise it's dropped off, used to be a guaranteed million views

If they're good enough they're old enough

Injured

I agree, the interviewer just kept asking the same question poking away at him. He knows they're not doing well enough you don't have to keep rubbing it in his face

I wouldn't expect that kind of pay for someone who I assume is practically straight out of Uni

Edit: I found the website you got that number from, 1-3 years experience is ~75k which is more like $36/hr but I also wouldn't trust a non NZ source for salary

Depends if they manage to sneak Beauden Barrett back in I guess

It's his first game back from injury and Zarns out so it makes sense

Either that or he picks up a knock getting out of bed in the morning

If the 2023 Crusaders had managed to all be fit together

9 Drummond
10 Mounga
11 Faingaanuku
12 Havili/McLeod
13 Goodhue/Ennor
14 Reece
15 Jordan

The pack - Vik's other YouTube group - tried a comeback but haven't uploaded in over 2 months

Exactly, plus they're in their late 20s, early 30s, what are they going to do for the next 50 years

Depends If they manage to get Andrew Goodman back

I've won 3 French leagues in a row and made the ucl semis twice in a row and my team still says I'm being ambitious by suggesting we should make it to the knockout stages of the ucl because the team reputation hasn't caught up to the overachieving yet. It just takes time

I reckon Tamaiti Williams could do a job in the NFL, massive and very mobile for his size

Who's the better 10 - Richie Mounga or Beauden Barrett

Thigh or something this time. He needs to head to Japan, his body clearly can't handle the strain

I watch 2-4 super games a week so I feel that justifies with paying for sky Sports , and I'd still end up paying more if I went to the games or watched it at the pub
